Overview
The 1732E-12X4M12QCDR, 1732E-12X4M12P5QCDR, 1732E-16CFGM12QCR, 1732E-16CFGM12P5QCR, 1732E-16CFGM12QCWR
ArmorBlock® are I/O modules that communicate via Eth erNet/IP™. The sealed IP65, IP66, IP67, and IP69K housing of these
modules requires no enclosure. The I/O modules have dual Ethernet ports and use an e mbedded Ethernet switch.
The modules have Auxiliary power In and Out connectors. There is no need to house these modules in a secondar y
enclosure. The I/O modules support the QuickConnect feature, onboard nonvolatile memory for storing block-specific
data such as Tool ID and counter value, and provide basic distributed I/O functionality.

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.
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.

ArmorBlock 2-Port EtherNet/IP Modules with QuickConnect Installation Instructions
Example shows default node
address set at 163.
45759
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 enabl ed, 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).
