Allen-Bradley POINT I/O 1734-IK Incremental Encoder Module

Product Overview

The 1734-IK is an incremental encoder module from Allen-Bradley. It belongs to the POINT I/O series. This module has one counter. It accepts input voltages from 15 to 24 volts DC. The module processes signals from pulse generators and differential or single-ended encoders. It can handle frequencies up to 1 MHz. The module returns a 24-bit count value between 0 and 16,777,215 in a 32-bit word. Five status indicators show the state of the module, network, and A, B, Z inputs.

Application Scenarios

Use this module in industrial automation systems. It works with mechanical limit switches. It receives feedback from rotary encoders. You can integrate it into control panels or machine cabinets. The module connects to a 1734-TB, 1734-TBS, 1734-TB3, or 1734-TB3S wiring base. It mounts on a DIN rail. Typical applications include conveyor systems, packaging machines, and material handling equipment.

Technical Specifications

The module has an input current of 6.1 mA at 15V DC and 10.2 mA at 24V DC. Off-state current is less than 0.250 mA. On-state current is at least 5 mA. On-state voltage is below 12.5V DC. The key switch position is 2. Wiring category is 1. Enclosure type is open-style. Dimensions are 2.21 x 0.47 x 2.97 inches. Weight is 0.08 pounds. Operating temperature range is -20 to 55 degrees Celsius. Non-operating temperature range is -4 to 85 degrees Celsius. Relative humidity is 5 to 95% non-condensing. The module withstands 5 g vibration at 10 to 500 Hz. It handles 30 g operating shock and 50 g non-operating shock. Maximum POINT bus current is 160 mA. Maximum power dissipation is 1.5 W. Maximum thermal dissipation is 5.1 BTU/hour.

Installation & Maintenance Guide

Install the module on a DIN rail. Use a compatible wiring base. Connect wires using 22 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. Ensure the key switch position matches position 2. No external DC power supply is needed. The module powers from the POINT bus. Check the status indicators regularly. Green means normal operation. Red indicates a fault. Yellow shows input activity. Keep the enclosure free of dust and moisture. Do not expose the module to temperatures outside the operating range.
