Product Details
Product Overview
The 1734-IT2I provides high-precision temperature sensing within the Allen-Bradley POINT I/O family. This module accepts millivolt signals from thermocouples and converts them into digital temperature data for the controller. It features two individually isolated channels, making it the ideal choice for applications where ground loops or electrical noise threaten signal integrity. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and factory-original, ensuring your thermal loops maintain laboratory-grade accuracy in rugged industrial environments.

Engineering Advantages
-
Superior Noise Immunity: Individual channel-to-channel isolation prevents common-mode noise and ground loop currents from affecting temperature readings. This hardware architecture allows you to connect sensors located in different parts of a machine without worrying about voltage potential differences.
-
High-Resolution Precision: The 15-bit delta-sigma converter filters out high-frequency interference. It delivers granular data that allows the PID loop to maintain tighter temperature tolerances, directly improving product quality in plastic extrusion, heat treating, or food processing.
-
Predictive Maintenance with Open-Wire Detection: The module immediately identifies a broken thermocouple wire or a disconnected sensor. It sends a specific fault code to the controller, enabling the system to trigger a safe shutdown or alarm before process deviations occur.
-
Hot-Swappable Efficiency: Like other POINT I/O modules, the 1734-IT2I supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP). You can replace a module without powering down the entire I/O rack, significantly reducing downtime during routine maintenance.
FAQs
-
Does the 1734-IT2I require an external power supply?
No. The module draws its operating power directly from the POINTbus. However, you must calculate the total current draw (175 mA for this module) to ensure your 1734-PDN or adapter power supply provides sufficient capacity for the entire rack.
-
What type of terminal base should I use with this module?
The 1734-IT2I typically installs onto a 1734-TBCJC (Thermocouple Cold Junction Compensation) terminal base. This base contains the necessary thermistor to perform accurate cold-junction compensation at the termination point.
-
How does this module handle different thermocouple types (J, K, T, etc.)?
You configure the specific thermocouple type via the Studio 5000 Logix Designer software. The module internalizes the linearization curves for all standard thermocouple types, providing temperature data directly in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
-
Is the 1734-IT2I better than the non-isolated 1734-IT2?
Yes, specifically in environments with high EMI or different ground potentials. The "I" in 1734-IT2I stands for isolation. While the standard IT2 is sufficient for simple, localized loops, the IT2I prevents a failure or noise on one channel from migrating to the other.

Tech & Buying Guide
Why 24V DC Power Supplies Standardize Modern Industrial Automation
Industrial control cabinets worldwide rely on 24V DC as the universal power standard for field instrumentation, sensors, and controllers. Walk into any manufacturing plant, and you will find PLCs, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and smart actuators running on extra-low voltage DC. Standardizing on 24V DC enhances operational safety, lowers cabinet footprint, and maintains steady control performance across factory networks.
Essential Motion Control Commands: A Practical Guide for Engineers
Automation engineers often rely on precise position and speed control to drive modern factory machinery. Modern industrial systems, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS), depend heavily on standardized motion instructions. Mastering these commands ensures operational safety, protects mechanical components, and optimizes cycle times across production lines.
Mastering Modern Industrial Joystick Controls in Heavy Automation
Industrial joysticks play a pivotal role in human-machine interaction across heavy material handling and mobile hydraulics. These tactile controllers translate complex operator movements into precise electrical signals for PLCs, motion controllers, and DCS networks. Consequently, selecting and installing the right joystick architecture ensures operator safety, reduces fatigue, and optimizes equipment performance.
