Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II
applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at
altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without
appropriate precautions, there may be potential
difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other
environments due to conducted as well as radiated
disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as "enclosed" equipment. It
should not require additional system enclosure when used
in locations consistent with the enclosure type ratings
stated in the Specifications section of this publication.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain
additional information regarding specific enclosure type
ratings, beyond what this product provides, that are
required to comply with certain product safety
certifications.
See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication
60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure. Also,
see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as
the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1 ("Industrial
Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines"), for
additional installation requirements pertaining to this
equipment.

Install Your ArmorBlock MaXum I/O Module
To install the module:
•Set the node address
•Mount the module to the cable base
•Connect the cord sets
•Communicate with the module
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which
can cause internal damage and affect normal operation.
Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate
static-safe packaging.
Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 to 63.
Set the node address using the rotary switches, DeviceNetManager,
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, or other software configuration tool.
Setting the switches between 64 to 99 lets the software have address
control.
Each module is shipped set for node address 63. The switches are
located on the underside of the module. The two switches are:
•MSD (most significant digit)
•LSD (least significant digit)
To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the
switches. Line up the small black dot on the switch with the number
setting you wish to use.
Publication 1792D-IN053A-EN-P - August 2002
6 ArmorBlock MaXum 16 Input Module with Complete Diagnostics
The rotary switches are read at module power up only. Settings
between 64 and 99 cause the module to use the last valid node
address stored internally. Example: The last setting was 40. If a
change is made to 68, and then you power up, the address will
default to 40.
Example: Node address is set at 62 (see small black dots).
30703
The module is equipped with AutoBaud detect. AutoBaud lets the
module read the settings already in use on your DeviceNet network
and automatically adjusts to follow those settings.
Mount the Module to the Cable Base
This module mounts to the following cable bases:
•1792D-CBFM for KwikLink™ flat media installation
•1792D-CB12 for 12mm drop cable installation
•1792D-CB18 for round media trunk connection
•or other optional cable base assembly
IMPORTANT
To mount the module to the cable base:
IMPORTANT
The cable base should already be installed. See publication
1792D-IN009 for more information on installing the cable
base.
Proper alignment of the screws is necessary to complete the
connections between the module contacts and the cable
contacts.

If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This can cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.

WARNING
!
This module uses 5 pole micro (12mm) style PCB mounted
connectors.
Eight micro caps cover the connectors on your module. Remove the
caps and connect your cables to the appropriate ports. This product
has two inputs per connector. Use a “Y” splitter cable for access to all
input connections.
Use the micro caps to cover and seal unused ports. A pinout diagram
for the connectors is shown next.

If the devices (sensors) connected to the input connections
require Class 2 power to operate, the DeviceNet connections
of this equipment must be powered by a Class 2 source.
When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous location, this
equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with
proper wiring method that complies with the governing
electrical codes.

Communicate With Your ArmorBlock MaXum Module
This ArmorBlock module’s I/O is exchanged with the master through
a polled, change-of-state, or cyclic connection.
The module consumes and produces input data as follows:
Cyclic - allows configuration of the block as an I/O client. The block
will produce its I/O cyclically at the rate configured.
Polled - a master initiates communication by sending its polled I/O
message to the module. The 16 input module scans the inputs and
fault bits producing a response that reflects their status.
Change of State - productions occur when an input changes or a
fault condition occurs. If no input or fault condition change occurs
within the expected packet rate, a heartbeat production occurs. This
heartbeat production tells the scanner module that the module is alive
and ready to communicate.
