The Allen-Bradley 1734D-IB8XOB8E is a POINTBlock I/O module. This module is designed to operate as a stand-alone device as it comes with built-in Devicenet communication interface and embedded I/O channels particularly Eight (8) 24 DVC Discrete inputs and Eight (8) 24 VDC Discrete outputs. These primary features allow this device to act as a stand-alone I/O station which is capable of sending input signal status to the central controller and receive control commands to implement electrical load actuation.

The 1734D-IB8XOB8E is a DIN rail mounted device. It supports installation of up to 12 POINT I/O expansion modules and comes with a LED status indicator comprised of One (1) red/ green module status indicator; One (1) red/green network status indicator and Sixteen (16) I/O status indicators where Eight (8) LEDs are assigned for input channels and Eight (8) for output channels. The ON state voltage range of the input and output channels are same, with voltage range of 10-28.8 VDC with nominal voltage 24 VDC value.

The 1734D-IB8XOB8E module’s PointBus output current is 1A max @ 5V dc output power and DeviceNet current of 95mA maximum for POINTBlock module only and 350mA maximum current when installed with maximum of 12 POINT I/O modules.

The 1734D-IB8XOB8E has maximum power dissipation of 2.0W @ 24V dc and power consumption of 8.2W maximum @ 24V dc. It has an operating temperature of -20 to +55o C (-4 to +131oF) and storage temperature of 40 to 85 OC (-40 to 185 oF) with relative humidity of 5-95% humidity.

The 1734D-IB8XOB8E is a member of the Allen-Bradley POINT I/O module series that is perfect for flexible applications that are key for effective system design, control, and operation. The 1734D-IB8XOB8E is a key element for the Rockwell Integrated Architecture Automation because it comes with configurable features and complete diagnostics functions. The 1734D-IB8XOB8E can apply to any integrated automation system and it lessens engineering cost by means of standardization.

The Allen-Bradley 1734D-IB8XOB8E is DIN-rail mounted and comes with a DeviceNet integrated communication interface that has several combinations of POINTBus expansion ports, removable terminations, and onboard I/O points. It allows input and output information status to be shared among many Logix controllers as this module support the maker/consumer technology. The Allen-Bradley 1734D-IB8XOB8E uses cage-clamp terminations and has 24V DC power, a 2-Watt power dissipation, and an 8.2-Watt power consumption.
