Allen-Bradley 1734-OB8E Point I/O 8 Channel Source Output Module
Description
The Allen-Bradley 1734-OB8E is an enhanced protected discrete source output module belonging to the 1734 Point I/O product series. It is fully compatible with all POINT I/O communication adapters and Allen-Bradley controller platforms, with optimized compatibility for the Logix product series including CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers. This module features 8 discrete source output channels, which are powered by control commands sent from the main controller via specific industrial protocols to drive electrical loads such as relays, indicator lights, and electromagnetic devices operating within 10-28.8 VDC. Key electrical specifications include a 1.0 A rated current per output channel, a 2.0 A total rated output current per module, and a surge current rating of 2 A for 10 ms, repeatable every 3 seconds. It requires 75 mA @ 5V DC of POINTBus current to operate. For visibility and diagnostics, the module is equipped with 8 yellow output status indicators, 8 red output fault indicators, and 2 green/red module/network status indicators. It requires pairing with 1734-TB or 1734-TBS terminal base assemblies for installation, and is designed for use in heavy industrial applications including cement production, oil and gas, mining, steel manufacturing, and marine systems.
