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

Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The ArmorBlock I/O 8 Channel IO-Link Master provides eight channels that
can be individually configured as IO-Link Master or as a standard digital I/O
module on four M12 connectors. The IO-Link Master module can be configured
to fit any IO-Link and/or discrete application. The module also provides time
stamping functionality for discrete inputs and IO-Link input data.
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 standard digital input or standard digital
output. Standard digital input channels support IEC61131-2 type 1 input.
Channels can also be disabled if not in use.
You must use this master module with Studio 5000(1) software, version 20 or
later.
Modes of Usage
The module can be used in one of the following modes:
• as IO-Link Master,
• as standard digital input or standard digital output modules,
• as mixed IO-Link Master and standard digital input or standard digital
output modules.
• Individual channels can also be disabled if not in use.
(1) Studio 5000 Logix Designer is the latest version (starting at v20 or higher) of RSLogix 5000 and provides one
software package for discrete, process, batch, motion, safety and drive-based applications.
