Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1734-IB2 is a digital DC sinking input module from the POINT I/O series. It provides two reliable 24V DC inputs for your industrial control system. This compact module simplifies setup with its removable terminal block and supports open network connectivity.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
This module delivers precise signal capture for discrete sensors. It uses a sinking input topology, which means the module completes the circuit to ground. This design works perfectly with sourcing sensors like PNP proximity switches. The 1734-IB2 requires a 24V DC nominal power supply. It accepts a wide range from 10 to 28.8V DC.
The module draws a maximum input current of just 5 milliamps per channel. This low draw reduces heat generation and power supply strain. It consumes only 0.7 Watts of power at 28.8V DC. The unit dissipates just 2.4 BTU per hour of thermal energy. This low thermal output allows for dense panel layouts.
You can mount this module horizontally or vertically. Its open-style enclosure handles tough industrial environments. The operating temperature range spans from -20 to 55 degrees Celsius. This tolerance suits most factory floor conditions. The module weighs only 30.9 grams for easy handling.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers need to verify system compatibility before ordering. The 1734-IB2 integrates seamlessly into a 1734 POINT I/O system. You must mount it on a designated mounting base. The keyswitch on that base must be in position 1 for correct operation.
This module connects to major industrial networks. It supports ControlNet, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP protocols. This flexibility ensures integration with existing Rockwell architectures. The terminal base screw torque is 0.8 N-m or 7 pound-inches. This specification ensures a secure and vibration-resistant connection.
The module dimensions are 56 x 12 x 75.5 millimeters. Its narrow profile saves valuable panel space. The removable terminal block (RTB) simplifies wiring and future replacements. You can pre-wire the RTB before module installation. This feature significantly reduces downtime during changeovers.
