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.

Preface
Purpose of This Manual
This manual describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot your
POINT I/O DeviceLogix and ArmorPOINT I/O DeviceLogix modules.
POINT I/O and ArmorPOINT I/O modules can be used in EtherNet/IP,
DeviceNet, and ControlNet systems. As such, you may need to refer to other
publications in addition to this one.
When using POINT I/O DeviceLogix modules with a communication
adapter, use this manual in conjunction with the user manual for the adapter
you are using as shown in the table.
POINT I/O DeviceLogix modules are not compatible with the PROFIBUS
adapter.
When using ArmorPOINT I/O DeviceLogix modules with a communication
adapter, use this manual in conjunction with the user manual for the adapter
you are using as shown in the table.
ArmorPOINT I/O DeviceLogix modules are not compatible with the
PROFIBUS adapter.
The modules in this manual are DeviceNet-ready. Each module can exist on
the DeviceNet network as one of the following:
•An individual node
•With an adapter (catalog number 1734-ADN or 1734-ADNX) as a
single node
For applications using these modules in a network with a 1734-PDN
DeviceNet Communication Interface, or a 1734D-xx POINTBlock I/O
module, this user manual is the primary documentation.
When Using POINT I/O
Modules on This Network Refer to Publication for Catalog No. Publication No.
