About the ArmorBlock 2 Port Ethernet Module
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 technology, for example,
producer/consumer communication, to increase network functionality and
throughput.

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 switches 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. Set the network address by adjusting the 3 switches on the front
of the module (refer to the illustration on page 6). Use a small blade
screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the small notch on the switch with
the number setting you wish to use. Valid settings range from 001...254.
Network Address Example
This example shows
the network address
set at 63.
44233
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.

for the D-Code M12 female network connector.
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.
ATTENTION
Make sure all connectors and caps are securely tightened to properly seal the
connections against leaks and maintain IP enclosure type requirements.

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).
