Allen-Bradley 1734-FPD Field Power Distributor

Allen-Bradley 1734-FPD Field Power Distributor is a POINT I/O field distributor that breaks and reroutes field power along a POINT I/O backplane, enabling independent power segments for adjacent I/O sections. It accepts either 12/24 V DC or 120/240 V AC power input and provides a field power supply current rating of up to 10 A, helping support multiple I/O modules without overloading the source. The module delivers pass-through field power to the modules on its right while isolating the left-hand field power domain, offering continuous isolation up to 250 V and helping improve fault containment and noise immunity in distributed I/O installations. By installing the 1734-FPD, engineers can configure segmented power rails within a single POINT I/O chassis, simplifying wiring, reducing cross-talk, and preserving backplane power for critical sections. Typical applications include dividing a large POINT I/O network into separate, shielded banks for digital inputs and outputs, facilitating safer and more maintainable power distribution across zones within an automation cabinet.
