Product Summary
The 1734-232ASC is a compact POINT I/O module from Rockwell Automation that provides a single RS232 port. It integrates ASCII devices like barcode readers into your control system for sorting and quality assurance.
Theme A: Procurement & Application Guide for the 1734-232ASC
Engineers choose the 1734-232ASC to connect serial barcode scanners directly to a Logix platform. This module eliminates the need for a separate protocol converter. It handles full-duplex communication at speeds up to 38.4k baud. The module accepts a wide voltage range from 10 to 28.8V DC. It draws only 15mA at 24V DC, which keeps power supply costs low. The compact form factor measures just 12mm wide. This design saves valuable space inside a crowded control panel.
Procurement managers value the module’s flexibility for system design. It supports multiple character framings like 8N1 and 7E1 to match various devices. The module operates reliably in temperatures from -20 to 55°C. It also withstands 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity. These specs make it suitable for harsh factory floor environments. The module mounts on a standard 1734-TB wiring base assembly. It uses keyswitch position 2 for correct installation. This alignment prevents wiring errors during setup.
The module features hot-swap capability with its RIUP support. You can replace the unit without powering down the entire chassis. This feature minimizes costly production downtime during maintenance. The module also supports Auto Device Replacement (ADR). This function automatically configures a new module with the correct parameters. It simplifies spare part management and reduces commissioning time. The 1734-232ASC uses DeviceLogix technology for local control. It can process simple logic independently of the main controller. This capability speeds up response times for critical sorting actions.
