Description

The A-B 1734-232ASC is an Allen-Bradley 1734 Point I/O ASCII Interface Module manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It acts as a bridge between devices with a serial interface (like barcode readers) and a DeviceNet network used in industrial automation systems. Here’s a breakdown of the information you requested:

Product Name: Allen-Bradley 1734-232ASC Point I/O ASCII Interface Module

Product Description: This module enables communication between a DeviceNet network and devices that use ASCII serial communication for data transmission. It allows seamless integration of these serial devices into a ControlLogix or CompactLogix PAC system for data exchange and control purposes.

Product Parameters (Based on Public Resources):

  • Communication Interface:
    • Device Side: RS-232 serial port (commonly used for serial communication)
    • Network Side: DeviceNet (industrial automation network)
  • Data Protocol: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) – a common text-based encoding for character data

Product Specifications:

You can find detailed specifications in the user manual available on the Rockwell Automation website or from authorized distributors:
