Product Details
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1734-OB4 serves as a high-efficiency discrete output interface within the POINT I/O distributed system architecture. This module provides four sourcing-type outputs to drive 24V DC field devices such as solenoids, contactors, and indicator lights. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your automated lines benefit from factory-fresh electronic protection and the ultra-compact form factor characteristic of the POINT I/O series.

Engineering Advantages
-
Active Electronic Protection: The 1734-OB4 incorporates internal short-circuit and overload protection. This circuitry detects faults instantaneously and shuts down the affected channel to prevent hardware damage, eliminating the need for external fusing for each output.
-
Granular Status Diagnostics: Six dedicated LED indicators provide rapid troubleshooting. Four yellow LEDs track individual output states, while two bi-color LEDs monitor module health and network connectivity, allowing maintenance teams to isolate faults without connecting a programming terminal.
-
Space-Saving Vertical Orientation: The slim 12.5mm width maximizes DIN rail density. This design allows engineers to install high point counts in extremely narrow control cabinets, effectively solving the "space-premium" challenge in modern machine builds.
-
Hot-Swap Support (RIUP): The module supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) when used with the 1734-TB base. This allows for the replacement of modules without disrupting the communication or power of the remaining I/O on the rack, minimizing system downtime during maintenance.
FAQs
Q: What does "Sourcing Output" mean for my wiring configuration?
A: In a sourcing configuration, the 1734-OB4 supplies the +24V DC power to the load. You must connect the other side of your field device (solenoid, relay coil, etc.) to the DC common (ground).
Q: Is this 1734-OB4 unit a refurbished or surplus module?
A: No. We guarantee this unit is 100% Brand New and Original. It arrives in the original factory-sealed Allen-Bradley packaging. Using brand new modules is critical for output modules to ensure the internal power transistors have not been degraded by previous short-circuit events.
Q: Which terminal base should I use for this module?
A: You should mount the 1734-OB4 on a 1734-TB or 1734-TBS (spring clamp) wiring base assembly. The base remains permanently wired on the DIN rail, allowing the 1734-OB4 module to snap into place for easy installation and replacement.
Q: How does the electronic protection reset after a short circuit?
A: Once you remove the short circuit from the field wiring, you can reset the electronic protection by cycling the output point through the controller software or by cycling power to the module. This eliminates the manual labor associated with replacing blown physical fuses.

Tech & Buying Guide
Essential SCADA Features for Modern IoT-Enabled Industrial Automation
The convergence of traditional SCADA systems with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has redefined factory automation. Choosing a robust platform requires more than just standard monitoring capabilities. In this era of Industry 4.0, your supervisory system must bridge the gap between legacy control systems and enterprise-level data integration.
Selecting Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley PLCs for Small and Mid-Sized Applications
Rockwell Automation remains a cornerstone in global industrial automation. Their Allen-Bradley brand provides a comprehensive portfolio of control systems designed to meet diverse production requirements. Choosing the right programmable logic controller (PLC) is critical for system reliability and scalability. This guide analyzes the Micro and Compact Logix families to help you select the optimal solution for small and medium-scale projects.
Strategic Selection: Choosing the Right SCADA Software for Your PLC Project
In industrial automation, the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system acts as the bridge between raw machine data and actionable human intelligence. Selecting the incorrect software platform can lead to integration bottlenecks, scalability issues, and excessive long-term maintenance costs. As an automation consultant with 15 years of experience, I have guided many projects through the selection process. Below are the essential criteria for choosing a platform that ensures both performance and longevity.
