Allen Bradley 1734-MB Mounting Base for POINT I/O Systems

The Allen Bradley 1734-MB is a dedicated mounting base designed for reliable integration within the POINT I/O system. It provides the mechanical support, electrical connectivity, and alignment features needed for secure installation of POINT I/O modules.

Why It Helps
Its DIN rail design allows quick installation and expansion of POINT I/O nodes, while the built-in removable terminal block enables wiring changes or module replacement without disturbing field connections. The integrated keyswitch ensures the correct module type is installed, reducing the risk of configuration errors.

Key Highlights

• The removable terminal block lets users hot-swap modules without disconnecting wiring, improving uptime and maintenance efficiency.

• Interlocking side pieces ensure proper alignment and secure mechanical engagement between modules and adapters.

• The base distributes POINTBus backplane communication and field power through its 8-contact terminal block for streamlined system wiring.

• A keyed module interface prevents improper module insertion for added system protection.

Applications
Ideal for machine control panels, distributed I/O installations, and industrial automation systems requiring modular POINT I/O expansion. Its secure mounting and reliable connectivity help maintain system continuity and dependable long-term operation.
