It uses open-style connectors at each end for reliable signal transmission. This cable supports system flexibility and lowers ownership costs.
Technical Specifications & Buyer Guide
Core Specifications for the 1734-EXT3
The Allen-Bradley 1734-EXT3 belongs to the POINT I/O series from Rockwell Automation. This part type is an extension cable with a precise length of 3 meters. The cable works exclusively with the 1794 modular POINT I/O system. It comes with open-style connectors at both ends. These connectors allow for easy in-cabinet installation and routing.
System Compatibility and Use
The 1734-EXT3 cable connects POINT I/O modules to various networks. The POINT I/O system supports up to 63 I/O modules per node. This enables a maximum of 504 channels per node. Each I/O module can handle up to 8 points. The system supports six I/O types including analog, digital, and RTD. It also works with AC/DC, specialty, and Thermocouple modules. Users can install specialty modules like RS-485 and RS-232.
Network Connectivity Options
The 1734-EXT3 cable integrates with four main adapter types. These adapters include DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, ControlNet, and Profibus. Logix controllers can use ControlNet and Ethernet/IP networks. Other network options include OPC/DDE data monitoring. The cable provides a reliable physical link between these components. This ensures stable data flow across the entire system.
Key Feature: RIUP Capability
The POINT I/O system features a Remove and Insert Under Power (RIUP) function. This allows users to insert or remove modules while the system runs. The 1734-EXT3 cable supports this hot-swapping capability. This feature minimizes downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. Engineers can replace components without shutting down the entire line.
Installation Guidance for the 1734-EXT3
Apply the 1734-EXT3 cable strictly inside an industrial cabinet. Route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends or stress points. Ensure the open-style connectors seat firmly into their ports. Verify the cable length suits your specific cabinet layout. Always follow Rockwell Automation’s official installation manual for best results.
