Overview
The EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock is a 24V DC I/O module that communicates via
EtherNet/IP. The sealed IP65, IP67 and IP69K housing of these modules requires no
enclosure. Note that environmental requirements other than IP65, IP67 and IP69K may
require an additional appropriate enclosure. I/O connectors are micro M12 style.
EtherNet/IP networks use advanced network technology, for example,
producer/consumer communication, to increase network functionality and throughput.
To learn more about features, configuration requirements, and calibration process for the
1732E-IT4IM12R and 1732E-IR4IM12R modules, see the 1732E ArmorBlock

(1) Function Earth grounds the I/O block’s EtherNet/IP communication circuitry which is designed to mitigate the effect of
noise on the network. The device requires a solid earth ground connection, either through a metal screw to a grounded
metal panel or through a wire. See Ethernet Connector on page 11 for connections.

• adjust the switches 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.
7. Record IP address on product label found on the side of enclosure.
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 default gateway address is set to 192.168.1.1.
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. The modules are shipped with the
network switches set to 999.

Note: You need to remove the protective
switch dust caps before you can adjust the
address settings.

Publication 1732E-IN005B-EN-E - September 2012
If DHCP is not enabled, the I/O block uses the IP address (along with other TCP
configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.
Network Address Switch value 001
The module IP address cannot be the same as the gateway address. If the address switches
are set to 001, the module IP address becomes 192.168.1.1, which is the same as the default
gateway address. In this case, the module gateway address will be set to 0.0.0.0.
Default Factory Configuration
The switch value 888 resets the module to default factory configuration on power up. The
module will not operate properly when powered up with this setting. The switches must be
set to a different (and valid) value and then power cycled after a reset.
While in reset state, the module LED flashes red and the network LED goes off.
Mount the Module
Two sets of mounting holes are used to mount the module directly to a panel or machine.
Mounting holes accommodate #6 (M3) pan head screws. The torque specification is
0.68 Nm (6 lb-in.).
Product Dimensions
Refer to the mounting dimensions illustration to help you mount the module.

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-IT4IM12R and 1732E-IR4IM12R modules have 5-pin micro-style M12 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.
