Component Details
The Allen Bradley Input Module (1734-IE2C) is a versatile analog sensor interface designed for industrial applications. It accepts analog signals in the range of 4-20mA, which are commonly used for process monitoring and control. The module is compatible with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) based on the Allen Bradley platform, making it an ideal solution for automation projects.
One of the key features of the 1734-IE2C module is its support for both current and voltage inputs. This allows it to apply to a wide range of applications requiring either current or voltage inputs, including dynamometers, load cells, pressure transducers, temperature transmitters, and others. The module can handle input scales from 1mA to 20mA and offers accuracy up to ±0.1%.
The module also supports various signal conditioning functions, such as input losses, input amplification, input filtering, and input grounding. This helps to improve signal quality and ensure reliable data acquisition. In addition, it provides features for conversation, buffering, and isolation of analog signals, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Another important feature of the 1734-IE2C module is its ability to perform analog calculations using built-in post-input mapping (PIM) functions. This allows signals from multiple sensors to be processed and displayed as a single output, greatly simplifying the wiring and programming requirements for complex systems.
The module comes in a compact and rugged DIN-rail mountable format, enabling easy integration into a variety of industrial automation systems. It is also designed for easy configuration and setup using one of the available Allen Bradley programming tools, such as the PanelBuilder Encompass Edition, RSLogix 500, or RSLogix 5000 software.
