The Allen-Bradley 1734-IB8S is a sophisticated POINT Guard IO Safety module designed to meet Safety Instrumentation Level requirements with eight current sinking input channels and four current sourcing pulse test outputs. Engineered for applications involving critical safety devices like emergency stop buttons, gate switches, and light curtains, it supports both dual-channel mode for Safety Category 3 and 4 and single-channel mode for Category 2. With features such as configurable discrepancy time, individual signal delay adjustments, and external wiring short checks, this module ensures robust safety monitoring and fault detection. It operates at a nominal 24V DC, with a power dissipation of 3.4W, making it compatible with SmartGuard, GuardLogix, and Compact GuardLogix controllers in POINT I/O platforms, administering CIP Safety protocol extensions. Additionally, it can be integrated over Ethernet/IP and DeviceNet networks with specific adapters, offering versatile installation orientations in an open-style enclosure.
