Overview Separate communication interface adapters are available for different

networks. Install adapters into the POINTBus backplane to allow POINT I/O
modules to communicate with a controller.
NetLinx Open Network NetLinx Open Network Architecture is the Rockwell Automation
strategy of using open networking technology for seamless, top-floor
Architecture to shop-floor integration. The NetLinx-based networks DeviceNet,
ControlNet, and EtherNet/IP all use the Common Industrial Protocol
(CIP), so they speak a common language and share a universal set of
communication services. NetLinx architecture, part of the Integrated
Architecture platform, seamlessly integrates all the components in an
automation system from a few devices on one network to multiple
devices on multiple networks including access to the Internet
helping you to improve flexibility, reduce installation costs, and
increase productivity.
The EtherNet/IP network is an open industrial-networking

standard that supports implicit and explicit messaging and uses
commercial, off-the-shelf Ethernet equipment and physical
media.
The ControlNet network allows intelligent, high-speed control

devices to share the information required for supervisory
control, work-cell coordination, operator interface, remote
device configuration, programming, and troubleshooting.

EtherNet I/P Network The Ethernet Industrial (EtherNet/IP) network protocol is an open
industrial-networking standard that supports both real-time I/O
messaging and message exchange. It emerged due to the high
demand for using the Ethernet network for control applications. The
EtherNet/IP network uses off-the-shelf Ethernet communication chips
and physical media. The EtherNet/IP network provides excellent drive
and I/O control performance along with HMI information processing
and many commercial technologies.
EtherNet/IP Network Considerations
Adapter Considerations
1734-AENT A total of 63 POINT I/O modules can be assembled on a single
1734-AENTR EtherNet/IP node.
Expansion power supplies may be used to provide additional POINTBus

backplane current.
Refer to the User Manual to determine the ratings for direct and rack
connections allowed.
The 1734-AENT/1734-AENTR adapter supports direct- and rack-optimized

connections. A direct connection is a real-time data transfer link
between the controller and whatever module occupies the slot that
the configuration data references. Direct-connection messaging occurs
at a cyclic rate specified by the requested packet interval (RPI) during
configuration. A rack-optimized connection is a grouping of data from
more than one I/O module into a single block of data sent over a
single connection at the same data rate. Rack-optimized connections
reduce the total number of connections needed to transfer data when
using many I/O modules in a system.
Assume a system contains 8 digital I/O modules interfaced to a

1734-AENT/1734-AENTR adapter. If you used direct connections to transfer
data to each of these modules, you need 8 connections one to each
of the 8 I/O modules. If you use a rack-optimized connection to transfer the

data, you need only a single connection the connection to the

1734-AENT/1734-AENTR adapter.

ControlNet Network The ControlNet network is an open, state-of-the-art control network

that meets the demands of real-time, high-throughput applications.
The ControlNet network uses the proven Common Industrial Protocol
(CIP) to combine the functionality of an I/O network and a
peer-to-peer network providing high-speed performance for both
functions. The ControlNet network gives you deterministic, repeatable

transfers of all mission-critical control data in addition to supporting

transfers of non-time-critical data.

backplane current.
Up to 25 direct connections and 5 rack connections are allowed.
The 1734-ACNR ControlNet adapter provides high-speed transfer of time

critical data between controllers and I/O devices. It manages data transfers
between controllers on the ControlNet network and POINT I/O modules
plugged into the POINTBus backplane. The ControlNet network allows the
exchange of messages between ControlNet products compliant with the
ControlNet International specification. The 1734-ACNR adapter features
include a variety of control system solutions, local communication network
access through the network access port (NAP), and redundant media. It
requires Series C POINT I/O modules or later.
The 1734-ACNR adapter requires a typical 24V DC power supply with a

maximum of 10.2 W of power. It provides a maximum backplane current of
1.0 A at 5V DC. Backplane current can be extended beyond 1.0 A with a
1734-EP24DC backplane extension power supply. The 1734-EP24DC can
supply up to an additional 1.3 A of backplane current. Multiple 1734-EP24DC
power supplies can be used to reach the maximum limit of 63 POINT I/O
modules if 25 or fewer of these modules are analog or specialty modules.
The adapter supports 25 direct and 5 rack I/O connections to the

POINT I/O modules. From a single 1734-ACNR adapter, multiple controllers
establish I/O connections, up to a maximum of 5 rack I/O connections per
adapter. Direct connections must be used with analog and specialty modules.
Multiple rack connections permit multiple controllers to connect to I/O over a
single 1734-ACNR adapter. The number of connections that can be supported
on a network depends on the ControlNet parameters (NUT, RPI, and API)
and the POINT I/O configuration by itself (number and types of I/O
modules).
The following example shows a single POINT I/O ControlNet adapter with 5
connections and 8 I/O modules. The POINT I/O modules are monitored by
the 5 controllers on the ControlNet network. The POINT I/O modules in:
slots 1, 3, and 5 are controlled by the first controller.

slots 2 and 4 by the second controller.
slot 6 by the third controller.
slot 7 by the fourth controller.

slot 8 by the fifth controller.

Memory Requirements
The 1734-ACNR adapter has 586 bytes of memory available for

scheduled transmit data. When developing an application, the amount
of data used by an individual connection must also include a small
amount of overhead (I/O bytes per connection).
The following formula tracks the amount of available scheduled

transmit data.
Available Memory = 586 - [(Number of connections * 10) + Sum of all

connection sizes]
In the following example, the system uses a 1734-ACNR adapter with

five 1734-232ASC modules.
Application Data Size Memory Required

1734-232ASC - 4 96 106
1734-232ASC - 5 92 102
Total Bytes Used 472 522
In this example, a sixth module could be added if it used less than 54 bytes of application
data. There are 64 bytes of memory left. 64 = 586 - [(5 * 10) +472]

DeviceNet Network The DeviceNet network is an open low-level network that provides
connections between simple industrial devices (such as sensors and
actuators) and higher-level devices (such as PLC controllers and
computers). The DeviceNet network uses the proven Common
Industrial Protocol (CIP) to provide the control, configure, and data
collection capabilities for industrial devices. The POINT I/O family offers
four interfaces for connecting to the DeviceNet network.
DeviceNet Network Considerations
Adapter Consideration
1734-ADN All POINT I/O modules count as a single node on the main network. A total of 63 POINT I/O modules can be
assembled on a single DeviceNet node.
Behaves as a slave device on the main network and a master on the POINTBus backplane.
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software is needed for configuration of the 1734-ADN adapter on the main
network and the POINTBus backplane
Expansion power supplies may be used to provide additional POINTBus backplane current.

DeviceNet Network Considerations
Adapter Consideration
1734-ADNX Acts like a 1734-ADN adapter, with additional capabilities.
All POINT I/O modules, and some third-party field devices, count as a single node on the main network.
Has a second, Phoenix-style connector that extends the subnet off the module, so that any
DeviceNet-capable device could be connected to a subnet and scanned by the 1734-ADNX adapter.
Network on the second connector is electrically isolated from the main network and can be used to extend
the total DeviceNet trunk line distance.(1)
Node numbers of the devices on the POINTBus backplane and subnet would not count against the 63 slave
nodes allowed on the main network.
Devices on the subnet and the main network need to be connected at different communication rates or use
different sampling methods (for example, change-of-state or polled).
Data from these devices would be included in the data being sent to/from the 1734-ADNX adapter on the
main network.
POINT I/O expansion power supplies are permitted and may be required to add more modules.
1734D POINTBlock Each POINT I/O module on the main network counts as a separate node.
Series Appears to the main network as a 1734-PDN communication interface with a single, 16-point module
attached.
Any of the I/O modules may be attached in the same manner they are added to a 1734-PDN communication
interface.
Total POINTBus backplane current of I/O modules cannot exceed 1.0 A.
Expansion power supplies may not be used.
1734-PDN Each POINT I/O module on the main network counts as a separate node.
Electrically connects the main network to the I/O modules, which are connected on the POINTBus
backplane.
No configuration to the 1734-PDN communication interface necessary since it is transparent to the main
network.
Total POINTBus backplane current of I/O modules cannot exceed 1.3 A.
Expansion power supplies may not be used.

For example: with thick round media at 125 Kbps, you could run a maximum of 500 m (1640 ft) to a 1734-ADNX adapter on the main network. You could then wire an
additional 500 m (1640 ft) of cable on the subnet connector and double the distance of the network. Remember that this subnet needs terminating resistors and a
24V DC power connection, the same as any other DeviceNet network.
It is important that the total amount of data coming from the subnet
does not exceed the data capability of either the 1734-ADN or
1734-ADNX adapter.
250 bytes (248 data + 2 bytes command info) for output data
(used as either COS, cyclic, or poll)
250 bytes (248 data + 2 bytes status info) for polled input data
250 bytes (248 data + 2 bytes status info) for COS/cyclic input
data
8 bytes (6 data + 2 status info) for strobe input data
The data coming through the 1734 adapter combined with the other
data from the main network cannot exceed the data capability of the

main network master scanner. If this occurs, you will need multiple
master scanners on the main network and the I/O modules on the
subnet will need to be split between multiple 1734-ADN or
1734-ADNX adapters.
With the 1734-PDN communication interface, the multiple masters on

the main network will be able to communicate to separate groups of
modules on its subnet through the same 1734-PDN communication
interface, so no additional adapter would be necessary.

The DeviceNet interface presents the integrated I/O as a single

DeviceNet node while expansion I/O modules will appear as separate
nodes.
The 1734D series includes a nonisolated DeviceNet communication

interface. The 24V DC from the DeviceNet connection powers a
nonisolated DC/DC converter that generates +5V DC. This +5V DC
powers the 1734D series electronics and connects to the POINTBus port to
power the expansion I/O electronics.

Select POINT I/O Modules The POINT I/O family provides a wide range of input and output modules to
span many applications, from high-speed digital to process control. POINT
I/O modules support producer/consumer technology, which allows input
information and output status to be shared among multiple Logix controllers.

22 Select POINT I/O Modules
Each POINT I/O module mounts adjacent to the network adapter or another
I/O module and removable terminal block (RTB) to connect all field-side
wiring. The RTBs are part of the terminal base assembly. They are not
included with the I/O modules and must be ordered separately.
The POINT family of I/O modules includes:
1734 digital I/O modules.

1734 analog I/O modules.
1734 specialty I/O modules.
1734 wiring systems.
1734 network communication adapters.
1734 POINT Guard I/O modules.
Digital I/O Modules Choose digital I/O modules when you need:
a wide variety of voltage interface capabilities

isolated and non-isolated module types
point-level output fault states
choice of direct-connect or rack-optimized communications
field-side diagnostics (on select modules)
Most output modules have built-in surge suppression to reduce the

effects of high-voltage transients. However, we recommend that you
use an additional suppression device if an output is being used to
control inductive devices, such as:
relays
motor starters
solenoids
motors
Additional suppression is especially important if your inductive device

is in series with or parallel to hard contacts, such as push buttons or
selector switches.

Analog and Temperature I/O The POINT I/O analog and temperature I/O modules support: on-board,
channel-level data alarming (four set-points per channel); scaling to
Modules engineering units; channel-level diagnostics (electronic bits and LED
indicators); and integer format.
Analog and temperature input modules support the following configurable

parameters and diagnostics:
open-wire detection with LED and electronic reporting

four-alarm and annunciation set-points: low alarm; high alarm; low/low
alarm; high/high alarm calibration mode detection and electronic
reporting
under-range detection and electronic reporting
over-range detection and electronic reporting
channel signal range and on-board scaling (scaling to any 16-bit integer
under-/over-range alarms)
filter type (notch for A/D, or first-order low-pass digital filter)
temperature scale (Celcius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, or custom)
channel update rate (step response plus 010,000 ms filter setting)
Choose analog or temperature I/O modules when you need:
On-board scaling eliminates the need to scale the data in the controller,
preserving controller processing time and power for more important
tasks, such as I/O control, communications, or other user-driven
functions.
Over- and under-range detections and indications eliminate the need to
test values in the control program, saving valuable processing power of
the controller.
Ability to individually configure each channel of the output module to
hold its last value or assume a user-defined value on a fault condition.
Ability to individually enable and disable channels improves module
performance.
Selectable input filters lets you select from several different filter
frequencies for each channel that best meets the performance needs of
your application based on environmental limitations
Selectable response to broken input sensor feature provides feedback to
the controller that a field device is not connected or operating properly.
This lets you specify corrective action based on the bit or channel
condition.
The modules share a high accuracy rating of 0.1% of full-scale
accuracy at 25 C (77 F).

Temperature Input Modules
POINT I/O temperature modules can detect and communicate these

electronic conditions:
Over-range alarm The channel over-range alarm is set if the input is greater than
the maximum temperature (thermocouple or RTD range
dependent), millivolt (+75V) or resistance (600 ) range value,
or above the maximum range of the thermocouple or RTD.
The cold-junction compensator has its own over-range alarm. If
the CJC temperature goes above 70 C (158 F), the over-range
alarm is set.
Under-range alarm The channel under-range alarm is set if the input is less than
the minimum temperature (thermocouple or RTD range
dependent), millivolt (-75 mV) or resistance (10 ) range value,
or below the minimum range of the thermocouple or RTD.
The cold-junction compensator has its own under-range alarm.
If the CJC temperature goes below 0 C (32 F), the
under-range alarm is set.
Level alarm When the channel input goes below a low alarm or above a
(low-low, low, high, high alarm, a bit is set in the data table. All alarm status bits
high-high) can be read individually or by reading the channel status byte
(bits 25 for channel 0; bits 1013 for channel 1).
Each channel alarm can be configured individually.
Open-wire alarm The module has the ability to check for a broken or detached
wire. In any mode, if a broken/detached lead is detected, the
data value is forced to maximum and the over-range alarm is
set. Once the alarm is issued, it remains active as long as the
input signal is faulted.
Cold-junction Compensation (1734-IT2I only)
When using thermocouples, cold-junction compensation is required at the

termination of the thermocouple wire. Cold-junction can be accomplished in
three ways:
Enter an estimated temperature

Use a 1734-TBCJC mounting base (recommended)
Use external cold-junction compensators
Entering an estimated temperature is the least accurate way for cold-junction

compensation. Using external compensators is the most expensive way, while
using the 1734-TBCJC provides the easiest and most accurate method.
An open cold-junction compensator causes the input point to the maximum

temperature value for the selected input type. This causes an alarm to be set.
Once the alarm is issued, it remains active as long as the input signal is faulted
(above maximum).

Set the cold-junction enable bit on the 1734-IT2I module to enable or disable
the cold-junction linearization. If enabled, the proper cold-junction
compensation value is applied to the selected thermocouple. If disabled, the
data (CJ temperature) is still available but is not applied to the input. If the
1734-TBCJC is not available, this parameter should be set to disabled. A
cold-junction value can be added using the cold-junction offset parameter.
Noise Filtering (1734-IR2)
You can select the type and amount of noise filtering on each individual
channel.
Notch filter of analog to digital converter

First-order, low-pass digital filter
Choose the filter that provides you with the update and step response that
most closely matches your system requirements.

Counter Modules The POINT I/O counter modules serve as signal conditioners and function
blocks (that is, counters) between the customer process signals on the
mounting base, and the POINTBus backplane containing the command
information. The three main functional blocks are the customer digital I/O
interface, the counter ASIC, and the microprocessor.
The counter modules accept feedback from:
Encoders (either single-ended or differential)

Pulse generators
Mechanical limit switches
Frequencies up to 1 MHz
A filter is available with four settings: 50 Hz, 500 Hz, 5 kHz, 50 kHz. The filter
can be turned off to achieve the fastest counting rate.
The modules return the count or frequency in the form of a 24-bit binary
number (016,777,215) expressed in a 32-bit word. Each counter has a
user-selectable preset and rollover value associated with it.
The counter modules operate in the following modes.
Counter mode read incoming single-phase pulses, return a binary

count.
Encoder mode read incoming two-phase quadrature pulses, return a
binary count.
Period/rate mode count internal clocks during the on period, return
a frequency (1734-VHSC24 and 1734-VHSC5 outputs are updated only
at the end of the period).
Continuous/rate mode count internal clocks during the on period,
return a frequency (1734-VHSC24 and 1734-VHSC5 outputs are
updated continuously during this period).
Rate measurement mode read pulses during the sample period,
return a frequency.
Pulse width modulation (PWM) mode generate a pulse width
modulated signal (1734-VHSC24 and 1734-VHSC5 only).
Pulse generator mode generates a pulse of defined width, returns
width and quantity of trigger (1734-VHSC24 and 1734-VHSC5 only).
The operation of the counter and encoder modes is nearly identical. The
difference between the two modes is in the type of feedback (one-phase versus
two-phase) for the count direction (up or down). In encoder mode, a transition
is expected on B for counting to proceed in a direction. In counter mode, the

B input may be left at a static level. All operating modes are selected by writing
appropriate configuration data to the module.

The POINT I/O system follows a No Tools design approach. The I/O
mounting base, removable terminal block (RTB), and I/O module may
be assembled as a system without tools.
Terminal Base Assembly The POINT I/O mounting base mounts directly on the DIN-rail, either
vertically or horizontally, and forms the interconnect for the
POINTBus backplane communication and field power-bus
distribution. The mechanical keying of the mounting base prevents
incorrect module placement. The I/O mounting base and removable
terminal block are sold together (pre-assembled) as a single unit
called a Terminal Base Assembly.
The pins on the 1734-TB terminal base assembly are independent of

each other. The connections for the 1734-TB and 1734-TB3 are
determined by the 1734 module being used.

Each assembly includes a removable terminal block (RTB) provides 8

or 12 separate terminal locations for field wiring. The RTB also
provides vertical access to wire and screw terminations. A separate
terminal point is provided for each wire, including a shield ground
terminal point for 2-point analog modules.
POINT I/O Removable Terminal Base Assembly
45103
Each terminal base assembly includes a base (A) that mounts onto the DIN-rail and a removable
terminal block (B) for I/O wiring.
Once the RTB is wired properly, you never need to rewire

terminations. The RTB separates independently of the I/O mounting
base and I/O module to facilitate rapid installation and commissioning
of the system. Each terminal is numbered on the bottom of the RTB to
simplify troubleshooting during commissioning or maintenance cycles.
Spare or replacement RTBs can be ordered separate from the terminal
base assembly.

Expansion Power Supplies The 1734-EP24DC or 1734-EPAC expansion power supplies provides
two services:
Breaks the field power distribution at the left of the power

supply (1734-EP24DC or 1734-EPAC) from the field power
distribution to the right of the power supply (1734-EP24DC or
1734-EPAC)
Adds an additional 1.3 A of current to the POINTBus for I/O
modules to the right of the power supply (1734-EP24DC or
1734-EPAC)
The expansion power unit maintains the integrity of the POINT I/O
backplane by not interrupting the POINTBus data.
The 1734-EP24DC expansion power unit passes 24V DC field power

on the POINTBus backplane to the I/O modules to the right of it. The
1734-EPAC expansion power unit passes 120/240V AC field power on
the POINTBus backplane to the I/O modules to the right of it. These
units extend the backplane bus power and creates a new field voltage
partition segment for driving field devices for up to 17 I/O modules.
The expansion power units separate field power from I/O modules to
the left of the unit, effectively providing functional and logical
partitioning for:
separating field power between input and output modules.

Select a Power Supply Unit 53
1734-ADN adapter, you can use a 1734-EP24DC or 1734-EPAC

For example, if you have a 36 module system with a 1734-ADN adapter, you
have to add at least two or more 1734-EP24DC or 1734-EPAC expansion
power units to provide more POINTBus current for modules to the right of

Field Power Distributor The 1734-FPD breaks the field power distribution at the left of the
1734-FPD from the field power distribution to the right of the
1734-FPD.
You can use the 1734-FPD field power distributor with a broad range
of voltage inputs including 5125V DC and 24240V AC applications and
I/O modules.
Field-side voltage distribution module

No backplane bus power extension (12 modules maximum)
when using the 1734-PDN communication interface or 1734D
POINTBlock I/O modules as they don't add power to the
POINTBus backplane
The 1734-FPD field power distributor passes through all POINT I/O
backplane signals, but does not provide additional POINTBus
backplane power. The field power distributor gives you the ability to
change the field power distribution source for I/O modules to the
right of the 1734-FPD field power distributor. This facilitates logical or
functional partitioning of low-channel count, high I/O-mix
applications using any of the communication adapters.

Use the 1734-FPD field power distributor to isolate field power

segments.

Mounting Requirements
Step 5 - Select:
appropriate number of DIN rails based on the number of modules

and the physical requirements
Power Supply Distance Rating ................................................... page 59

Mount the POINT I/O System................................................. page 60
The producer/consumer model multicasts messages. This means that multiple

nodes can consume the same data at the same time from a single device.
Where you place POINT I/O modules in the control system determines how
the modules exchange data.
For a Rockwell Automation controller to control 1734 I/O, the I/O must be
on one of the following:
the same network as the controller.

a ControlNet network that is local to that controller.
an EtherNet/IP network that is local to that controller.
Power Supply Distance Place modules to the right of the power supply. Each 1734 I/O module can be
placed in any of the slots right of the power supply until the usable backplane
Rating current of that supply has been exhausted. An adapter provides 1000 mA
current to the POINTBus backplane. The 1734-EP24DC or 1734-EPAC
Expansion power supply provides up to 1300 mA. I/O modules require from
75 mA (typical for the digital and analog I/O modules) up to 220 mA or more.

Mount the POINT I/O Mount the POINT I/O system on a DIN rail in the horizontal or vertical
orientation. Use steel, 35 x 75.5 mm DIN rails (cat. no. 199-DR1; 46277-3; EN
System 50022). The DIN rails for all POINT I/O system components must be
mounted on a common, conductive surface to ensure proper electro-magnetic
interference (EMI) performance. Secure DIN rail approximately every 200
mm (7.87 in).
