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.

Product Design

ArmorBlock Product Design

The 1732 ArmorBlock I/O modules have a compact style with a low profile. 1732 ArmorBlock modules are packaged in a sealed housing rated for IP67, IP69K and NEMA 4X. A 1732 ArmorBlock I/O module contains digital I/O circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, or PROFIBUS DP I/O adapter. The DeviceNet 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 is provided for 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 I/O points. Electronic fusing provides protection for output load devices and easy resetting. Units are available as 8 or 16 inputs, 8 or 16 outputs or 8 or 16 self-configuring modules. The self-configuring modules contain both input and output functionality. With these self-configuring modules, you’re not required to “configure” anything and any combination of input and outputs are available (e.g., 7+1, 11+5, 4+4). The self-configuring units have automatic output monitoring.

1732 ArmorBlock I/O modules are designed for back-panel or On-Machine mounting. The 8 point modules can be front or side mounted, the 8 or 16 point modules can be horizontally or vertically mounted. Enclosure costs are eliminated because each block is packaged in a rated sealed housing. I/O terminations are DC micro (M12) quick-disconnects or pico (M8) quick-disconnects. These modules do not require a separate base.


Armor WeldBlock Product Design

The 1732 Armor WeldBlock 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, light-weight metal housing, of nickel-plated aluminum, protects the electronics which are the same as those in other 1732 ArmorBlocks and is ideal for end-of-arm robot applications. Armor WeldBlocks are available in DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP with 24V dc,16 point inputs only or 16 point self-configuring I/O. I/O and network connections are DC Micro (M12).
