This manual shows you how to use your Block I/O with an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller. It helps you:
install
program and
troubleshoot your module.
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley programmable
controller (PLC) to make efficient use of Block I/O modules.
We assume that you know how to do this in this manual. If you do not,
refer to the appropriate PLC programming and operations manual before
you attempt to program this module.
In this manual, we refer to:
the block I/O module as the “block” or the “module”
the programmable controller as the “controller” or “processor.”
This manual is divided into 4 chapters. The following chart shows each
chapter with its corresponding title and brief overview of the topics
covered in that chapter.

Block I/O consists of small, self–contained remote I/O devices complete
with power supply, programmable controller interface, input/output
connections and signal conditioning circuitry.
This publication covers the 1791–IOBX and –IOVX block I/O modules.
The 1791–IOBX has 64 sinking inputs and 64 sourcing outputs; the
1791–IOVX has 64 sourcing inputs and 64 sinking outputs. In all other
aspects, they are identical.

How
the Block I/O Fits in a
PLC System
Block I/O is a complete I/O interface that includes the functionality of the
I/O rack, adapter, power supply, and I/O modules in a single unit. Simply
connect sensors and actuators to the module and use the remote I/O cable
to connect the block I/O to your programmable controller (Figure 1.6).
The 1791-IOBX block uses sinking inputs and sourcing outputs.
1-3
Chapter 1
Introducing Block I/O
In sinking inputs, the dc common is bussed on the block. and the current is
sourced from the field device. The sourcing field device switches the hot
side of the power supply bus causing current to flow through the sourcing
device to the sinking input on the block. Refer to Figure 1.2.

Sourcing outputs have the power bussed in the block. When the output is
on, current is supplied to the field control device, which sinks the current.
The field circuit and the equipment remain at ground potential until the
output is turned on. Refer to Figure 1.3.
Note: The outputs must be externally fused to protect the device output
against overcurrent or short circuit conditions.

Chapter 1
Introducing Block I/O
In sourcing input modules (Figure 1.4), the +V on dc circuits is bussed on
the module supplying (sourcing) the current for each input circuit. The
field device switches the circuit to the common (side of the power supply,
sinking the circuit and causing current to flow from the module’s input.

In sinking outputs (Figure 1.5), the current flow is reversed. The dc
common is bussed on the module and the current is sourced from the field
device being actuated. When an output is turned on, the output switch in
the module sinks the circuit, causing current to flow from the +V bus
through the field device to the module.
Note: The outputs must be externally fused to protect the device output
against overcurrent or short circuit conditions.

Introducing Block I/O
Block I/O functions exactly like any Allen-Bradley remote I/O product.
Input and output data is scanned asynchronously and transferred back and
forth between the block and the controller input and output image table.
You connect the block I/O to your remote I/O link as you would any other
device. The block looks like a 1/2 I/O rack to the processor, and uses 4
words of input image table memory and 4 words of output image table
memory. The block is addressed directly on the remote I/O link.

Connections to the block I/O module are made to the removable terminal
blocks on each side of the module. Input connections are on the left side,
and output connections are on the right side. The input terminal blocks are
keyed differently than the output blocks to prevent incorrect insertion.

Both input terminal blocks are keyed alike. If
removed for wiring, or module replacement, make certain that
the terminal blocks are placed in their proper position
when reinstalling.

An external 24V dc (+10/-25%) power supply is required to power the
block. Total current required to power the block is equal to 300mA.
In addition, the external power supply should have current limiting
capabilities. The voltage range must not exceed 18.0-26.4V dc.

If this is the last remote I/O adapter on the RIO link in a PLC system, you
must use a terminating resistor to terminate both ends of the remote I/O
link (scanner end and last block end). The size of the terminator is
determined by the system configuration.
Older configurations can use a 150 ohm resistor at both ends. With newer
devices that can support it, you can use an 82 ohm termination resistor at
both ends. The 82 ohm terminators provide “extended node” capability
which allows you to have up to 32 physical devices on the RIO link. (The
number of logical racks capable of being addressed by the scanner is
not affected.)

Fusing
Summary
1791 high-density block I/O modules (64 and 128 input/output) have
internal fusing. Each group of 16 output points is protected by a 5.0A fuse.
These fuses protect the user output devices. They do not protect each
individual output from overload. It is recommended that individual outputs
be fused externally to protect the individual output circuit.

To learn how to configure your block I/O when used with SLC 500
processors, refer to the publication for the 1747-SN Remote I/O Scanner
Module.
Each block I/O module has multiple-position switches for setting:
transmission (baud) rate - used to set the communication rate chosen
for the remote I/O link
last state - when last state is enabled, a processor reset will keep the
outputs in their present (last) state; when last state is disabled, the

Each block uses 4 words of output image table memory and 4 words of
input image table memory. Each block occupies 1/2 rack of data table, with
2 blocks comprising 1 logical rack. Image table usage for one assigned
rack number is shown in Figure 3.3. An example of image table usage is
shown in Figure 3.4.
In this chapter you learned how to set the configuration switches and the
rack addresses for input and output terminals.

Indicators
In this chapter you will learn about the indicators on the block I/O module,
and how to use them to troubleshoot the unit.
Each block I/O module has indicators (Figure 4.1) which provide
indication of specific functions. Each module has the following:
Status Indicators - Indicators are provided for power, active,
communication and fuse blown indications. An LED array provides
input/output status.
POWER Indicator -
- green -on continuously if customer voltage is present;
off if power is not applied or there is an internal power supply
problem.
ACTIVE Indicator -
- red if the CPU is not running;
green if the CPU is operating correctly.
COMM Indicator - indicates the status of the RIO link.
- green when communication is correctly established;
off when communication is not established;
flashing when programmable controller is in PROG mode.
FUSE Indicator - indicates the status of the 4 output fuses.
- off if all 4 fuses are intact;
red if any one of the fuses opens.
The I/O status array is an 8 by 8 array of 64 LEDs capable of displaying
the status of 32 inputs and 32 outputs at any one time. Pushbuttons are
provided to toggle the display between the lower 32 bits and the upper
32 bits.
Refer to Table 4.A below for status indications reported by the indicators.

Replacing
a Fuse
The block I/O module has one fuse for each group of outputs. To replace a
fuse, proceed as follows.
1.Remove power to the block I/O module.
TTENTION:
A
Remove power to the block I/O module before
attempting to replace the fuse.
Failure to remove power from the block I/O module could
cause injury or equipment damage due to possible
unexpected operation.
Failure to remove power from the module could cause
module damage, degradation of performance or injury.
2.Remove the 5 screws securing the cover to the block I/O module.
3.Locate and remove the blown fuse.

4.Replace the blown fuse with a 5.0A slow blow fuse.
5.Reinstall cover and secure with 5 screws removed in step 2.
6.Reapply power to the module.
