Allen Bradley 1734-AENTR

Hanyite recommends the Allen Bradley 1734-AENTR, a dual-Ethernet POINT I/O communication adapter. It's primarily used to connect POINT I/O racks to central controllers in EtherNet/IP networks, supporting data exchange between field devices (such as sensors and actuators) and controllers in industrial automation systems. This module, part of the 1734 series, offers flexible network topology compatibility and efficient data transmission, making it widely used in manufacturing automation.

1734-AENTR Core Functions and Technical Features

Network Communication Capabilities

Protocols and Speeds: Supports TCP/UDP/IP protocols, with transmission rates of 10/100 Mbps, operating in half-duplex or full-duplex modes, and auto-negotiation. This provides greater flexibility and efficiency.

Topology Support: Compatible with ring, star, tree, and daisy-chain (linear) network topologies, it features two embedded switch ports (RJ-45 connectors) and supports Category 5 or Category 6 twisted-pair cabling. This expands application scenarios and significantly improves production efficiency. Multi-Controller Connection: Communicates with multiple scanner modules or controllers simultaneously, eliminating the need for network scheduling and routing tables. This makes it easier and more efficient to use, creating greater value for your business.

Power Supply and Installation

Power Requirements: Requires an external 24 VDC power supply, significantly improving safety.

Mounting Method: Mounts vertically on a DIN rail, located on the far left side of the POINT I/O system, serving as the network connection interface to the main controller. This provides enhanced technical support, allowing operators to contact Hanyite at any time with any questions.

1734-AENTR IP Address Configuration

Static IP: This is the default recommended configuration. The address remains unchanged after a power outage, ensuring stable communication. It offers a higher level of security.

Dynamic IP: Suitable for specific scenarios, but address changes may cause communication errors, requiring technicians to exercise caution during operation.
