Environment and Enclosure
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
EN/IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not
provide adequate protection to radio communication services in such environments.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment for indoor use. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific
environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to
prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure
must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread
of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA or be approved for the
application if nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only
by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain more
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
1770-4.1, for more installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and EN/IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by enclosures.
ATTENTION: Read this document and the documents listed in the Additional
Resources section about installation, configuration, and operation of this
equipment before you install, configure, operate, or maintain this product. Users
are required to familiarize themselves with installation and wiring instructions
in addition to requirements of all applicable codes, laws, and standards.
Installation, adjustments, putting into service, use, assembly, disassembly, and
maintenance are required to be carried out by suitably trained personnel in
accordance with applicable code of practice. In case of malfunction or damage,
no attempts at repair should be made. The module should be returned to the
manufacturer for repair. Do not dismantle the module.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Special Conditions for Safe Use
ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation.
Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
ATTENTION:
• This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc
plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The
use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or
intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately
every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately. Be sure to
ground the DIN rail properly. Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for more information.
• Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or
machine motion.
• Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the exposed
interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do
so could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.
• If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Electrical Safety Considerations
ATTENTION: This equipment is certified for use only within the surrounding
air temperature range of 0…55 °C (32…131 °F). The equipment must not be
used outside of this range.
At the end of its life, this equipment should be collected separately from any
unsorted municipal waste.

About the Module
This module is a 4-channel 24V DC input module with short circuit and
open-wire diagnostics.
See the figures to familiarize yourself with major parts of the module, noting that the
wiring base assembly is one of the following, with the module not being compatible with
1734-TB3, 1734-TB3S, 1734-TOP3, and 1734-TOP3S bases:

Before You Begin
The module supports remove and insert under power, auto-address, and auto-baud in
compliance with the POINTBus™ backplane. Each input is a sinking DC input with short
circuit and open-wire detection. The sensor source voltage is derived from the user
auxiliary power and used as I/O power.
Understand Short Circuit Detection
The sensor source voltage (SSV) for each input is protected against short circuits. For
currents above 200 mA, a fault signal is issued and the input LED indicator is illuminated
solid red. A thermally actuated smart-power device or PTC is used as the protection
means. On a per-input basis, the circuit and produced data automatically reset and SSV
energizes upon removal of the short circuit. An individual fault signal is issued for each
shorted SSV condition.
The shorted input LED indicator illuminates red to denote short circuit fault status.
See the section on interpreting LED indicators for related information.

Publication 1734-IN029B-EN-E - July 2018
When the SSV is loaded to the maximum rated current of 50 mA, a voltage drop of as
much as 2.5V DC can exist between the user auxiliary power and the SSV connection. For
example, for a supply of 10V DC to a sensor with power derived from the SSV, a supply of
12.5V DC is needed at the auxiliary power connection.
Understand Open-wire Detection
Sensor source voltage (SSV) current for each input is monitored. Monitoring is
accomplished in the SSV leg to accommodate the largest number of sensors possible. For
currents below 0.5 mA, a fault signal is issued and the LED indicator of the input blinks
red. On a per-input basis, the circuit and produced data automatically reset upon removal
of the open-wire condition. See the information about interpreting LED indicators for
related information.
By using a configuration tool, you can disable the open-wire diagnostics on an input-point
basis to keep unused input indicators from turning red and signaling a fault when an input
is not in use. Enabling or disabling input-point level open-wire diagnostics is implemented
via the EDS file of the module, GSD file, or Logix profile and its firmware.
You can also disable all the open-wire diagnostics, using a single entry via the software user
interface. The default configuration has all four input channels' open-wire
indication enabled.
If a sensor with a dry contact output is used, wire one side of the contact to the SSV
terminal for the corresponding input. Wire the other side of the contact to the input.
Additionally, place a shunt resistor in parallel with the contact, at the sensor, to cause
greater than 0.5 mA to be drawn through the SSV terminal at all times.

To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows:
1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units, for example,
adapter, power supply, or existing module.
2. Slide the mounting base down so that the interlocking side pieces engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail until the mounting base
snaps into place.

Read this for information if a removable terminal block (RTB) is supplied with your
wiring base assembly, noting that 1734-TOP and 1734-TOPS bases do not have an RTB.
To insert the RTB, proceed as follows. Note that if you pull up on the RTB handle to
remove the RTB, you can remove and replace the mounting base as necessary without
removing any of the wirings.
1. Insert the end opposite the handle into the base unit, noting that this end has a
curved section that engages with the wiring base.
2. Rotate the terminal block into the wiring base until it locks itself into place.
