Allen Bradley 1734-RTB I/O Removable Terminal Block

The Allen-Bradley 1734-RTB, also cataloged as the 1734-RTB Terminal Block, operates as a dedicated hardware component for field wiring termination within POINT I/O 1734 platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Signal Termination and I/O Density Scaling

• The Allen-Bradley 1734-RTB provides direct physical connection interfaces for field wiring connected to POINT I/O modules operating across EtherNet/IP deterministic networks.
• The 8-terminal layout allows modular I/O density scaling while isolating backplane logic connections from field-side electrical noise.
• Secure mechanical latching ensures firm electrical contact with the backplane base, preserving physical signal continuity across high-vibration industrial drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What wire gauge range and torque specification are required for connections on the 1734-RTB?

A: The screw clamp terminals accept solid or stranded conductors ranging from 14 to 22 AWG, requiring a tightening torque of 0.6 N m.

Q: Can the 1734-RTB accommodate both DC and AC field voltage levels?

A: Yes, the removable terminal block is rated for 24 VDC operational field power as well as 120/240 VAC field power systems with a maximum field current of 10 A.

Field Installation Guidelines

Mount the terminal base assembly onto a grounded 35 mm DIN rail before inserting the removable terminal block. Strip conductor insulation to the recommended length before inserting wires into the screw clamp terminals, ensuring no stray wire strands extend beyond the housing boundaries. Tighten terminal screws strictly to 0.6 N m to establish low-resistance contact without stripping threads. Route field signal wires in separate conduit paths away from high-voltage motor feeds to prevent inductive coupling on sensor line terminations.
