Information About 1734-VHSC24

The Allen-Bradley 1734-VHSC24 acts as both a signal conditioner and a function block, processing high-speed counter signals and passing them to the POINTBus backplane for the controller.  With a 1 MHz maximum input frequency, this module is suitable for use with high-resolution encoders, turbine meters, flow sensors, mechanical switches, pulse transducers, and other motion-related devices. Designed for industrial reliability, the 1734-VHSC24 includes multiple input filtering options (OFF, 10 μs, 100 μs, 1 ms, 10 ms) to ensure noise immunity and accurate counting. Outputs are rated 0.5 A at 24 VDC and isolated, allowing safe switching of control signals. Its 24-bit counting range (0 – 16,777,215) is stored internally in a 32-bit register, enabling configurable presets, rollover settings, and real-time counter operation.

Key Features:

  • Very High-Speed Counter up to 1 MHz
  • Supports quadrature encoder inputs
  • 1 group of A/Aret, B/Bret, Z/Zret inputs
  • 2 isolated 24 VDC sourcing outputs
  • Modes: Counter, Encoder, Rate, PWM, Pulse Generator
  • Adjustable input filtering
  • Compact POINT I/O design
  • DIN-rail mountable
  • Ideal for motion control and high-speed feedback systems

The module mounts to a POINT I/O base (1734-TB or 1734-TBS) and is DIN-rail ready. It carries cULus and CE certifications and operates across a wide environmental range, making it reliable for demanding automation environments.

 

Frequently Asked Questions about 1734-VHSC24
Question: What is this module used for?
Date Update:13/06/2025
Answer:

The 1734-VHSC24 is used for high-speed counting and precise signal processing in automation systems. It’s commonly applied in motion control, position tracking, speed sensing, and counting objects on fast-moving conveyors. The module processes encoder pulses or other fast input signals to provide real-time counter values to the PLC. It is ideal for use with incremental encoders or pulse-generating devices. Its high input frequency capability makes it suitable for applications requiring rapid response. The VHSC24 integrates seamlessly with POINT I/O systems and Rockwell controllers.

Question: What is the resolution of the counter?
Date Update:13/06/2025
Answer:

The 1734-VHSC24 uses a 24-bit binary counter, with a counting range from 0 to 16,777,215. This count is stored in a 32-bit register inside the controller. The high resolution supports accurate tracking of position and speed in demanding applications. The counter also includes programmable presets and rollover settings. This enables flexible logic programming within Rockwell controllers. The resolution is sufficient for fine-grained control in motion and metering tasks.

Question: What modes does it support?
Date Update:13/06/2025
Answer:

The 1734-VHSC24 supports multiple operation modes, including Counter, Encoder, Rate Measurement, Period/Rate, Continuous/Rate, PWM, and Pulse Generator. Each mode enables different types of real-time data collection and output control. In Counter mode, it counts rising/falling edges; Encoder mode allows for quadrature signal decoding. Rate mode is used to measure input pulse frequency. PWM and Pulse Generator modes enable signal output for control or testing. This flexibility supports a broad range of automation needs.

Question: How many outputs does it have?
Date Update:13/06/2025
Answer:

The module includes one isolated group of two digital outputs. Each output can handle up to 0.5 A at 24V DC. These outputs can be used to drive indicators, actuators, or other digital load devices. Output control can be configured based on counter value or preset conditions. The isolation ensures safe separation between control signals and field wiring. This allows flexible and secure integration in industrial control systems.

Question: Is it still in production?
Date Update:13/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the Allen-Bradley 1734-VHSC24 is currently in production and supported by Rockwell Automation. It remains a standard part of the POINT I/O platform. This module is widely used in applications requiring high-speed counting and is available from official distributors. As of now, there are no official announcements of discontinuation. For future-proofing, always refer to Rockwell’s Product Lifecycle Status tool. If discontinued in the future, alternatives may include other high-speed counter modules in the CompactLogix or Flex I/O families.
