Allen-Bradley 1734-IE4C Module facilitates industrial automation upgrades apr 18, 2026. As industrial automation systems evolve towards distributed architectures and high-precision data acquisition, Allen-Bradley continues to release high-performance I/O modules. Among them, the 1734-IE4C module, with its high-precision analog signal acquisition capabilities and flexible POINT I/O architecture, is becoming one of the key components in industrial control systems. The Allen-Bradley 1734-IE4C is a four-channel analog current input module from the POINT I/O series. It is primarily used to acquire analog signals from field devices (such as sensors and transmitters) and convert them into digital signals for processing by a PLC system. This module is widely used in distributed control systems (DCS) and PLC architectures, supporting seamless integration with controllers such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix to achieve efficient data acquisition and process control. | Model: | 1734-IE4C | | Module Type: | Analog Current Input Module | | Input Channels: | 4 channels (single-ended, non-isolated) | | Input Signal Range: | 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA | | Resolution: | 16-bit (0-21 mA range) | | Accuracy: | +/-0.1% full scale | | Conversion Type: | Delta-Sigma A/D converter | | Operating Temperature: | -20°C to 55°C | | Mounting Method: | DIN rail mount | | Series: | POINT I/O | Product Advantages High-Precision Data Acquisition Utilizing 16-bit resolution and Delta-Sigma conversion technology, it enables high-precision analog signal measurement, suitable for critical process control. Compact Modular Design The POINT I/O architecture makes the modules compact, saving control cabinet space and suitable for distributed system deployment. Strong Compatibility Supports integration with Logix series PLCs, achieving high-speed communication via POINTBus to improve system responsiveness. Built-in Diagnostic Functions Features channel-level diagnostics and alarm functions, facilitating rapid fault location and reducing downtime. High-Reliability Industrial Performance Supports wide-temperature operation and industrial-grade design, suitable for complex and harsh environments. Industry Advantages Under the current trend of industrial automation development, the POINT I/O system represented by the 1734-IE4C possesses significant industry advantages: [2] Supports distributed I/O architecture, reducing cabling costs [2] Enhances system scalability and flexibility [2] Achieves real-time data acquisition and control in the field [2] Suitable for smart manufacturing and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) This makes it highly valuable in modern factory automation upgrades.

Rockwell Automation welcomes CheeseExpo 2026 to Milwaukee, showcases dairy modernization solutions. Rockwell Automation, Inc., the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, will highlight how dairy processors are improving yield, consistency and operational performance through its advanced control and digital technologies at CheeseExpo 2026, April 14-16 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee. As dairy demand continues to grow globally, processors are facing increasing pressure to improve throughput, reduce variability and make better use of existing assets. According to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), U.S. dairy processors are expected to invest more than $11B in new and expanded processing capacity between 2025 and 2028 to keep pace with rising demand. At the same time, many facilities are operating near capacity and looking beyond greenfield expansion, focusing instead on how to optimize current operations. Rockwell Automation's solutions, including manufacturing execution systems (MES), industrial data platforms, and advanced control and analytics help dairy processors improve performance across production. The company will be showcasing how model predictive control (MPC) helps manage complex dairy processes such as evaporation, drying and fermentation, which can help stabilize operations, reduce variability and improve yield and energy efficiency. "Many dairy plants are being asked to do more with the assets they already have," said Todd Gilliam, director, food & beverage industry sales, Rockwell Automation. "We're seeing a growing focus on improving process stability and yield through better use of data and advanced control, rather than relying solely on capacity expansion." Lance Rodenfels, global director, simulation and data science at Rockwell Automation, will be leading a session on how industrial AI is already helping plants tackle labor shortages, rising costs, quality concerns and throughput limitations. His session, "Doing More with Less: AI-Powered Solutions for Dairy Processors," will be held in Exhibit Hall B on April 15 at 1 p.m. CheeseExpo attendees can also see Rockwell technologies in action at the machine level through OEM partners, including Harpak-ULMA, Delkor and others, demonstrating applications in packaging and processing environments. Rockwell will offer guided tours of partner booths at the event to help connect production challenges with available solutions.
$246M Rockwell facility to create hundreds of jobs. By Tom Daykin, USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect//April 9, 2026// The blueprint. * Rockwell Automation plans a $211M-$246M manufacturing facility in New Berlin. * Project could create hundreds of jobs and span over 1 million square feet. * Development may use tax incremental financing for infrastructure support. * Construction could begin in 2027 with completion expected in 2028. NEW BERLIN, Wis. - Rockwell Automation Inc.'s planned New Berlin manufacturing facility would create hundreds of new jobs, and cost $211 million to $246 million. The development could be partly financed through its property tax revenue - if approved by city officials. That's according to plans filed with the city for the 810,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and office, to be built east of an existing light industrial building at 5800 S. Moorland Road. Those plans were posted online by the New Berlin Community Development Department on April 8. That building could be expanded by 210,000 square feet - giving it just over 1 million square feet. A second industrial building, with 425,000 square feet, could be built just south of West Grange Avenue, about one-half mile east of the Costco store, according to the plans. The proposed development, to be built on what's now mainly farmland, will undergo Plan Commission and Common Council review. The site to be rezoned totals around 325 acres. A meeting for the public to look over the plans, ask questions, and provide feedback is scheduled for May 13 at City Hall. The Plan Commission will hold a June 1 hearing on the proposed rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment, with the commission possibly taking action at its July 15 meeting. The Common Council could act on those items at its July 28 meeting. Meanwhile, the council at its April 14 meeting could review a possible agreement with consulting firm Ehlers & Associates to prepare a tax incremental financing district project plan. That could allow Rockwell and/or development firm SunCap Property Group LLC to use property tax revenue from the new facility to help finance it. The tax financing district, which would need council approval, also could pay for such public improvements as sewers, water mains, and roads. Executives from Rockwell and Charlotte, North Carolina-based SunCap didn't immediately respond to questions about how much money would be requested through the tax financing district. Construction is expected to begin by early to mid-2027 and be completed in late 2028, a Rockwell representative said. Milwaukee-based Rockwell, which makes industrial automation technology, says the New Berlin plant could be its largest facility. It would feature advanced automation, robotics and digital technologies. The New Berlin facility is part of Rockwell's plans, announced in August, to spend $2 billion over the next five years on its manufacturing plants, talent, and digital infrastructure.
