The Allen-Bradley 1734-FPD is a Field Potential Distributor module designed for the POINT I/O system. This essential component simplifies wiring by distributing field-side power to subsequent I/O modules on the same DIN rail assembly. It connects to an external 24V DC power supply and passes this power through the internal bus, providing a clean and efficient power management solution within your control cabinet. The 1734-FPD is a utility module, not an I/O module, and is crucial for powering field devices connected to various POINT I/O modules that require external field power.
