ArmorBlock I/O

The 1732 ArmorBlock® I/O family features space-saving, inexpensive, sealed-housing digital I/O blocks suitable for On-Machine™ mounting. 1732 ArmorBlock I/O is available for DeviceNet™, EtherNet/IP™, and PROFIBUS™ communication networks. Armor™ WeldBlock I/O modules are suited for use in typical welding applications. Up to sixteen 24V DC points can be addressed per node. A secondary enclosure is not necessary to house these modules.

Benefits


Product Design

ArmorBlock Product Design

The 1732 ArmorBlock I/O has a compact style with a low profile. It is packaged in sealed housings rated for IP69K and NEMA 4X. Each block contains digital I/O circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, or PROFIBUS DP I/O adapter. Dual-port EtherNet/IP blocks contain Stratix switch-compatible embedded switch technology, which supports device-level ring (DLR) topology. CIP Sync is available on some EtherNet/IP blocks. For DeviceNet, the network supplies power to the ArmorBlock system and, on some models, also to the I/O. On those units with DeviceNet network powered I/O, a diagnostic bit indicates short circuits and overcurrent. Inputs and outputs are powered by an external 24V DC source which is independent of the network. An external 24V DC power source is required for PROFIBUS DP.

I/O blocks are available with 8 or 16 inputs, 8 or 16 outputs, or 8 or 16 self-configuring I/O points. The self-configuring I/O blocks contain both input and output functionality. With self-configuring I/O, it is not required to "configure" anything, and any combination of inputs and outputs are available (for example, 7+1, 11+5, 4+4). The self-configuring units have automatic output monitoring. Electronic fusing provides protection for output load devices and easy resetting.

ArmorBlock I/O blocks are designed for back-panel or On-Machine mounting. The 8- or 16-point blocks can be horizontally or vertically mounted. The 8-point blocks can also be front or side mounted. Enclosure costs are eliminated because each block is packaged in a rated sealed housing. I/O terminations are DC micro (M12), pico (M8), or quick connect. These I/O blocks do not require a separate base.


Armor WeldBlock Product Design

The 1732 Armor WeldBlock I/O is designed for use in typical welding applications. The design resists the effects of weld slag and magnetic fields found in close proximity to the weld head. The sealed, lightweight metal housing is made of nickel-plated aluminum. The housing protects the electronics—which are the same as those in other 1732 ArmorBlock I/O—and makes this the ideal I/O for end-of-arm robot applications. Armor WeldBlock I/O blocks are available with sixteen 24V DC inputs or sixteen self-configuring I/O points for DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP networks. I/O and network connections are DC Micro (M12). Quick connect terminations are available on some blocks.
