About the ArmorBlock 2 Port Ethernet Module
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 sealed M12 style.
EtherNet/IP networks use advanced network technology, for example,
producer/consumer communication, to increase network functionality and
throughput.
EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock 16-Point I/O Module
(1) Functional Earth grounds the I/O block’s EtherNet/IP communication circuitry which is designed to
mitigate the effect of noise on the network. Refer to EtherNet/IP Connectors on page 9 for
connections.
(2) Protective Earth is provided for the grounding of field devices and is internally connected to each Pin 5 of
the M12 I/O connectors. Refer to I/O Connectors on page 8 for connections.

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. Set the network address by adjusting the 3 switches on the front
of the module (refer to the illustration on page 6). Use a small blade
screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the small notch on the switch with
the number setting you wish to use. Valid settings range from 001...254.
Network Address Example
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.
This example shows
the network address
set at 63.

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 1.13 Nm (10 in-lb).
High Vibration Area Mounting

The 1732E-16CFGM12R self-configuring module contains both input and
output functionality.
•If an I/O point is to be an output, dedicate that point as an output
with a wired load and energize it through a control program.
•Energized outputs show an associated active input that can be used as
a feedback mechanism to make certain that the output is on.
•If an I/O point is to be an input, wire the input device as normal and
leave the associated output de-energized at all times.
I/O Self-configure Circuitry
IMPORTANT Use two twisted pair CAT5E UTP or STP cables.
ATTENTION Make sure all connectors and caps are securely tightened to properly seal the
connections against leaks and maintain IP enclosure type requirements.
