Description
The A-B 1734-AENT is an Allen-Bradley 1734 EtherNet/IP Adapter with Analog Input manufactured by Rockwell Automation. This module serves two key functions in an industrial automation system:
Product Name: Allen-Bradley 1734 EtherNet/IP Adapter with Analog Input (1734-AENT)
Product Description:
- EtherNet/IP Communication: It acts as an EtherNet/IP adapter, allowing analog input signals to be integrated into a ControlLogix or CompactLogix PAC over an EtherNet/IP network. EtherNet/IP is a common industrial communication protocol enabling communication between various devices on the network.
- Analog Input Conversion: This module converts real-world analog voltage or current signals from sensors or transmitters into digital data for processing by the PAC.
Product Parameters (Based on Public Resources):
- Communication Interface:
- Device Side: Analog voltage or current input
- Network Side: EtherNet/IP
- Data Type: Analog (voltage or current signals)
Product Specifications:
Detailed specifications can be found in the user manual, downloadable from the Rockwell Automation website or authorized distributors:
- Rockwell Automation Website: The product page for the 1734-AENT might not be readily available, but the user manual is likely accessible. Search for the model number on the Rockwell Automation website ([invalid URL removed]) under “Product Literature” or “Downloads”.
- User Manual: The user manual will contain detailed specifications like:
- Supported Analog Input Type: The specific voltage or current range that the module can handle (e.g., +/- 10V, 4-20mA).
- Number of Analog Input Channels: How many analog input channels are supported by the 1734-AENT.
- Resolution: The level of detail the module can distinguish in analog signals (e.g., 12-bit resolution).
- Conversion Speed: How fast the module can convert analog signals to digital data.
- EtherNet/IP Communication Settings: Configuration details for communication parameters on the EtherNet/IP network.
- Input Filtering: Any mechanisms to reduce electrical noise on the analog input signals.
- Calibration Functions: Methods for calibrating the analog input channels for accurate readings.
- LED Status Indicators: Description of LED lights that indicate operating status and potential faults.
- Power Requirements: Voltage and current needed for the module’s operation
- Operating Temperature Range: The acceptable ambient temperature range for safe operation
