Product Summary
The Allen‑Bradley 1734‑IB2 is a digital DC sinking input module from the POINT I/O family. It offers two 24V DC inputs with a maximum current of 5 milliamps per channel. Engineers can integrate this compact module into ControlNet, DeviceNet, or EtherNet/IP networks. Its lightweight design simplifies installation in tight control cabinets.
Theme Option A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers need components that reduce downtime and simplify inventory. The 1734‑IB2 meets these demands with its standard 24V DC input voltage. This module operates reliably from 10 to 28.8V DC. It consumes only 75 milliamps from the POINTBus. Such low power usage lowers overall system energy costs.
Application engineers will appreciate the module’s minimal thermal output. At maximum voltage, it dissipates just 2.4 BTU/hour. This low heat generation allows placement near other sensitive components. You can mount the unit horizontally or vertically to fit your layout.
The module uses a Removable Terminal Block (RTB) on its base. This feature speeds up wiring and future replacements. The keyswitch on the base must be in position 1 for correct operation. Always verify this setting during initial setup to prevent configuration errors.
For network flexibility, the 1734‑IB2 supports several open protocols. It works seamlessly with ControlNet, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP systems. This compatibility protects your investment in existing automation infrastructure. You can integrate it without major network changes.
Theme Option B: Step-by-Step User & Installation Guide
Start by mounting the 1734‑IB2 onto its designated base. Ensure the keyswitch is set to position 1. This prevents incorrect installation. Tighten the terminal base screws to 0.8 N-m (7 lb‑in). Use a calibrated torque driver for accuracy.
Next, connect the field wiring to the RTB. Each of the two inputs accepts 24V DC sink signals. The maximum input current per channel is 5 milliamps. Verify that your sensors or switches meet this specification. Incorrect current can cause false readings.
After wiring, attach the RTB securely to the module. The compact dimensions of 56 x 12 x 75.5 mm allow installation in crowded panels. You can orient the module either horizontally or vertically. This flexibility aids in cable management.
Finally, integrate the module into your chosen network. Configure the POINTBus settings in your controller. The module draws 75 milliamps from the bus at 5V DC. Ensure your power supply can handle this load along with other modules.
