Allen-Bradley 1792-IB16LP ArmorBlock-LP 16 Input Module

Product Information

The ArmorBlockLP 16 Input Module (Cat. No. 1792-IB16LP) is an I/O block module that contains I/O circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in DeviceNet I/O adapter. It does not require an enclosure due to its sealed housing. It is compatible with PLC or SLC programmable controllers using Device Net scanners. The I/O values can be accessed from the PLC or SLC programmable controller data table. This module does not have any switches to set module parameters, instead, the parameters can be set using the Device Net Manager Software (Cat. No. 1787-MGR) or a similar configuration tool.
The product is compliant with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and is intended for use in an industrial environment. The ArmorBlock-LP module is a trademark of Allen-Bradley Co. Inc.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Set the Node Address:
   • Connect the 1770-KFD to your host computer.
   • Set up a system with the following components: Power from a 9V dc power supply adapter 1770-KFD, RS-232 module, and a host computer with DeviceNet Manager software.
   • Use the software to set the node address and communication rate of the ArmorBlock module to meet your system requirements.
2. Mount the ArmorBlock Module:
   • Mount the block module directly to the machine or device using three #8 (4mm) screws.
   • Refer to the provided mounting dimensions for proper installation.
3. Connect the Wiring to the ArmorBlock Module:
   • Use the provided eight 5-pin Input Micro-connectors and a 5-pin Device Net Mini-connector for the wiring connections.
   • Make sure to securely tighten all connectors to properly seal the connections against leaks and maintain IP67 requirements.
   • Refer to the pinout diagrams for the proper connections of the input wiring to the micro-connectors on the front of the block.

Installation Instructions

• This 1792 ArmorBlockE I/O block module (Cat. No. 1792-IB16LP) 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. It is compatible with PLC or SLC programmable controllers using DeviceNet scanners. The I/O values are accessible from the PLC or SLC programmable controller data table.
• This ArmorBlock-LP module has no switches to set. You set module parameters using the DeviceNet Manager Software (cat. no. 1787-MGR) or similar configuration tool.

European Union Directive Compliance

If this product is installed within the European Union or EEA regions and has the CE mark, the following regulations apply.

EMC Directive

• This apparatus is tested to meet Council Directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
• The product described in this manual is intended for use in an industrial environment.

Low Voltage Directive

This apparatus is also designed to meet Council Directive 73/23/EEC Low Voltage, by applying the safety requirements of EN 61131–2
Programmable Controllers, Part 2 – Equipment Requirements and Tests.

• Automation Systems Catalog, publication B111

Install Your ArmorBlock Module

Installation of the ArmorBlock module consists of:

• setting the node address and communication rate in the ArmorBlock module
• mounting the ArmorBlock module
• connecting the wiring
• communicating with your module

Set the Node Address

Each ArmorBlock comes with its internal program set for node address 63 and a communication rate of 125Kbps. 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)
• suitable cables to connect the 1770-KFD to your module and to connect the 1770-KFD to your host computer

Set up a system (as shown below) to communicate with your ArmorBlock module to set the node address and communication rate to meet your system requirements.

Mount the ArmorBlock Module

Mount the block module directly to the machine or device. Complete mounting dimensions are shown below

Mounting Dimensions

Connect the Wiring to the ArmorBlock Module

This module uses quick disconnect, screw-on style connectors for:

• I/O input wiring
• the DeviceNet connector

Seven micro plugs are included with your module. Use these plugs to cover and seal unused ports. Pinout diagrams for these connectors are shown below.
ATTENTION : Make sure all connectors are securely tightened to properly seal the connections against leaks and maintain IP67 requirements

Connecting the Input Wiring

Connect input wiring to the micro-connectors which screw into mating connectors on the front of the block

Make connections as shown below.

Use a splitter cable (or “Y” cable) to access signal B.

Connecting the DeviceNet Wiring

Connect DeviceNet wiring to the 5-pin mini-connector on the end of the block. Connections are shown below

Note : Colors are DeviceNet standard

Communicate with Your ArmorBlock Module

This ArmorBlock module’s I/O is exchanged with the master through a poll, bit strobe or change of state connection. When set for Polled, Bit Strobe, or change of state, the module consumes and produces as follows

• Polled device – a master initiates communication by sending its polled I/O message to the ArmorBlock module. The 16 input module scans the inputs and fault bit producing a response that reflects their status.
• Change of state – productions occur when an input changes or an input source voltage fault occurs. If neither has occurred within the “expected packet rate,” a heartbeat production occurs. This heartbeat production tells the scanner module that the ArmorBlock module is alive and ready to communicate.
• Bit Strobe device – a master initiates communication by sending its bit strobe I/O message. All bit strobed devices then respond. The 16 input module scans the inputs and fault bits, producing a response that reflects their status.

Refer to the table below for the word/bit definitions.

Troubleshoot with the Indicators

The ArmorBlock I/O module has the following indicators:

• Network status indicator (NS)
• Module status indicator (MS)
• Individual I/O status indicators (A, B)
• Power Status indicators
  • module power
  • sensor power
  • sensor short circuit

Note :This module contains a circuit to protect the DeviceNet power supply from short circuits in an attached sensor or sensor cable. If you connect a sensor while the module is powered, the surge current produced by the sensor can cause the module to fault. This operation is normal.
