Offline configuration using the 1734-ADN or 1734-ADNX

Point I/O provides one of the lowest cost-per-point I/O solutions available. This, coupled with the versatility of vertical or horizontal mountings, the convenience of Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) and it's compact footprint make Point I/O ideal for applications where flexibility and low-cost of ownership are essential for successful control system design and operation.

The 1734-ADN Point I/O DeviceNet Adapter allows a total of 63 Point I/O modules to be assembled on a single DeviceNet node.

The 1734-ADNX Point I/O DeviceNet Adapter with Subnet Expansion provides the same functionality as the 1734-ADN, plus the ability to scan it's own DeviceNet sub-network.

The local Point I/O modules connected to the 1734-ADN or 1734-ADNX are referred to as being on the "PointBus Subnet". The attached Knowledgebase document provides a step-by-step procedure for configuring the PointBus Subnet and how this is configured as part of the main DeviceNet network. There is also additional information on the unique capabilities of the 1734-ADNX.
