Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT Point IO Ethernet Adapter

The Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT EtherNet/IP Adapter is a POINT I/O communication module that provides EtherNet/IP network connectivity for remote I/O assemblies, enabling POINT I/O modules to be integrated into Logix-based PLC platforms over standard Ethernet networks. It is commonly installed in machine-mounted I/O stations and distributed automation setups to support centralized monitoring and control and to reduce field wiring across automated production lines, packaging systems, and material handling equipment. Designed for DIN-rail mounting and powered from 24 V DC, the module offers a single RJ45 Ethernet port with 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation for reliable EtherNet/IP communication. It supports up to 63 POINT I/O modules (controller dependent) and provides field-side isolation to protect the controller from field-level transients, operating from 0 to 55°C. This adapter is widely applied in manufacturing facilities, conveyor systems, robotic cells, process skids, and assembly machinery where remote I/O is required, and is commonly used by maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators for remote I/O deployment, system expansion, and network upgrades. Common replacements include Allen-Bradley 1734-AENTR, 1734-EP24DC, and 1794-AENT.
