Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1734-OB2EP Digital Output Module is a compact DC sourcing output module designed for use in Point I/O systems. It provides two NPN sourcing outputs (24V DC) for driving small actuators, relays, or indicator devices.
This module is ideal for distributed control applications that require tight installation spaces, reliable output switching, and robust module-level protection. The 1734-OB2EP integrates with the POINTBus interface and supports installation in DIN rail or panel-mounted control systems. Its design ensures efficient operation, low heat, and precise output control, suitable for industrial environments.
