The 1734-IE4SK is a digital input module from Rockwell Automation's Allen-Bradley product line. It is designed to be used with CompactLogix or MicroLogix control systems. This particular module has a screw-type terminal base and is used for interfacing with digital input devices in industrial automation applications.

The 1734-IE4SK module supports up to four channels of digital input, with each channel capable of handling both sinking and sourcing input signals. It provides a flexible and efficient way to monitor the status of digital devices such as limit switches, push buttons, proximity sensors, and other devices that provide digital ON/OFF signals.

The module is designed to be easily installed onto a compatible backplane, and it communicates with the PLC controller through a communication bus. It is also hot-swappable, allowing for replacement or addition of modules without interrupting the overall system operation.

The 1734-IE4SK module is part of the 1734 POINT I/O module family, which offers a wide range of input and output modules to suit specific application requirements. These modules are popular in various industries for their reliability and compatibility with Rockwell Automation's control systems.
