Allen-Bradley 1734-RTB Terminal Base Assembly

Description:

The Allen-Bradley 1734-MB and 1734-RTB POINT I/O Terminal Base Assembly is used in distributed I/O systems to provide the mechanical mounting platform and field wiring interface for POINT I/O modules. Commonly installed in manufacturing systems, process control equipment, packaging machinery, material handling systems, and industrial automation applications utilizing Allen-Bradley POINT I/O architecture. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this assembly for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement of existing I/O mounting hardware to support reliable module installation and field device connectivity. The 1734-TB assembly consists of a 1734-MB mounting base and a 1734-RTB removable terminal block.

Applications:

The Allen-Bradley 1734-MB and 1734-RTB assembly is commonly used with Allen-Bradley POINT I/O digital, analog, and specialty modules in distributed control systems. The mounting base secures the I/O module to a DIN rail and provides POINTBus connectivity, while the removable terminal block simplifies field wiring and module replacement. These components are widely utilized in PLC-based automation systems where modular installation, simplified maintenance, and flexible I/O expansion are required.
