Before You Begin

The POINT I/O™ sink input modules are available in two-input, four-input, and
eight-input options. They install on mounting bases that mount on a DIN rail. All wiring
is made to a Removable Terminal Block (RTB) mounted on the mounting base.
Note that this series D product can be used with the following:
• DeviceNet® and PROFIBUS adapters
• ControlNet® and EtherNet/IP™ adapters, using RSLogix 5000® software, version
11 or later
See the figures to familiarize yourself with major parts of the module, noting that the
wiring base assembly is the 1734-TB or 1734-TBS POINT I/O two-piece terminal base,
which includes the 1734-RTB or 1734-RTBS removable terminal block, and 1734-MB
mounting base.

Install the Mounting Base

To install the mounting base on the DIN rail (Allen-Bradley® part number 199-DR1;
46277-3; EN50022), proceed as follows.
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,
Rockwell Automation publication 1770-4.1, for more information.
WARNING: When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous location, this

equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with proper wiring method
that complies with the governing electrical codes.

1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power
supply, or existing module).
46014
2. Slide the mounting base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail.
The mounting base snaps into place.

Install the Module

The module can be installed before or after base installation. Make sure that the mounting
base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the mounting base. In addition,
make sure the mounting base locking screw is positioned horizontal referenced to the base.
WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
To install the module, proceed as follows.
1. Use a bladed screwdriver to rotate the keyswitch on the mounting base clockwise
until the number required for the type of module you are installing aligns with
the notch in the base.
2. Verify the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal position.
You cannot insert the module if the locking mechanism is unlocked.

Turn the keyswitch to

align the number with
the notch. Notch
position 3 is shown.
Verify the DIN rail

locking screw is in the
horizontal position.

3. Insert the module straight down into the mounting base and press to secure.
The module locks into place.

Install the Removable Terminal Block

A Removable Terminal Block (RTB) is supplied with your wiring base assembly. To
remove, pull up on the RTB handle. This allows the mounting base to be removed and
replaced as necessary without removing any of the wiring. To reinsert the Removable
Terminal Block, proceed as follows.
WARNING: When you connect or disconnect the Removable Terminal Block

(RTB) with field side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations.
1. Insert the end opposite the handle into the base unit.
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 in place.
3. If an I/O module is installed, snap the RTB handle into place on the module.

WARNING: For 1734-RTBS and 1734-RTB3S, to latch and unlatch the wire,
insert a bladed screwdriver (catalog number 1492-N90 – 3 mm diameter blade)
into the opening at approximately 73° (blade surface is parallel with top surface
of the opening) and push up gently.
73° 85°

Remove a Mounting Base

To remove a mounting base, you must remove any installed module, and the module that is
installed in the base to the right. Remove the Removable Terminal Block, if wired.
WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is
location installations.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
WARNING: When you connect or disconnect the Removable Terminal Block

(RTB) with field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This can cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations.
1. Unlatch the RTB handle on the I/O module.

2. Pull on the RTB handle to remove the removable terminal block.
3. Press the module lock on the top of the module.
4. Pull on the I/O module to remove from the base.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the module to the right.
6. Use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the orange, base locking screw to a
vertical position.
This releases the locking mechanism.
7. Lift straight up to remove.

Wire the Module

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is
location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding.
WARNING: To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this equipment
must be powered from a source compliant with the following:
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV).
