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.
Use this diagram to identify the external features of the module.

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.).

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

Auxiliary Power Connectors
Attach the micro-style 4-pin connector to the micro-style 4-pin receptacle as shown below.
Auxiliary Power Micro-style 4-Pin Receptacles
The power required by the module is based on a 4-pin micro-style connector system. The
module receives its required power through the male connector on the left. A female
connector on the right is also provided so that power can be daisy-chained from module to
module.
The module requires two 24V DC (nominal) supplies. These supplies are called the
Module Power and the Auxiliary Power. The Module power powers the microprocessor
and Ethernet portions of the module. The Auxiliary Power provides power for the Digital
Outputs, the Digital Inputs, and the Sensor Voltage.
Internally, the Module Power and Auxiliary Power are isolated from each other.
IMPORTANT
The maximum current that any pin on the power connectors can carry is 4 A.
