Allen-Bradley 1734-OB2EP Digital Output Module

Allen-Bradley 1734-OB2EP is a two-point digital output module for the POINT I/O backplane that provides 24V DC switches for two loads. The EP suffix identifies the Protected variant within the 1734 OB2 family. The module offers two independently addressable digital outputs on the Point I/O network, designed to energize or de-energize DC devices such as solenoids, relays, or indicator lights when commanded by the controller. Installed in a POINT I/O chassis, it shares backplane power and communications through the standard 1734 adapter and can be used in distributed control architectures to reduce wiring and panel footprint. The 1734-OB2EP is part of Rockwell Automation’s POINT I/O digital output lineup, and is compatible with standard Point I/O backplanes and controller configurations that support 24V DC digital outputs. As a Protected variant, it provides enhanced protection features to improve reliability in industrial environments, aligning with common automation use cases where simple, rugged DC switching is required in compact I/O footprints. Typical applications include machine automation, packaging lines, conveyors, and batch process control where quick on/off control of small DC actuators is needed with minimal wiring.
