COMMUNICATION ADAPTER ALLEN-BRADLEY POINT I/O – 1734-AENT

POINT I/O modules offer a variety of input and output options such as digital, analog, thermocouples, and more, allowing them to be tailored to specific application requirements.

The Allen-Bradley POINT I/O – 1734-AENT EtherNet/IP communication adapter enables the integration of POINT I/O modules with various industrial networks, which significantly increases the flexibility and scalability of automation systems.

The 1734-AENT adapter is designed to allow easy connection of POINT I/O modules to communication networks such as Ethernet/IP that are commonly used in industrial environments. Thanks to this, it is possible to construct a distributed I/O architecture in which various POINT I/O modules can communicate effectively with the central control system.

The 1734-AENT not only provides a physical connection, but also enables the transfer of communication data between POINT I/O modules and the host system. Thanks to this, automation systems can effectively monitor and control devices and processes that are connected to POINT I/O modules. With the ability to integrate with Ethernet/IP networks, the 1734-AENT adapter opens the door to advanced communication strategies and enables real-time data transfer, which is crucial for the effective management of today’s industrial applications.

The 1734-AENT module has one (1) Ethernet interface that can operate at various baud rates, either 10/100 Mbps, half duplex or full duplex. This communication versatility allows optimal adaptation to the specifications of the application.

The 1734-AENT has a built-in Ethernet communication port with an RJ45 physical interface. This port supports 10/100 Mbps in half or full duplex mode. It is equipped with an auto-negotiation function, eliminating the need to set the baud rate of the module specifically. A maximum of 63 POINT I/O modules or a maximum of 504 I/O points can be installed in the 1734-AENT. Expansion power supplies can be installed to provide sufficient POINTBus current to modules installed in the POINT I/O rack.

One (1) expansion power supply can power up to 17 modules. This module can communicate with other POINT I/O modules on the same DIN rail. IP addresses in this module are assigned using standard BootP or DHCP tools. The Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT can handle calls from several controllers simultaneously. The 1734-AENT adapter has a rated input voltage of 24 V DC and a starting current of 6 A.
