Allen-Bradley 1734-IE2C​ POINT I/O 2-Channel Analog Current Input Module 4-20mA

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1734-IE2C​ is a two-channel analog current input module belonging to the Rockwell Automation POINT I/O family (Bulletin 1734), engineered to convert field-side current signals into high-resolution digital values for Logix-based control systems. Designed as a distributed I/O component, the 1734-IE2C​ accepts either 4–20 mA or 0–20 mA signals on each of its two single-ended, non-isolated inputs, making it a natural fit for pressure transmitters, flow meters, level sensors and other two-wire or four-wire instrumentation commonly deployed across process and factory automation.What distinguishes the Allen-Bradley 1734-IE2C​ is its combination of measurement precision and panel efficiency. A Delta-Sigma converter delivers 16-bit resolution across a 0…21 mA span — equivalent to roughly 0.32 µA per count — with absolute accuracy of ±0.1% of full scale at 25 °C and a temperature drift of only 30 ppm/°C. The module arrives factory calibrated, so no field calibration routine is required before commissioning. Engineers can also select a notch filter at 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 250 Hz or 500 Hz to reject power-line interference, trading response speed for noise immunity depending on the process dynamics.From a system integration standpoint, the 1734-IE2C​ occupies just 12 mm of DIN rail width and draws only 75 mA from the POINTBus backplane, which allows dense I/O assemblies inside space-constrained control cabinets. It works with any POINT I/O communication adapter over EtherNet/IP, ControlNet or DeviceNet, and it is configured directly inside Studio 5000 Logix Designer through Add-On Profiles. Features such as Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) and Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) minimize downtime, while per-channel status LEDs and electronic alarms give maintenance personnel immediate diagnostic visibility.

Main Features and Advantages

Measurement precision with flexible signal handling: the 1734-IE2C​ resolves current input to 16 bits across a 0…21 mA span, which translates to roughly 0.32 µA per count — fine enough to detect small process deviations that coarser 12-bit modules simply cannot see. Each channel is independently configurable for 4–20 mA or 0–20 mA operation, so a single module can serve a mix of modern smart transmitters and legacy zero-based devices. The factory calibration eliminates the time-consuming field calibration step, and the 30 ppm/°C drift coefficient means readings stay trustworthy as cabinet temperature rises during summer production peaks.Noise rejection tuned to your environment: one of the most practical strengths of the 1734-IE2C​ is its selectable notch filter. Plants running on 50 Hz mains can switch away from the 60 Hz default and immediately suppress hum picked up along long cable runs, while high-speed packaging or test-stand applications can move to 250 Hz or 500 Hz to cut module update time from 100 ms down to 24 ms or 12 ms. This configurability lets one catalog number serve both slow process loops and fast machine sequences.Diagnostic depth at the channel level: the 1734-IE2C​ reports far more than a raw number. Every channel carries a status byte exposing Fault, Calibration, Low Alarm, High Alarm, Low-Low Alarm, High-High Alarm, Underrange and Overrange conditions, so a drifting transmitter or a broken loop can be caught before it becomes a quality incident. Alarm limits default to 3113 / 16547 / 2867 / 16793 counts and can be latched to capture transient events that would otherwise disappear between scans. Front-panel LEDs for module status, network status and each input give technicians instant visual confirmation during troubleshooting.Engineered for uptime and panel density: at only 12 mm wide, the Allen-Bradley 1734-IE2C​ lets system builders pack many analog points into a single cabinet segment without thermal derating, whether mounted horizontally or vertically. RIUP allows the module to be swapped while the backplane stays energized, and ADR automatically configures a replacement module from the controller, which turns a hardware failure into a minutes-long event rather than a shift-long outage.
