Product Details
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1734-OW2 serves as a high-density, electromechanical relay output solution within the POINT I/O 1734 family. This module integrates two independent Form A (Normally Open) relays, allowing the control of various AC and DC loads in a distributed I/O architecture. We provide this component as 100% Brand New original factory stock. It bridges the gap between low-level PLC logic and high-power field devices like motor starters, solenoid valves, and indicators while minimizing panel space.

Engineering Advantages
-
Optimized for Mixed Loads: The 1734-OW2 handles both AC and DC voltages up to 240V AC or 125V DC. This flexibility eliminates the need for separate interposing relays when controlling diverse field equipment, significantly reducing system complexity.
-
Granular Scalability: The "POINT" architecture allows users to add precisely two relay points per module. This prevents the "over-provisioning" of I/O commonly seen with 8 or 16-point cards, lowering the overall cost-per-point in small-scale automation skids.
-
Robust Galvanic Isolation: 250V continuous isolation protects the sensitive backplane electronics from field-side voltage spikes and electrical noise. This barrier ensures that a catastrophic failure on the load side does not propagate to the PLC processor.
-
Rapid Maintenance Architecture: The module utilizes a "T-Base" terminal system (sold separately), which allows for "Removal and Insertion Under Power" (RIUP). Maintenance teams can swap a 1734-OW2 module without disturbing the field wiring or shutting down the entire I/O rack.
-
Extreme Cold Start Capability: Unlike standard commercial electronics, the 1734-OW2 operates down to -20°C. This makes it suitable for unheated enclosures in outdoor applications or cold storage facilities.
FAQs
-
Can I use the 1734-OW2 for high-speed switching applications?
No. The electromechanical design limits the switching frequency to 0.3 Hz (one operation every three seconds) at rated load. For high-speed PWM or rapid cycling, utilize a solid-state output module like the 1734-OB8.
-
Does this module require a specific terminal base?
Yes. You must install the 1734-OW2 on a 1734-TB or 1734-TBS terminal base. The base provides the mechanical connection to the DIN rail and the electrical interface to the POINTBus.
-
How do I verify the contact health?
The module includes a status LED for each output. If the LED illuminates but the field device does not activate, check the external fuse or the continuity of the electromechanical contact using a multimeter during a maintenance cycle.
-

Tech & Buying Guide
Choosing the Right Controller: PLC vs. Motion Controller in Industrial Automation
Selecting the optimal control architecture is a foundational decision in industrial automation. Engineers must frequently choose between a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a dedicated Motion Controller. While both systems manage machinery, their underlying design philosophies differ significantly, impacting performance, scalability, and system integration.
Mastering PLC Power Supply Architectures and Operating Voltages
Selecting the correct operating voltage is a critical step in designing reliable industrial automation systems. Whether you are working with a compact PLC or a large-scale DCS, your power architecture dictates the system's longevity. In this guide, we explore the standard voltage ranges and power distribution strategies required to maintain stable factory automation operations.
Optimizing Power Supply Sizing for Industrial Automation Systems
The power supply is the silent heartbeat of any industrial automation system. While engineers often prioritize processors and communication protocols, a stable power architecture remains the most critical factor for long-term reliability. In my 15 years of experience, I have found that neglecting power supply sizing often leads to ghost errors, intermittent field device failures, and costly production downtime.
