ALLEN-BRADLEY POINT I/O Guard SAFETY OUTPUT MODULE – 1734-IB8S

The POINT I/O Guard series is an advanced line of Allen-Bradley security modules, dedicated to applications requiring the highest security standards.

The Allen-Bradley POINT I/O Guard – 1734-IB8S safety module has found its application in applications requiring higher safety standards, such as SIL (Safety Integrity Level). It is a POINT Guard IO safety module, equipped with eight (8) current absorbing input channels and four (4) current source pulse test outputs.

Typical applications for this module include safety applications such as emergency pushbuttons, safety gates, light curtains and other safety devices. Its dual channel allows the coherence of two input signals to be evaluated, allowing it to be used in Category 3 and Category 4 applications. It can also be used in single channel mode, allowing it to be used in Category 2 applications.

This module offers a configurable discrepancy time between channels, protecting against false error signals. It also has a wiring short circuit check, available when wiring input channels in conjunction with test outputs. Each channel has individually adjustable delays for ON signals. and OFF, minimizing the risk of false readings.

The 1734-IB8S works with SmartGuard, GuardLogix and Compact GuardLogix controllers. It is an integral part of the POINT I/O platform, managing extensions to the CIP security protocols. The module operates from 19.2 to 28.8 V DC, has a response time of 16.2 milliseconds and can communicate over Ethernet/IP and DeviceNet networks.

Its dimensions are 77 x 25 x 55 mm and the weight is 62.4 g. This module is available in versions A and B, mounted horizontally or vertically. It offers exceptional performance in the area of security in applications where the highest reliability is crucial.
