The Allen Bradley 1734 FPD is a high-precision Flow Pulse Input Module designed for seamless integration into Allen Bradley's POINT I/O™ system. Engineered for industrial automation environments, this module enables accurate monitoring and measurement of flow rates by capturing pulse signals from flow meters (e.g., turbine, electromagnetic, ultrasonic). It delivers reliable data to control systems, supporting efficient process optimization in critical applications.
Key Features
High-Accuracy Pulse Counting: Captures pulse signals with a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz, ensuring precise flow measurement across diverse operating conditions.
Versatile Input Compatibility: Supports multiple sensor types, including turbine, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic flow meters, with configurable sink/source input modes (5-24V DC).
Real-Time Diagnostics: Monitors input health, detects signal loss, and triggers fault indicators to enable proactive maintenance and minimize downtime.
Seamless Integration: Designed for POINT I/O systems, it connects directly to CompactLogix™ or ControlLogix® controllers via EtherNet/IP™ or DeviceNet™.
Rugged Industrial Design: IP20-rated enclosure and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) ensure reliability in harsh environments.
Hot-Swap Capability: Allows module replacement without system shutdown, reducing production interruptions.
