The 1734-AENT is a high-performance communication interface designed for the Allen-Bradley POINT I/O system. It serves as a high-speed gateway between a centralized controller (such as ControlLogix or CompactLogix) and distributed I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network. By facilitating the real-time exchange of I/O data and diagnostic status, the 1734-AENT allows for highly scalable, distributed control architectures. Its compact DIN-rail mount design and single 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port make it an ideal choice for star or tree network topologies where localized wiring reduction and efficient cabinet space utilization are prioritized.
The 1734-AENT provides a robust backplane power supply and deterministic communication parameters for industrial automation.

Deterministic Messaging: The 1734-AENT supports both implicit (I/O) and explicit (messaging) connections, ensuring that time-critical process data receives priority across the EtherNet/IP fabric.
Flexible Addressing: Integrated thumbwheel switches allow for manual IP address configuration (192.168.1.xxx) without the need for specialized software, while BOOTP/DHCP protocols remain available for dynamic assignments.
POINTBus Management: The adapter effectively manages the internal communication and power distribution for the POINTBus, supporting up to 63 expansion modules provided the 1.0 A backplane limit is not exceeded.
Scalable Architecture: By utilizing the 1734-AENT, engineers can place I/O racks directly at the sensor level, significantly reducing copper wiring runs and simplifying field maintenance.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
