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://literature.rockwellautomation.com) 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 requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc.
cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits,
equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell
Automation, Inc., is prohibited.
Throughout this manual, when necessary, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.

Environment and Enclosure
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in overvoltage Category II applications (as
defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties
with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due
to conducted and radiated disturbances.
This equipment is supplied as enclosed equipment. It should not require
additional system enclosure when used in locations consistent with the
enclosure type ratings stated in the Specifications section of this publication.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings, beyond what this product provides,
that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley
publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements.
•NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
ATTENTION This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause
internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when
you handle this equipment.
•Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
•Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
•Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
•Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
•Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
•Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in
use.

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).

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.
