Is the Rockwell 2711-M3A18L1 discontinued?

The 2711-M3A18L1 has been cancelled (since June 2012): no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.

Source: GlobalSpec / Radwell data (secondary source). Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.

What Cancellation means for you

You can no longer order it as a normal product, and nothing new should be designed around it. If machines depend on it, you want spare stock you can rely on and a migration plan. Both start with knowing how many you run and whether each has a backup.

Before replacing an HMI

With an HMI, the editable application is at least as important as the screen itself. We would secure the source project, record the engineering-software version, PLC communications, recipes or retained data, and measure the panel cut-out.

Conversion utilities can speed up a migration, but older drivers, scripts, alarms and fonts do not always transfer cleanly. A spare display only protects production if the correct application can be restored to it.

Common questions about the 2711-M3A18L1

Is the Rockwell 2711-M3A18L1 discontinued?

The 2711-M3A18L1 has been cancelled (since June 2012): no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.

Can I still buy a 2711-M3A18L1?

Not as a normal new product. Remaining distributor stock or designated spares may still be available. Buy any you need now.

How do I back up a 2711-M3A18L1?

It is programmed with Panel Builder 32. The exact software version and cable depend on the unit's firmware. ECS records both for every unit it captures, alongside a verified backup.

With a backup, a failed unit is hours. Without one, it is days.

A Capture audit finds every 2711-M3A18L1 on your site, takes a backup of each one it can reach, and records the software version and cable needed to restore it. When a discontinued unit fails and a replacement turns up, the program is ready to load.

  • Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
  • Backups taken on the day, with software version and cable recorded
  • Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
  • No production downtime
