The Allen-Bradley 1734-8CFGDLX, also cataloged as the 1734-8CFGDLX DC Configurable I/O Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for configurable digital signal acquisition and output execution within POINT I/O system networks.

Model Identification

The 1734-8CFGDLX is an 8-channel DC configurable I/O module designed for installation within the Allen-Bradley POINT I/O platform. The module supports configurable field-side channels for industrial digital signal processing through a DIN rail mounted distributed I/O architecture.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control Platform Integration

Allen-Bradley POINT I/O modules are designed for distributed PLC architectures where remote I/O density scaling and deterministic EtherNet/IP network communication are required. The 1734-8CFGDLX connects through the POINT I/O backplane assembly and exchanges process data with the controller through the configured network adapter.

The module configuration supports flexible channel assignment, allowing the I/O density of a POINT I/O station to be adjusted according to field device requirements. Firmware flash compatibility should be verified before installation to ensure alignment between the module revision and the controller environment.
