Packing Data Installation Instructions ArmorBlock LP 8 Input/8 Output Module (Catalog Number 1792-IB8XOB8PLP) This 1792 ArmorBlock I/O block module (Cat. No. 1792-IB8XOB8PLP) contains I/O circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in DeviceNet I/O adapter. Because of its sealed housing, this 1792 I/O block requires no enclosure.
Programmable Controllers, Part 2 – Equipment Requirements and Tests. For specific information that the above norm requires, see the appropriate sections in this manual, as well as the following Allen-Bradley publications: Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Noise Immunity, publication 1770-4.1...
ArmorBlock-LP 8 Input/8 Output Module Set the Node Address Each ArmorBlock-LP comes with its internal program set for node address 63 and a communication rate of 125K bps. To set the node address and communication rate, you need the following: host computer with DeviceNet Manager Software (or similar configuration software tool) 1770-KFD RS-232 module (or similar interface)
ArmorBlock-LP 8 Input/8 Output Module Seven micro caps are included with your module. Use these caps to cover and seal unused ports. Pinout diagrams for the connectors are shown below. ATTENTION: Make sure all connectors are securely tightened to properly seal the connections against leaks and maintain IP67 requirements.
ArmorBlock-LP 8 Input/8 Output Module Connecting the Output Power Wiring Connect output power wiring to the 3-pin mini-connector on the end of the block. Important: The outputs use electronic overcurrent fault protection. Make certain your output power supply can handle overcurrent events. Output Power Mini-Connector Pin 1 = Chassis ground Pin 2 = +24V dc...
