To secure access to a Logix 5000® controller, ArmorBlock 5000 8-channel IO-Link master
module, and IO-Link devices by authorized users only, consider the following options:
• Follow the guidelines provided in the System Security Design Guidelines Reference
Manual, publication SECURE-RM001.
• Password protect the source and execution of the control program.
• Deploy EtherNet/IP devices in accordance with recommended architectures and
concepts. See the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Design and Implementation
Guide, publication ENET-TD001.
• Implement physical barriers, such as locked cabinets.
To secure access to the system, consider the following options:
• Follow industry best practices to harden your PCs and servers, including anti-virus/
anti-malware and application whitelisting solutions.
The recommendations are published at the Rockwell Automation technical support
center in Knowledgebase article Rockwell Automation Customer Hardening Guidelines,
#546987. The technical support center is available at: rok.auto/knowledgebase.
• Develop and deploy backup and disaster recovery policies and procedures. Test
backups on a regular schedule.
• Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and systems, and make sure
that they are not accessible from the Internet.
• Locate control system networks and devices behind firewalls and isolate them from the
business network.
• Subscribe to Knowledgebase article Industrial Security Advisory Index,
Rockwell Automation technical support center so you have access to information about
security matters that affect Rockwell Automation products. The technical support
center is available at: rok.auto/knowledgebase.
Every IO-Link master module and IO-Link device in a Logix 5000 control system must be
owned by a controller. In a Logix 5000 control system, the controller performs the following:
• Establishes the connection to the IO-Link master module and IO-Link devices to begin
operation in the control system.
• Sends the configuration data to the IO-Link master module and IO-Link devices (only
when Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is enabled).
Each IO-Link master module and IO-Link device must continuously maintain communication
with its controller during normal operation.
The ArmorBlock 5000 8-channel IO-Link master module uses two 24V DC (nominal) power
supplies. These supplies are called the MSA power (Module/Sensor/Actuator) and LA power
(Local Actuator). Internally, the MSA power and LA power are isolated from each other.
• MSA power provides power to the module and all eight IO-Link channels of the module.
• LA power provides power for the IO-Link Class B isolated extra power supply or 2 A for
digital outputs.
Power can be daisy chained from one module to the next. You can also install a separate
power supply to each module.
Take note of the following when supplying power to your system:
• The voltage range for MSA power is 18...30V DC for digital I/O mode.
• The voltage range for MSA power is 20...30V DC for IO-Link master mode.
• The maximum current that any module can carry is 10 A.
• The maximum current that any pin on the 4-pin or 5-pin mini power connectors can
carry is 10 A.
