Allen Bradley 1734-SSI Absolute Encoder Interface

The AB 1734-SSI is a POINT I/O interface module designed for direct connection to SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) absolute encoders. With 1 dedicated encoder channel and compact 12 mm width, it offers high-resolution position data capture in distributed control systems where space and flexibility are critical.

Operating on a 24V DC supply and compatible with standard POINTBus backplanes, the 1734-SSI enables easy integration with Logix controllers via distributed I/O over EtherNet/IP, offering robust and deterministic feedback in motion or position applications.
