The Allen-Bradley 1734-4IOL is a 4-channel IO-Link master module designed for POINT I/O systems. It can be configured for IO-Link master communication or as a standard digital I/O module. This document provides essential instructions for installation, wiring, and configuration.
Installation
Mounting Base: Position the mounting base vertically above existing units. Slide it down to engage the interlocking side pieces with the adjacent module or adapter. Press firmly to seat it on the DIN rail. Ensure the orange DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal position.
Module: Before installing the module, use a bladed screwdriver to rotate the keyswitch on the mounting base until the number required for the module type aligns with the notch. Verify the DIN rail locking screw is horizontal, then insert the module straight down into the base until it locks.
Removable Terminal Block (RTB): Insert the end opposite the handle into the base unit, rotate the terminal block into the wiring base until it locks, and snap the RTB handle into place.
Wiring
The module supports three wiring modes:
- IO-Link Mode: Connects IO-Link devices (actuators, sensors).
- Standard Digital Input Mode: Supports 2-wire or 3-wire inputs.
- Standard Digital Output Mode: Supports 2-wire outputs.
Power is supplied through the internal 24V DC power bus. Ensure power is removed before connecting or disconnecting the RTB to prevent electrical arcs, especially in hazardous locations.
Status Indicators
The module features LEDs for Module Status, Network Status, Channel Status, and IO-Link Status. A solid green Module Status indicates normal operation, while flashing red indicates a recoverable fault and solid red indicates an unrecoverable fault. Network status LEDs indicate connection state; flashing red/green indicates a communication faulted device.
Technical Specifications
- Field Power Bus Supply: 24V DC (19.2V to 28.8V DC).
- Communication Rate (IO-Link): 4.8 kB, 38.4 kB, 230.4 kB.
- Isolation Voltage: 50V (continuous), basic insulation.
- Input Filter: Independently settable in 1 ms intervals (0...65 ms).
- Operating Temperature: -20 to +55 °C (-4 to +131 °F).
