Chapter 3
Use the Modules in an ArmorBlock System
Similar Functionality to
Standard ArmorBlock
20
This chapter focuses on how the module behavior differs from that of other
ArmorBlock modules. However, you should be aware of aspects in which the
module is similar to standard EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock modules.
describes the similarities.

Ownership
Using Studio 5000 Logix Designer software
Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM003D-EN-E - November 2021
Description
Every module in an ArmorBlock system must be owned by a Logix 5000
controller. This owner-controller:
• Stores configuration data for every module that it owns.
• Sends the module configuration data to define the module behavior and
begin operation with the control system.
This module does not support multiple owner-controllers.
The I/O configuration portion of Studio 5000 Logix Designer software,
version 18 or later, generates the configuration data for each module.
Configuration data is transferred to the controller during the program
download and subsequently transferred to the appropriate modules.
Modules are ready to run as soon as the configuration data has been
downloaded.
Configure all modules for a given controller using Studio 5000 Logix
Designer software and download that information to the controller.
