Allen-Bradley 1734-ADNX POINT I/O DeviceNet Adapter Module

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 1734-ADNX are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

For example, in a packaging facility, the 1734-ADNX coordinates multiple POINT I/O modules to manage conveyor speeds and product diverters. Its 24 Volts DC input and 400 milliamps field side power support reliable operation in electrically noisy environments. Another use case is in material handling systems, where the adapter's 1000 milliamps POINTBus current ensures stable communication across numerous I/O points, reducing downtime from network errors.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Install the 1734-ADNX as the leftmost module in a 1734 system. Use a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV) power supply rated at 24 Volts DC nominal to comply with CE Low Voltage Directives (LVD). The Auto Start Mode simplifies configuration, while the Auto Catalog Replace feature corrects errors if backplane modules are removed and replaced incorrectly. Ensure the DeviceNet network is properly terminated and that the adapter's 6 amps inrush current is accounted for in your power budget.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the three red/green status indicators and two green power supply status indicators for normal operation. Keep the module clean and free from dust in industrial environments. The 8.1 Watts power consumption and 2.8 Watts dissipation at 28.8 Volts indicate efficient thermal performance, but ensure adequate ventilation around the enclosure.

Why Your DeviceNet Network Needs a Reliable Interface

Compatibility & Integration

The 1734-ADNX supports both I/O and explicit connections on DeviceNet, using I/O mapping to define data in each connection. It is fully configurable with POINT I/O modules and other DeviceNet devices. The adapter resides simultaneously on the subnet and the primary DeviceNet network, acting as a scanner and master on the subnet while serving as a slave to DeviceNet masters.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 1734-ADNX, verify your DeviceNet network topology and power requirements.
