The Allen-Bradley 1734-IB8 is a versatile eight-channel discrete input module designed for integration within the 1734 Point I/O system, making it ideal for implementing distributed I/O architectures. Operating at a nominal 24VDC, with input channels supporting sink wiring configurations, this compact module features a fixed 0.5 ms hardware input filter and a customizable filter range of 0 ms to 63 ms. Compatible with POINT I/O communication adapters and supporting DeviceNet and ProfiBus, the 1734-IB8 requires a terminal base like the 1734-TB or 1734-TBS and features individual status LEDs for each channel and network status, ensuring operational clarity. With a current draw of 75 mA at 5V DC and a power dissipation of 1.6 Watts, it offers robust insulation with a tested voltage of 2500V DC, perfect for industrial environments. Its compact design, adaptable mounting options, and durable construction make it an efficient solution for demanding automation tasks.
