Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1734-8CFG offers eight configurable I/O points. This module handles both input and output signals. It operates with a minimum voltage of 11 Volts DC. The module draws an input current of 2 to 5 milliamps. This flexibility reduces the need for separate input and output modules.
[Theme Option A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide]
Solving Configuration Challenges with the 1734-8CFG
Procurement managers often struggle with inventory complexity. The 1734-8CFG solves this by combining input and output functions. Each of the eight points self-configures as an input or output. This eliminates the need to stock separate dedicated modules. This single unit streamlines your spare parts inventory.
Key Technical Specifications for Engineers
Application engineers need precise electrical data. The module works with 8 to 24 Volts DC signals. Its on-state input current range is 2 to 5 milliamps. The output voltage range spans 10 to 28.8 Volts DC. This wide range supports many standard industrial sensors and actuators.
Power and Thermal Management Details
Understanding power dissipation is critical for panel design. At maximum voltage, the module dissipates just 2.6 Watts. Its thermal dissipation is only 8.9 BTU per hour. The module draws 100 mA from the POINTBus at 5 Volts. These low values allow for dense panel layouts without overheating.
Safety and Compatibility Requirements
Every connected I/O device must use a compliant power source. The module requires a PELV or SELV rated power supply. This ensures operator safety and protects the module. The 1734-8CFG is compatible with specific wiring bases. Use only the 1734-TB, 1734-TBS, 1734-TOP, or 1734-TOPS base units.
Flexible Installation and Addressing
The module supports hot-swapping for easy maintenance. It allows removal and insertion under power without system disruption. The device supports auto-baud and auto-address features. This simplifies network setup and reduces commissioning time. Install the module before or after the terminal base assembly.
