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.

Introduction
About This Chapter
This chapter introduces POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O configurable
modules with DeviceLogix capability.
•About the Modules
•Quick Start - Prepare the Modules to work on DeviceNet
•Quick Start - Prepare the Modules to work on EtherNet/IP and
ControlNet
About the Modules
The POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O modules work with EtherNet/IP,
DeviceNet and ControlNet network adapters. Each module has eight 24V DC
I/O points that self-configure to be inputs or outputs. Inputs are IEC Type 3
and outputs are self-protecting 0.5 A outputs.
The firmware in these modules uses Version 3 of the DeviceLogix master
library. The modules can execute 144 DeviceLogix function blocks in 3 ms.
Smaller programs that contain fewer than 40 function blocks can be executed
in 1 ms.
Each module produces 20 bytes of data including I/O state (eight bits), eight
user-defined bits, and eight user-defined words of analog data to be consumed
by processors or other DeviceLogix modules. Each module consumes 20 bytes
of data to set the I/O state (eight bits), eight user-defined control bits, and
eight user-defined words of analog data. It is also possible to consume the data
from up to eight other peers.
This table lists 1734 and 1738 configurable I/O modules with DeviceLogix.

1734-8CFGDLX
This module is an 8-point 24V DC I/O module with 8 self-configuring points
and DeviceLogix capabilities. Each of the I/O points can be either a DC input
or output. The module supports removal and insertion under power,

The ArmorPOINT I/O family consists of modular I/O modules. The sealed
IP67 housing of these modules requires no enclosure. Note that
environmental requirements other than IP67 may require an additional
appropriate housing. I/O connectors are sealed M8 (pico), M12 (micro) or
M23 styles. The mounting base ships with the module.
Modes of Usage
The module can be used in one of the following modes:
•as a standard POINT I/O module,
•in a stand alone DeviceLogix program where it controls its own I/O,
and
•in network applications with or without the peer exchange of data.
Standard POINT I/O Module
The module can simply be used as an 8-point configurable POINT I/O
module. It uses ODVA pre-defined Produce and Consume assemblies. Default
settings help to facilitate quick setup right out-of-the-box. It is CIP network
independent and it can run on DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP or ControlNet when
used in conjunction with an adapter.

Publication 1734-UM015A-EN-E - November 2009
Introduction 11
Stand Alone DeviceLogix
If DeviceLogix is enabled (programmed), then the module becomes the owner
of its outputs. The DeviceLogix program reads inputs and controls the
onboard outputs.
•The produced assembly may be shared with a controller if a connection
exists.
•As the owner of its local outputs, the module may run without an
external controller.
An external controller, which is the owner of the connection to the module,
can influence the module’s logic via a consume assembly – both digital and
analog data. Configuration of the module is performed via RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet. When used on ControlNet or EtherNet/IP, the tool bridges
through the adapter to directly communicate with the DeviceLogix module on
the POINT I/O backplane.
Peer Enabled POINT I/O
The POINT I/O DeviceLogix module can “listen in” on data connections to
other POINT I/O modules on the backplane. This data can be used in the
DeviceLogix program to control the outputs. It can consume data from 8
different peers. The data from each peer can be up to 24 bytes long. The data
can be digital, analog (16-bit), or a mixture. The module supports the “Auto
Produce” parameter to produce I/O data automatically without the need for a
master. It will also produce and consume network data. Configuration of peer
data is performed via RSNetWorx.
See Chapter 6, Configuring POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O DeviceLogix
modules using RSNetworx for DeviceNet.

ATTENTION Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m
(6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be
accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain
product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different
types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this
publication, as well as the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1
(Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines), for
additional installation requirements pertaining to this equipment.

ATTENTION POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground.
Use zinc-plated, yellow-chromated steel DIN rail to assure proper
grounding. The use of DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum
or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can
result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200
mm (7.8 in.).
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD
•Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been
removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
•Do not disconnect connections to this equipment unless
power has been removed or the area is known to be
nonhazardous. Secure any external connections that mate to
this equipment by using screws, sliding latches, threaded
connectors, or other means provided with this product.
•Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2.
•If this product contains batteries, they must only be changed
in an area known to be nonhazardous.
ATTENTION Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
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.

To install the mounting base assembly on the DIN rail, proceed as follows.
1. If you are using the 1734-TB or 1734-TBS mounting base, attach the
RTB to the mounting base.
Otherwise, skip to step 2.
2. Position the mounting base (wiring base assembly) vertically above the
installed units, for example, adapter, power supply, or existing module.
3. Slide the mounting base down, allowing the interlocking side pieces to
engage the adjacent module, power supply, or adapter.
4. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail until the base
snaps into place.
5. Use a small-bladed screwdriver to rotate the DIN-rail locking screw to
the horizontal position.
This locks the assembly to the DIN rail.
