Important User Information
Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical
equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls
(Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between
solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also
because of the wide variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this
equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the
many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc.
cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

additional system enclosure when used in locations consistent with the
equipment Enclosure Type Ratings. Subsequent sections of this publication may
contain more information regarding specific enclosure type ratings, beyond what
this product provides, that are required to comply with certain product safety
certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Rockwell
Automation publication 1770-4.1, for additional install requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the
degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines
when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
ATTENTION: To comply with UL restrictions, this equipment and all connected
I/O must be powered from a source compliant with the following:
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
ATTENTION: To comply with CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this equipment
and all connected I/O must be powered from a source compliant with the
following: Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)

About the Module
The ArmorBlock I/O 8 Channel IO-Link Master Module provides eight channels that
can be individually configured as IO-Link master or as a standard digital I/O module. The
IO-Link channel master module can be configured to fit any IO-Link and/or discrete
application.
In IO-Link mode, the module supports eight channels for IO-Link master
communication with IO-Link compatible devices. In standard digital I/O mode, the
module supports eight channels of digital input or output. Standard digital input channels
support IEC61131-2 type 1 input. Channels can also be disabled if not in use.
You must use this module with RSLogix™ 5000/Studio 5000® software, version 20 or later.

Install the Module
To install the module:
• Set the network address.
•Mountthemodule.
• 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. Remove power.
2. Remove the switch dust caps.
3. Rotate the three (3) switches on the front of the module using a small blade
screwdriver.
4. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use.
Valid settings range from 001…254.
5. Replace switch dust caps. Make sure not to over tighten.
6. Reapply power.

ArmorBlock I/O 8 Channel IO-Link Master Module 7
Publication 1732E-IN001A-EN-E - July 2016
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 enabled, 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 0.68
Nm (6 lb-in.).

Mount the Module in High Vibration Areas
If you mount the module in an area that is subject to shock or vibration, we recommend
you use a flat and a lock washer to mount the module. Mount the flat and the lock washer
as shown in the mounting illustration. Torque the mounting screws to 0.68 Nm (6 lb-in.).
High Vibration Area Mounting
Connect the I/O, Network and Auxiliary Cables to the Module
The 1732E-8IOLM12R ArmorBlock EtherNet/IP module has a 5-pin micro-style I/O
connectors. We provide caps to cover the unused connectors on your module. Connect the
quick-disconnect cord sets you selected for your module to the appropriate ports.

IMPORTANT
Use the 1585D–M4DC–H: Polyamide small body unshielded mating
connectors for the D-Code M12 female network connector.
Note that the distance between the center of each Ethernet connector is
16.2 mm (refer to Module Dimensions on page 8). Rockwell Automation
recommends the use of suitable cable based on this measurement. Some of
the recommended cables are 1585D-M4TBJM-x and 1585D-M4TBDM-x
for daisychains.
IMPORTANT
Use two twisted pair CAT5E UTP or STP cables
