Allen-Bradley | 1734-AENT | POINT I/O

Product Description: Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT

The Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT is a single-port EtherNet/IP adapter that enables POINT I/O modules to communicate over an EtherNet/IP network. It acts as the network interface between a POINT I/O assembly and a Logix-based controller, supporting real-time I/O data exchange and configuration. Designed for applications not requiring Device Level Ring (DLR), it offers a compact and cost-effective solution for standard Ethernet topologies.
