1734-8CFG Allen-Bradley DC Configurable I/O Module 8 Points

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1734-8CFG is a POINT I/O module. It has 8 configurable I/O points. Each point works as input or output. The module self-configures based on wiring. This flexibility simplifies system design. Use it with 1734-TOPS, 1734-TOP, 1734-TBS, or 1734-TB bases. The module supports hot swapping. It communicates via POINTBus backplane. The key switch position is 1. Ensure correct keying before installation. The input voltage range starts at 11 V DC. Input current is 2 to 5 mA. Output voltage ranges from 10 to 28.8 V DC. Power dissipation is 2.6 W at maximum output. Thermal dissipation is 8.9 BTU/hour. The module draws 100 mA at 5 V DC from the backplane. Operating temperature is -20 to 55 °C. The open enclosure design allows easy integration. It mounts on a DIN rail. Reverse polarity protection safeguards the module. All connected I/Os need SELV or PELV power sources. This module reduces inventory by replacing separate input and output modules.

Application Scenarios

This module fits many industrial applications. Use it in manufacturing lines. It works for machine control systems. It handles discrete signals. It is ideal for flexible I/O needs.
