Product Summary
The 1734-IE8C analog input module receives eight single-ended current signals. It converts 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA inputs into digital data. This module provides reliable signal processing for industrial control systems. Its compact size saves valuable space in your control cabinet.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Industrial engineers need precise analog input for process control. The 1734-IE8C delivers this with 16-bit resolution across a 0-21 mA range. This absolute accuracy reaches 0.1% full scale at 25 degrees Celsius. Such precision ensures your system captures critical process variables correctly.
Procurement managers value the module’s flexible configuration options. The 1734-IE8C allows individually configurable channels for diverse applications. You can select input filters for each channel independently. This feature reduces external signal conditioning hardware requirements.
The module uses a delta-sigma conversion type for signal processing. This technology provides excellent noise rejection for industrial environments. The converted data stores as a signed integer format. Engineers can easily scale this data to engineering units.
Channel-level diagnostics on the 1734-IE8C enhance system troubleshooting capabilities. The module detects over-range and under-range conditions automatically. This feature alerts operators to potential sensor failures quickly. It reduces downtime by pinpointing problematic channels.
Electrical specifications show the module dissipates only 0.6 W at 28.8V DC. This low power consumption minimizes heat buildup in dense I/O racks. The thermal dissipation equals just 2.0 BTU/hr. These values make the module ideal for high-density installations.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Mount the 1734-IE8C onto a compatible POINT I/O terminal base. Use models like the 1734-TB or 1734-TBS two-piece base. Alternatively, choose the 1734-TOP or 1734-TOPS one-piece base. Ensure the base is attached securely to the DIN rail.
Wire signal inputs using copper wire from 22 to 14 AWG. The insulation must be rated for at least 100 degrees Celsius. Strip insulation to 1.2 mm for proper connection. Connect each field device to the appropriate channel terminals.
The module requires a POINT I/O communication adapter to operate. Install this adapter at the beginning of your I/O bank. The 1734-IE8C will not function without this critical component. Verify the adapter is properly configured for your network.
Configure the module using your programmable logic controller software. Set the input range to either 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA. The 1734-IE8C is factory calibrated and needs no field calibration. Proper data configuration is the only setup requirement.
