Product Description

Allen-Bradley 1738-AENT, 1738-IB4M12, 1738-OB2EM12 EtherNet/IP Adapter and Point I/O Modules

The Allen-Bradley 1738 series ArmorPoint I/O system is a highly reliable, modular solution designed for demanding industrial automation environments. This specific configuration features the 1738-AENT EtherNet/IP adapter, which provides seamless high-speed network connectivity, manages field power distribution (up to 10A at 12/24V DC), and supplies 5V DC PointBus power to connected modules. The system includes the 1738-IB4M12, a 4-channel 24V DC input module, and the 1738-OB2EM12, a 2-channel 24V DC output module. Both I/O modules utilize robust M12 connectors for secure, vibration-resistant field wiring. For enhanced safety and equipment longevity, the output module features electronic fusing with a maximum capacity of 1A per channel and 2A per module. Comprehensive onboard status LEDs allow for quick, at-a-glance diagnostics of network, adapter, and individual point health.
