About the Module
The DeviceNet 1732D ArmorBlock I/O family consists of stand-alone
24V DC I/O modules that communicate via the DeviceNet network. The
sealed IP69K housing of these modules requires no enclosure. Note that it is
possible that environmental requirements other than IP69K require an
additional appropriate enclosure. I/O connectors are sealed M12 style.
The DeviceNet network uses advanced network technology,
producer/consumer communication, to increase network functionality and
throughput. Visit our web site at http://www.ab.com/networks for
producer/consumer technology information and updates.

Publication 1732D-IN011A-EN-E - April 2009
Catalog Number Explanation
The catalog number 1732D-8X81212HD identifies a DeviceNet 24V DC
8-port 8-input 8-output 1.4 A M12-style network connector module.
Install the Module
To install the module:
•Set the node address
•Mount the module
•Connect the cord sets
Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 through 63.
Set the node address using either the rotary switches, RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet, DeviceNetManager, or another software configuration tool.
Setting the switches at any number from 64 through 99 lets the software have
address control.
Each module is shipped set for node address 63. Remove the caps on the
front of the module to access the switches. The two switches are:
•X10 (most significant digit) - left side of module
•X1 (least significant digit) - right side of module

6DeviceNet ArmorBlock Network and Auxiliary Powered Module, Series A
Publication 1732D-IN011A-EN-E - April 2009
To reset the node address:
1. Rotate the switches using a small blade screwdriver.
2. Line up the small black dot on the switch with the number setting you
wish to use.
3. Cycle power.
The rotary switches are read periodically. If the switches have been changed
since the last time they were read and they no longer match the online address,
a minor fault occurs, which is indicated by a flashing red MOD LED.
Settings of 64 through 99 cause the module to use the last valid node address
stored internally. For example, the last setting internally was 40. If a change is
made to 68, and then you power up, the address defaults to 40.
The module is equipped with AutoBaud detect. AutoBaud lets the module
read the settings already in use on your DeviceNet network and automatically
adjusts to those settings.
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 0.64 Nm (6 in-lb).
Example shows
default node
address set at 63. 43968

Mounting the Module in High Vibration Areas
If you mount the module in an area that is subject to shock or vibration,
we recommend that 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 0.64 Nm (6 in-lb).
Connect the I/O Cord Sets to the ArmorBlock Module
The ArmorBlock DeviceNet family has 5-pin M12-style connectors.
We provide caps to cover the unused connectors on your module.
Connect the quick-disconnect cord sets that you selected for your module to
the appropriate ports.

Publication 1732D-IN011A-EN-E - April 2009
Communicate with Your Module
This module’s I/O is exchanged with the master through a cyclic, polled, or
change-of-state connection.
Cyclic - allows configuration of the block as an I/O client. The block will
produce and consume its I/O cyclically at the rate configured.
Polled - a master initiates communication by sending its polled I/O message
to the module. The module consumes the message, updates outputs, and
produces a response. The response has input data.
Change-of-State - productions occur when an input changes or a fault
condition occurs. If no input or fault condition change occurs within the
expected packet rate, a heartbeat production occurs. This heartbeat
production tells the scanner module that the I/O module is alive and ready to
communicate. Consumption occurs when data changes and the master
produces new output data to the I/O block.
Refer to the Module Data Definitions table for more information.
