This is not a bug or glitch...
Just a quick explanation on what users are experiencing here when attempting to expand a POINT I/O adapter chassis size...
Changing the adapter's chassis size under the Module Definition in RSLogix 5000/Logix Designer is only informing the Logix 5000 project of the change i.e. the controller. Even if you make the software change, also adding the new module(s) under the I/O Configuration, and download to the controller, this does not update the actual adapter configuration in the device itself, only the controller is updated to reflect this change. You must separately update the actual adapter as well.
From scratch...
In RSLogix 5000/Logix Designer under Module Properties for the 1734-AENTx -
1. Offline from the controller, go to General>Change>Module Definition and change the Chassis Size as required, including "1" for the adapter itself. Save and download this change to the controller. This just updates the controller I/O Configuration of the change.
2. Go Online with the controller and revisit the Module Properties for the 1734-AENTx. Double-check the downloaded change is still present under General>Change>Module Definition>Chassis Size. Then go to the Chassis Size tab and you should see that the Chassis Size in Module value, which should be looking at the adapter live, will be different from the General tab value. Then press the Set Chassis Size in Module button.
As the description to the left of the button explains, this button will update the chassis size in the actual adapter with the chassis size you have already updated and downloaded under the General tab. At this point both the controller and the adapter should now have been updated to reflect the same change.
Alternatively, if you do the General tab change offline and perform a download, then to update the actual adapter, you can do as Ken advised and access it live via its embedded web interface, or, you can access it live via RSLinx Classic/Module Properties (-AENT only, not -AENTR) and make the change. Either of these methods will update the configuration in the actual adapter.
However, the button on the Chassis Size tab, which is available in both RSLogix 5000 and Logix Designer, is there to make this chassis size change much simpler. You just have to know about it.
So in short...
Both the project i.e. Logix 5000 controller, and the actual POINT I/O adapter must be separately configured to reflect any chassis size expansion, or reduction changes, and these changes may all be made via the adapter's Module Properties applet.
