This 1792 ArmorBlockI/O block module (Cat. No. 1792-IB16)
contains I/O circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in DeviceNet
I/O adapter. Because of its sealed housing, this 1792 I/O block requires
no enclosure. It is compatible with PLC or SLC programmable
controllers using DeviceNet scanners. The I/O values are accessible
from the PLC or SLC programmable controller data table.
This ArmorBlock module has no switches to set. You set module
parameters using the DeviceNet Manager Software (cat. no.
1787-MGR) or similar configuration tool.

Install Y our ArmorBlock Module
Installation of the ArmorBlock module consists of:
•setting the node address in the ArmorBlock module
•mounting the ArmorBlock module
•connecting the wiring
•communicating with your module
•configuring the parameters
Set the Node Address
Each ArmorBlock comes with its internal program set for node address
63. To set the node address, you need the following:
•host computer with DeviceNet Manager Software (or similar
configuration software tool)
•1770-KFD RS-232 module (or similar interface)
•suitable cables to connect the 1770-KFD to your module and to
connect the 1770-KFD to your host computer
Set the node address to meet your system requirements as follows:
1. Set up a system (as shown below) to communicate with your
ArmorBlock module.
Power from 9V DC Power-Supply Adapter
power supply
open style connector to
sealed mini-female cable
RS-232 module
host computer with the

2. Using DeviceNet Manager Software, go online using the “Setup
Online Connection” selection on the utility pulldown menu.
3. The DeviceNet Driver selection screen appears.
Select the driver for your application and click on .
4. The Driver configuration screen lets you:
•set the data rate
•set the interface adapter node address
•select the interface adapter serial port
•set interface adapter baud rate
Click on to go online.

5. The bar at the bottom of the screen will tell you when you go online.
6. At the utility pulldown, select “Node Commissioning.”
7. You can set the node address on the “Device Configuration – Node
Commissioning” screen. Note that the node address “out of the box”
setting is 63. Set the desired node address per your system
requirements.
Set new node
address here.
You can also set the data rate on this screen, if required. However,
your module is shipped with the “autobaud” parameter enabled.
This assures that the module will be at the correct data rate for any
network to which it is connected. To change the data rate, you must
first disable autobaud on the parameter screen, then return to the
“Device Configuration – Node Commissioning” screen and enter
the new data rate.
8. Click on to apply the new node settings.
9. Repeat the above procedure to set the node addresses of any
additional ArmorBlock modules you want to install.

Publication 1792-5.3 – October 1996
Mount the ArmorBlock Module
Mount the block module directly to the machine or device. Complete
mounting dimensions are shown below. Note that the block dimensions
allow direct connection of a T-port tap (cat. no. 1485P-P1N5-j) to the
DeviceNet connector. (Refer to publication 1485-6.7.1 for cabling
details.)
The ArmorBlock module has a sloping top and a gap at the rear to
allow water or other liquids to run off during washdowns. The flow
through the gap prevents buildup of debris under the block.
Preferred mounting position is with the microconnectors pointing
down. However, the block can be mounted in any orientation.

Micro plugs are included with your module. Use these plugs to cover
and seal unused ports.
Pinout diagrams for these connectors are shown below.
!ATTENTION: All connectors must be securely
tightened to properly seal the connections against leaks
and maintain NEMA 4X and 6P requirements.

Communicate with Your ArmorBlock Module
This ArmorBlock module acts as a slave in a master/slave environment.
It is both a “polled device” and a “change of state device.”
When configured as a polled device, a master initiates communication
by sending its polled I/O message to the ArmorBlock module. The 16
input module scans the inputs and fault bit producing a response that
reflects their status.
When configured as a “change of state” device, productions occur
when an input changes or an input source voltage fault occurs. If
neither has occurred within the “expected packet rate,” a heartbeat
production occurs. This heartbeat production tells the scanner module
that the ArmorBlock module is alive and ready to communicate.
