The 1734-FPD is a field-side voltage distribution module from Rockwell Automation. It belongs to the Allen-Bradley POINT I/O series. This module breaks down field power for your control system. It has no power consumption or thermal dissipation. Engineers use it to power sensors and actuators safely.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
This module provides a robust power distribution solution. It accepts a wide range of power supply inputs. You can use 12/24 Volts DC or 120/240 Volts AC. The working voltage range is 10-28.8V DC. For AC, the range is 120-240V AC. This flexibility makes it ideal for global applications.
The field power supply current is a strong 10 amps. This rating ensures it can handle multiple field devices. The isolation voltage is 250 Volts continuous. A continuous isolation voltage of 50V is tested at 2600V DC for 60 seconds. This testing guarantees operator safety and signal integrity.
The module operates reliably in harsh environments. The operating temperature range is -20 to 55 degrees Celsius. This tolerance suits factory floors and outdoor enclosures. The 1734-FPD weighs only 0.12 kg. Its dimensions are 76.2 mm x 25.4 mm x 133.4 mm. This compact size saves valuable panel space.
Network connectivity is highly versatile. The module works with ControlNet, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP. It uses standard 1734-adapters for these networks. This integration allows seamless data flow in your automation architecture. The module supports both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations.
Step-by-Step User & Installation Guide
Start the installation by selecting the correct location. Ensure the ambient temperature stays within -20 to 55 degrees Celsius. Mount the module on a standard DIN rail. You can orient it horizontally or vertically. The open-style enclosure type requires a clean, dry environment.
Prepare your copper wiring for the connection. Use stranded or solid copper wire rated at 75 degrees Celsius. The acceptable wire size is 0.25 to 2.5 mm squared. This range equates to 22 AWG to 14 AWG. Strip the wire insulation carefully to ensure a solid connection.
Connect the wires to the removable terminal block (RTB). The terminal base screw torque must be exactly 0.6 Nm or 7 lb-in. Over-tightening can damage the terminal. Use the terminal handle for easy insertion and removal. This design simplifies maintenance and module replacement.
Apply the correct power supply input voltage. Use either 12/24 Volts DC or 120/240 Volts AC. The field power bus supply current must not exceed 10 A. Verify the isolation voltage rating of 250 Volts is suitable for your system. Test the connection with a 2600V DC test for 60 seconds.
