Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT Point I/O Ethernet Network Adaptor

The Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT POINT I/O Ethernet Network Adaptor delivers EtherNet/IP connectivity for distributed POINT I/O control systems, linking remote I/O modules to centralized PLC platforms. With a single RJ45 Ethernet port supporting 10/100 Mbps, it enables real-time communication across machine-mounted I/O stations, packaging lines, material handling systems, and process control panels in manufacturing environments. The module runs on 24 V DC power (10–28.8 V DC input) and draws 400 mA from the backplane at 5 V, mounts on a DIN rail, and operates over a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C, making it suitable for factory floors and panel racks. Capable of supporting up to 63 POINT I/O modules (configuration dependent), the 1734-AENT is commonly used to expand networks, upgrade systems, or replace failed communication modules in automotive, food and beverage, and water/wastewater applications that require reliable Ethernet communication for field devices, with common replacements including Allen-Bradley 1734-AENTR, 1794-AENT, and 1738-AENT.
