Product Summary
The 1734-IK is a single-channel incremental encoder module for the POINT I/O system. It processes high-speed feedback from encoders and pulse generators. This module delivers a 24-bit count value to the controller for precise motion applications.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
This module handles frequencies up to 1 MHz with high accuracy. It returns a 24-bit binary number from 0 to 16,777,215. The system expresses this value in a 32-bit long word for easy use.
The 1734-IK accepts feedback from differential or single-ended encoders. It also works with mechanical limit switches for versatile input options. The input group includes A/A, B/B, and Z/Z returns.
This module operates with an input voltage from 15 to 24 Volts DC. The nominal input voltage sits at 24 Volts DC for standard applications. The input current measures 10.2 mA at 24V DC.
The on-state voltage must be equal to or less than 12.5 Volts DC. The on-state current requires a minimum of 5 mA for reliable operation. The off-state maximum current is less than or equal to 0.250 mA.
This module handles tough industrial environments with ease. The operating temperature range spans from -20 to 55 degrees Celsius. It withstands non-condensing relative humidity from 5 to 95 percent.
The module survives operating vibration of 5 g at 10 to 500 Hertz. It also endures an operating shock of 30 g for reliable performance. The non-operating shock rating reaches 50 g for transport safety.
Step-by-Step User & Installation Guide
Mount the 1734-IK on a standard DIN rail for secure installation. Use a compatible wiring base assembly like the 1734-TB or 1734-TB3. The module fits bases such as 1734-TBS and 1734-TB3S as well.
Connect 22 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire to the terminals. The wiring category is 1 on all signal ports for standard installation. This module does not require an external DC power supply.
Five status indicators show the current state of the module and inputs. The module and network status indicators glow green or red. The A, B, and Z input status indicators shine yellow for easy monitoring.
The module measures 2.21 x 0.47 x 2.97 inches for a compact footprint. It weighs only 0.08 pounds for lightweight installation. The open-type enclosure requires placement inside a rated cabinet.
The maximum POINT bus current is 160 mA for power budgeting. The maximum power dissipation reaches 1.5 W at the rated load. The thermal dissipation hits 5.1 BTU/hour at the rated load.
