The Allen-Bradley 1734D-IB16 is part of the POINT I/O 1734 modules series. It is a family of modular I/O products which are ideal for applications that require flexibility for effective control system operation and design. The 1734D-IB16 includes a self-configuring feature a discrete module that helps simplify and reduce inventory and design. The modularity of the 1734D-IB16 POINT I/O 1734 reduces system size and cost. It can mix safe and standard I/O which provide even greater opportunities and flexibility. 

The Allen-Bradley 1734D-IB16 POINT I/O 1734 is a member of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture which is a key component that provides a simplified configurable and diagnostic element that makes the product easy to manage and apply to any automation system that pays little respect to the requirements of the application. The 1734D-IB16 further reduces engineering costs in installation, design, and application development through standardization. This 1734D-IB16 can be used in local control and remote device panels and can be easily accessed from many locations which includes the internet. 

The Allen-Bradley 1734D-IB16 Point I/O 1734 module is a DIN-rail mounted device with 16 integrated inputs, a PointBus expansion port, removable terminations, and a DeviceNet communication interface. The 1734D-IB16’s expansion port allows you to add a maximum of 12 additional POINT I/O modules.

The 1734D-IB16 Point I/O 1734 uses cage-clamp terminations. It has a non-isolated DeviceNet communication interface and the 24V DC DeviceNet connection powers a non-isolated AC/DC converter that generates +5V DC which powers the POINTBlock electronics and it connects to the PointBus port for powering the expansion I/O electronics.
