Environment and Enclosure
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties
with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due to
conducted and radiated disturbances.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within
an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have
suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if
nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of
a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:

Overview
The EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock is a 24V DC I/O module that communicates via
EtherNet/IP. The sealed IP65, IP67 and IP69K housing of these modules requires no
enclosure. Note that environmental requirements other than IP65, IP67 and IP69K may
require an additional appropriate enclosure. I/O connectors are sealed M12 style.
EtherNet/IP networks use advanced network technolog y, for example,
producer/consumer communication, to increase network functionality and throughput.

Install the Module
To install the module:
• Set the network address
•Mount the module
• Connect the I/O, Network and Auxiliary cables to the module.
Set the Network Address
The I/O block ships with the rotary switches set to 999 and DHCP enabled.
To change the network address, you can do one of the following:
• adjust the switch on the front of the module.
• use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as Rockwell
Automation BootP/DHCP.
• retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.
The I/O block reads the switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid
number. To set the network address:
1. Rotate the three (3) switches on the front of the module using a small
blade screwdriver.
Publication 1732E-IN004C-EN-E - May 2012
Page 7
ArmorBlock 2-Port EtherNet/IP Module 7
Example shows default
node address set at 163.
44233
2. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use.
Valid settings range from 001…254.
3. Cycle power.
Set Network Address
When the switches are set to a valid number, the I/O block’s IP address is 192.168.1.xxx
(where xxx represents the number set on the switches). The I/O block’s subnet mask is
255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. When the I/O block uses the
network address set on the switches, the I/O block does not have a host name assigned to it
or use any Domain Name Server.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater than 254
excluding 888), the I/O block checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the
I/O block asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns other
Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
If DHCP is not enabled, the I/O block uses the IP address (along with other TCP
configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.
Mount the Module
Two sets of mounting holes are used to mount the module directly to a panel or machine.
Mounting holes accommodate #8 (M4) pan head screws. The torque specification is
1.13 Nm (10 in-lb).

Mount the Module in High Vibration Areas
If you mount the module in an area that is subject to shock or vibration, we recommend
you use a flat and a lock washer to mount the module. Mount the flat and the lock washer
as shown in the mounting illustration. Torque the mounting screws to 1.13 Nm (10 in-lb).

the D-Code M12 female network connector.
Use two twisted pair CAT5E UTP or STP cables.
The 1732E-16CFGM12R self-configuring module contains both input and output
functionality.
• If an I/O point is to be an output, dedicate that point as an output with a wired
load and energize it through a control program.
• Energized outputs show an associated active input that can be used as a feedback
mechanism to make certain that the output is on.
• If an I/O point is to be an input, wire the input device as normal and leave the
associated output de-energized at all times.
Auxiliary Power Connector
Attach the mini-style 4-pin connector to the mini-style 4-pin receptacle as shown below.
Mini-style 4-Pin Input Male Receptacle
Auxiliary Power is based on a 4-pin connector system and is used to provide 24V DC
power to I/O modules and other devices. Running separate power to these devices is most
typically used for I/O devices with output connections to prevent power supply
interruption due to switching of outputs. However, some devices require separate auxiliary
power to power them regardless of the presence of outputs.

Depending on the devices used, it may be possible to provide power through only one pair
of the four available pins, and in this case the other available pair may be used for single
channel E-stop through the use of special E-stop drop or power T-ports and shorting
plugs. Allen-Bradley E-stop T-ports and shorting plugs are red in color for
easy identification.
ATTENTION: To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this
equipment and all connected I/O must be powered from a source compliant
with the following:
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV).
ATTENTION: If any I/O device connected to this equipment requires Class 2
power to operate, this equipment and all connected I/O must be powered by a
Class 2 source.
