1734-IB4 Allen-Bradley POINT I/O Digital DC Sinking Input Module, 4 Channels, 24VDC
1734-IB4 is a Allen-Bradley POINT I/O digital DC sinking input module. It has 4 input channels. Moreover, it works with 12/24VDC voltage category. This module fits distributed I/O architecture. Use it with any POINT I/O communication adapter and POINTBlock I/O modules. In addition, power dissipation is 1 W. Input current is 5 mA. It mounts on DIN rail. As a result, it saves panel space. It suits PLC-based systems that need compact, low-density I/O.

Measurement range: field power 10–28.8VDC. Frequency response: input filter 0.5 ms hardware plus 0–63 ms selectable. Sensitivity: on-state current from 2 mA. Linearity: digital input, so no analog linearity spec applies. Resolution: 1-bit per channel. Temperature range: use within the cabinet rating of the POINT I/O system. Environmental tolerance: open-style enclosure, so install in a protected panel. Noise immunity: 50V continuous isolation supports stable signals in industrial panels.
Installation Guide
- Mount on zinc plate, yellow chromate steel DIN rail. Avoid aluminum or plastic rail. These may corrode or oxidize. Poor conductors can cause bad grounding.
- Fix the DIN rail to the panel about every 200 mm (7.8 in.). Use suitable anchors.
- Install the module with keyswitch position 1.
- Wire all cables to the Removable Terminal Block (RTB) at the bottom.
- Use a 1734 POINT I/O communication adapter. The adapter supplies the network interface and POINTBus power.
- Keep the panel closed and clean. The module has an open-style rating.
Commissioning and Maintenance
Check the module status LED. It shows normal operation, recoverable fault, unrecoverable fault, or self-test mode. Then check the network status LED. It shows online, critical link failure, or communication fault. Also check the input LEDs. They show if input 0, 1, 2, or 3 is active. Write the node address on the front panel writable area. Set the input filter time from 0 to 63 ms as needed. Keep spare RTBs on hand for fast service.
Compatibility
1734-IB4 works with any 1734 POINT I/O communication adapter. It also works with POINTBlock I/O modules. In addition, it supports 2-wire and 3-wire input signals. Local I/O data maps to the host controller over the selected network. Therefore, it fits PLC-based distributed I/O systems.
Diagnostics
Front LEDs give fast fault finding. The module status LED reports recoverable and unrecoverable faults. Meanwhile, the network status LED reports link and communication faults. The four input LEDs show channel state at a glance. As a result, this design cuts downtime and speeds up troubleshooting.
Typical Applications
- Distributed I/O panels for PLC systems
