1732DS ArmorBlock Guard I/O

Guard I/O Modules Overview

Control and monitor your safety devices with Guard I/O. When used with Rockwell Automation safety controllers, Guard I/O communicates on EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet using CIP Safety protocol. As an effective technology, Guard I/O detects failures at the I/O and field device level, while helping enhance operator protection.

CompactBlock Guard I/O modules are available in IP20 (in-cabinet) form factor. ArmorBlock Guard I/O modules are IP64, IP65, or IP67 (on-machine) form factor (as marked on the product label). POINT Guard I/O provides maximum I/O density in minimal panel space.


Guard I/O modules offer the following advantages when implementing a safety control system:

The above example network shows how almost any 24V DC safety-rated or standard sensor can be wired to any Guard I/O module to monitor the machine’s status.

Choosing Your I/O Hardware

Guard I/O module options are available to minimize associated safety hardware. Additionally, installation costs, wiring time, and commissioning time can be further reduced when using ArmorBlock Guard I/O, as shown in the example below with a light curtain muting application.

A variety of CompactBlock Guard I/O is available to suit most every need.


ArmorBlock® Guard I/O™

Description

ArmorBlock® Guard I/O™ provides all the advantages of traditional distributed I/O for safety systems, but has an IP64, IP65, or IP67 package (as marked on the product label) that can be mounted directly on your machine. On-machine safety I/O reduces wiring time and startup costs for safety controller applications by eliminating electrical boxes and simplifying cable installation. The ArmorBlock family provides industrially hardened I/O blocks that you can mount directly on equipment near sensors or actuators. Wiring the I/O to the sensors and actuators is easy using pre-wired quick disconnect cables.

You can use Guard I/O with any safety controller that communicates on DeviceNet using CIP Safety for the control and monitoring of safety circuits. Guard I/O detects circuit failures at each I/O point while providing detailed diagnostics directly to the controller. With CIP Safety, you can easily integrate safety and standard control systems by using safety and standard messages on the same wire.

The 1732DS ArmorBlock Guard I/O family consists of 24V DC digital I/O modules that communicate on DeviceNet networks. The I/O connectors are sealed M12 micro style while the network and auxiliary power connectors are sealed mini style. Plus, the ArmorBlock Guard I/O uses the same input and output M12 pin configuration as standard ArmorBlock and MaXum.
