High Speed 1734 DC Output Module for Allen-Bradley Point I/O with Compact GuardLogix Processor

Question:

Greetings! I recently acquired a new machine equipped with a Compact GuardLogix processor, which features Point I/O modules spread out in different areas. I am in search of a 1734 DC Output module that can be controlled within a frequency range of 0 to 3KHz to connect to a Vorne XLdata collection system. Despite spending considerable time searching on Rockwell's website, I have yet to come across a suitable solution. I am wondering if there is a compatible device available in the market.

If you're looking for a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) module, consider checking out AMCI's offerings. As a trusted Rockwell Partner, I have previous experience with AMCI resolver modules on Allen Bradley (AB) systems, although I haven't personally used the specific PWM module referenced here.

Christoph inquired: Greetings to all! I recently acquired a new machine outfitted with a Compact GuardLogix processor, which includes Point I/O in various locations. I am seeking a 1734 DC Output module that can be controlled within a frequency range of 0 to 3KHz to operate a Vorne XLdata collection system. Despite my extensive search efforts on Rockwell's official website, I have been unable to locate a suitable module. Is such a product available? It can be frustrating dealing with Vorne boards, as I have replaced numerous ones over the past few years. It may be more cost-effective to opt for a data collection scada system like ignition.

Do you require high-frequency output pulses and are limited by the speed of your network connection? If you need a frequency output with a 50% square wave, consider using an AMCI module for precise control. The RPI of the network connection plays a crucial role in determining how fast and frequent output pulses can be sent by the CompactLogix system.

If you're using your own funds, consider investing in the affordable RPi Pico ($10) for controlling up to 16 PWM channels with seven distinct frequencies. The maximum frequency is determined by CPU speed divided by four. Additionally, it's crucial to determine the required current for sinking and sourcing purposes.

Hello! From what I understand, it sounds like you might be looking to control the speed of a DC motor or similar device. Unfortunately, a 1734 DC Output module might not be the perfect pick as it's not typically designed to handle frequency control. Instead, you should consider a suitable VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) that communicates over the same network as your Compact GuardLogix to achieve the desired frequency control range. As for communicating with your Vorne XLdata collection system, you need to ensure that whichever device you choose can interface with it properly. Consulting with a Rockwell's representative could provide additional guidance tailored to your specific setup but I hope this might point you in the right direction!

Hi there! It does sound like a bit of a challenge. While the typical frequency range for 1734 DC Output modules from Rockwell is not as high as 3KHz, there might be other ways to achieve the integration with the Vorne XL data collection system. You could look into using a signal converter or an intermediary device that can manage the frequency requirement. It might be beneficial to contact Rockwell's customer support for tailored advice, as well. Also, another option to consider may be selecting different modules that can satisfy your frequency requirements natively. Good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

FAQ: 1. Is there a 1734 DC Output module compatible with a Compact GuardLogix processor that can be controlled within a frequency range of 0 to 3KHz?

Answer: Answer: Currently, there is no standard 1734 DC Output module from Rockwell that offers a frequency control range up to 3KHz. You may need to explore alternative solutions or customizations to meet your specific requirements.

FAQ: 2. Where can I find a suitable 1734 DC Output module for my Compact GuardLogix processor to connect to a Vorne XLdata collection system?

Answer: Answer: While Rockwell may not have a direct solution available, you can consider reaching out to Rockwell's support or exploring third-party vendors for custom or specialized modules that meet your frequency control needs.

FAQ: 3. Are there any workarounds or alternative devices that can achieve the required frequency control range for connecting to a Vorne XLdata collection system?

Answer: Answer: It may be worth investigating if there are external controllers or signal conditioning devices that can interface between a standard 1734 DC Output module and the Vorne XLdata collection system to achieve the desired frequency range control. Consulting with automation experts or system integrators could also provide valuable insights.
