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.

Module Identification
(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.

Optional Accessory
The following table identifies optional accessory that you can use with the modules that
have to be ordered separately.
Catalog Number Explanation
Refer to the table for a description of the module catalog numbers.
Install the Module
To install the module:
• Set the network address
•Mountthemodule
• Connect the Functional Ground and Module power/Auxiliary power cables
• Connect the I/O and Network 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 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.
If DHCP is not enabled, the I/O block uses the IP address (along with other TCP
configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.

Note: You need to remove the
protective switch dust caps before you
can adjust the address settings.
Example shows the node address
switches at 163, which sets the
module IP address to 192.168.1.163.

Publication 1732E-IN006C-EN-E - June 2013
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-IF4M12R, 1732E-OF4M12R ArmorBlock EtherNet/IP 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.
