Module Features ArmorBlock analog I/O modules are interface modules that convert analog
signals to digital values for inputs and convert digital values to analog signals
for outputs. Controllers can then use these signals for control purposes.

By using the producer/consumer network model, ArmorBlock analog I/O

modules produce information when needed.

The modules have the following features:

• Multiple preset ranges of voltage or current inputs/outputs
• Process alarms and limits
• Overrange and underrange detection
• Digital filter for 1732E-IF4M12R

To learn more about module features, see Configurable Features for the Analog
Input and Output Modules on page 45.

You must use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application to configure these
features. For a detailed how-to-configure instructional guide, see the chapter,
Configure Your Analog Input and Output Modules on page 19.

Clamping limits the output from the analog module to remain within a range
configured by the controller, even when the controller commands an output
outside that range. This safety feature sets a high clamp and a low clamp.

Once clamps are determined for a module, any data received from the
controller that exceeds those clamps sets an appropriate limit alarm and
transitions the output to that limit but not beyond the requested value.

Clamping alarms can be disabled or latched on a per channel basis.

To learn how to set clamp limits, see Limits Configuration Tab on page 38.

Overrange and Underrange Detection

This feature detects when the input module is operating beyond limits set by
the input range. For example, if you are using the 1732E-IF4M12R module in
the 0V…10V input range and the module voltage increases to 11V, the
overrange detects this condition.

The table shows the input ranges of the input module and the lowest/highest
signal available in each range before the module detects an underrange/
overrange condition.
Lowest and Highest Signal for Overrange and Underrange Detection
Available Range Lowest Signal in Range Highest Signal in Range
0…20 mA 0 mA 20 mA
4…20 mA 4 mA 20 mA
0…10 V 0V 10 V
-10…10 V -10 V 10 V
0…5 V 0V 5V
-5…5 V -5 V 5V

Digital Filters The 1732E-IF4M12R module also supports a digital filter to smooth input data
noise transients on each input channel. This value specifies the time constant
for a digital first order lowpass filter on the input. It is specified in units of
milliseconds. A value of 0 disables the filter.

To learn more about digital filter, see page 46.

Chapter Summary In this chapter, you were introduced to the features of the analog input and
output modules.

Install Your ArmorBlock Module

Overview This chapter shows you how to install and wire the analog input and output
modules. The only tools you require are a screwdriver and drill.

Wire the Module 16

Install the Module To install the module:

• Set the network address
• Mount the module
• Connect I/O, Network, and Auxiliary cables to the module

Set the Network Address

The I/O block ships with the rotary switches set to 999 and DHCP enabled. To
change the network address, you can do one of the following:
• Adjust the node address switches on the front of the module.
• Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.
• Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.

The I/O block reads the switches first to determine if the switches are set to a
valid number. To set the network address:
1. Remove power.
2. Remove the switch dust caps.
3. Rotate the three (3) switches on the front of the module using a small
blade screwdriver.
4. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish
to use.
Valid settings range from 001…254.
5. Replace switch dust caps. Make sure not to over tighten.
6. Reapply power.
7. Record IP address on product label found on the side of enclosure.

Chapter 2 Install Your ArmorBlock Module

Set Network Address

Example shows network switches set at 2
163, which sets the module IP address to 0 4
192.168.1.163.

Note: You need to remove the protective 4

the address settings. 6

When the switches are set to a valid number, the I/O block’s IP address is
192.168.1.xxx, where xxx represents the number set on the switches. The I/O
block’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and default gateway address is set to
192.168.1.1.

When the I/O block uses the network address set on the switches, the I/O block
does not have a host name assigned to it or use any Domain Name Server.

If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater
than 254 excluding 888), the I/O block checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If
DHCP is enabled, the I/O block asks for an address from a DHCP server. The
DHCP server also assigns other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
(The modules are shipped with the network switches set to 999.)

If DHCP is not enabled, the I/O block uses the IP address (along with other
TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.

Network Address Switch value 001

The module IP address cannot be the same as the gateway address. If the
address switches are set to 001, the module IP address becomes 192.168.1.1,
which is the same as the default gateway address. In this case, the module
gateway address will be set to 0.0.0.0.

Default Factory Configuration

The switch value 888 resets the module to default factory configuration on
power up. The module will not operate properly when powered up with this
setting. The switches must be set to a different (and valid) value and then
power cycled after a reset.

While in reset state, the module LED flashes red and the network LED goes off.

Mount the Module Two sets of mounting holes are used to mount the module directly to a panel or
machine. Mounting holes accommodate #6 (M3) pan head screws. The torque
specification is 0.68 N•m (6 lb•in).

To mount the module on a wall or panel, use the screw holes provided in the
module. Refer to the drilling dimensions illustration to guide you in mounting
the module.

Edit Your 1732E-IF4M12R Studio 5000 Logix Designer application automatically creates module-defined
Configuration data types and tags when a module is created. This section describes how to
modify the default configuration for input modules.

Data types symbolically name module configuration, input and output data.
Tags let you provide each a unique name, such as where the user-defined data
type and slot reside on the controller. This information is used to
communicate data between the controller and module.

After you have set configuration for a module, you can review and change your
choices. You can change configuration data and download it to the controller
while online. This is called dynamic reconfiguration.

Your freedom to change some configurable features, though, depends on

whether the controller is in Remote Run Mode or Program Mode.

General Tab

The General tab allows you to edit general properties such as Name, IP
Address, and Description for your module. You also can edit Module
Definition properties such as revision, electronic keying, and data. To do so,
click Change.

Module Definition Fields

Field Name Description
Series Specifies the module series.
Revision Specifies the module’s major and minor revision.
The electronic keying feature automatically compares the expected module, as
shown in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application I/O Configuration tree, to the
physical module before
I/O communication begins. You can use electronic keying to help prevent
communication to a module that does not match the type and revision expected.
For each module in the I/O Configuration tree, the user-selected keying option
determines if, and how, an electronic keying check is performed.
Typically, three keying options are available:
• Exact Match
• Compatible Module (default value)
• Disable Keying
Exact Match is an electronic keying protection mode that requires the physical
Electronic Keying module and the module configured in the software to match according to vendor,
catalog number, major revision and minor revision.
Compatible Module indicates that the module determines whether to accept or
reject communication. Compatible Keying is the default setting. It allows the
physical module to accept the key of the module configured in the software,
provided that the configured module is one the physical module is capable of
emulating. The exact level of emulation required is product and revision specific.
Disable Keying indicates the keying attributes are not considered when
attempting to communicate with a module. Other attributes, such as data size and
format, are considered and must be acceptable before I/O communication is
established. With Disabled Keying, I/O communication may occur with a module
other than the type specified in the I/O configuration tree with unpredictable
results. We generally do not recommend using Disabled Keying.
Available options are Data, Input Only, Exclusive Owner, and Listen Only.
Calibration and Configuration options are not available for Listen Only option.
Input Only specifies an independent connection where a device receives inputs
from the target device and sends configuration data to the target device. An Input
Only connection does not send outputs; it only receives inputs. You can specify
multiple Input Only connections to the target device from different originators.
Exclusive Owner specifies an independent connection where a single device
controls the output states in the target device. If you have an existing Exclusive
Connection Owner connection to a target device, you cannot specify another Exclusive Owner
or Redundant connection to that same target device.
Listen Only specifies a dependent connection where a device receives inputs
from the target device, but does not send configuration data with the target
device. A Listen Only connection only functions properly when another non-Listen
Only connection exists to the same target device. A Listen Only connection does
not send outputs; it only receives inputs. You can specify multiple Listen Only
connections to the target device from different originators.

One of four points used in scaling. The low engineering helps determine the
engineering units the signal values scale into. The low engineering term corresponds
to the low signal value. The scaling equation used is as follows:

Chapter 3 Configure Your Analog Input and Output Modules

Edit Your 1732E-OF4M12R Studio 5000 Logix Designer application automatically creates module-defined
Configuration data types and tags when a module is created. This section describes how to
modify the default configuration for input modules.

Data types symbolically name module configuration, input and output data.
Tags let you provide each a unique name, such as where the user-defined data
type and slot reside on the controller. This information is used to
communicate data between the controller and module.

After you have set configuration for a module, you can review and change your
choices. You can change configuration data and download it to the controller
while online. This is called dynamic reconfiguration.

Your freedom to change some configurable features, though, depends on

whether the controller is in Remote Run Mode or Program Mode.

IMPORTANT Although you can change configuration while online, you must go
offline to add or delete modules from the project.

The editing process begins on the main page of Studio 5000 Logix Designer
application.
1. On the I/O Configuration tree for your project, right-click the name of
your module.

2. Select Properties. The Module Properties dialog appears and has the
following tabs available for configuration.

3. Click any of the tabs to edit the parameters for your module.
The next sections show you how to edit the different tabs in the Module
Properties dialog.
Tabs can be selected in any order. The following examples are for
instructional purposes.

General Tab

The General tab allows you to edit general properties such as Name, IP
Address, and Description for your module.

You also can edit Module Definition properties such as revision, electronic
keying, and data. To do so, click Change.

General Tab Field Description

Field Name Description
Series Specifies the module series.
Revision Specifies the module’s major and minor revision.
The electronic keying feature automatically compares the expected module, as
shown in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application I/O Configuration tree, to the
physical module before I/O communication begins. You can use electronic keying to
help prevent communication to a module that does not match the type and revision
expected.
For each module in the I/O Configuration tree, the user-selected keying option
determines if, and how, an electronic keying check is performed.
Typically, three keying options are available:
• Exact Match
• Compatible Module (default value)
• Disable Keying
Exact Match is an electronic keying protection mode that requires the physical
Electronic Keying module and the module configured in the software to match according to vendor,
catalog number, major revision and minor revision.
Compatible Module indicates that the module determines whether to accept or
reject communication. Compatible Keying is the default setting. It allows the
physical module to accept the key of the module configured in the software,
provided that the configured module is one the physical module is capable of
emulating. The exact level of emulation required is product and revision specific.
Disable Keying indicates the keying attributes are not considered when attempting
to communicate with a module. Other attributes, such as data size and format, are
considered and must be acceptable before I/O communication is established. With
Disabled Keying, I/O communication may occur with a module other than the type
specified in the I/O configuration tree with unpredictable results. We generally do
not recommend using Disabled Keying.
Available options are Data and Listen Only, with Data as default.
Calibration and Configuration options are not available for Listen Only option.
Listen Only specifies a dependent connection where a device receives inputs from
the target device, but does not send configuration data with the target device. A
Connection Listen Only connection only functions properly when another non-Listen Only
connection exists to the same target device. A Listen Only connection does not send
outputs; it only receives inputs. You can specify multiple Listen Only connections to
the target device from different originators.

analog input and output channels. It also includes the data structure for both
modules.

Your Analog Input and Output Modules, to learn more about the step-by-step
I/O configuration and setup process.

Configurable Features for The following features can be configured on each of the four channels for the
the 1732E-IF4M12R Input 1732E-IF4M12R module, unless otherwise specified.

Input Types and Ranges

Each of the four 1732E-IF4M12R input points can be configured as either

current input or voltage input, with current mode as default configuration.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM005B-EN-E - February 2022 45

Chapter 4 Configurable Features for the Analog Input and Output Modules

The user must do two things to use the input as a current or voltage device:
• Wire for the correct input type (see page 16)
• Configure accordingly through Studio 5000 Logix Designer application
(see page 29)

Current Mode

In current mode, the module supports either 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA input

currents independently for each channel, with the latter as default input range.

Voltage Mode

In voltage mode, the module supports both unipolar ranges of 0…10V and
0…5V, and bipolar ranges of ±5V and ±10V. The nominal common mode input
impedance per channel in voltage mode is 125 kΩ.

Digital Filters

The digital filter smooths input data noise transients for all channels on the
module. This feature is applied on a per channel basis. The digital filter value
specifies the time constant for a digital first order lowpass filter on the input.
It is specified in units of milliseconds. A value of 0 disables the filter.

The digital filter equation is a classic first order lag equation.

[t]
Yn = Yn-1 + (Xn - Yn - 1)
t + TA

Yn = Present output, filtered peak voltage (PV)

Yn-1 = Previous output, filtered PV
t = Module channel update time (seconds)
TA = Digital filter time constant (seconds)
Xn = Present input, unfiltered PV

Using a step input change to illustrate the filter response, as shown in the
illustration, you can see that when the digital filter time constant elapses,
63.2% of the total response is reached. Each additional time constant achieves
63.2% of the remaining response.

High engineering and low engineering values help determine the engineering
units the signal values scale into. The high engineering term corresponds to
the high signal value, while the low engineering term corresponds to the low
signal value. The scaling equation used is shown below.

(Signal-LowSignal)(HighEngineering-LowEngineering)

Real-time Sampling

This parameter instructs the module how often to scan its input channels and
obtain all available data. The data is produced at the rate configured by the RPI
parameter on the connection tab. This feature is applied on a module-wide
basis.

Process Alarms
Process alarms alert you when the module has exceeded configured high or
low limits for each channel. You can latch process alarms. These are set at four
user configurable alarm trigger points.
• High high

Output Types and Ranges

Each of the four 1732E-OF4M12R output points can be configured as either

current output or voltage output, with current mode as default configuration.

The user must do two things to use the output as a current or voltage device:
• Wire for the correct output type (see page 16)
• Configure accordingly through Studio 5000 Logix Designer application
(see page 37)

Current Mode

In current mode, the module supports either 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA output

currents independently for each channel, with the latter as default output
range.

Voltage Mode

In voltage mode, the module supports ranges of 0…5V, -5…+5V, 0…10V, or

-10…+10V, independently for each channel.

In voltage mode, the outputs are short circuit protected to 20 mA per channel.

High Engineering/Low Engineering

See High Engineering/Low Engineering on page 47.

Fault Mode and Program Mode

The module allows the user to set output states or behavior when in program
mode or fault mode, for each of the four channels. When in program mode the
user can define the following go-to transition behavior for each of the four
channels:
• Hold Last State – instructs the module to maintain last valid state
• Go to Low Clamp – defined in the Limits Configuration tab
• Go to High Clamp – defined in the Limits Configuration tab
• Use Program Value – user defined value in Studio 5000 Logix Designer
application

 Chapter 4 Configurable Features for the Analog Input and Output Modules

The user can define the following go-to transition behavior for each channel
when the module has a communication fault:
• Hold Last State
• Go to Low Clamp
• Go to High Clamp
• Use Fault Value – user defined fault value

Clamping/Limiting

Clamping limits the output from the analog module to remain within a range
configured by the controller, even when the controller commands an output
outside that range. This safety feature sets a high clamp and a low clamp. Once
clamps are determined for a module, any data received from the controller that
exceeds those clamps sets an appropriate limit alarm and transitions the
output to that limit but not beyond the requested value.

For example, an application may set the high clamp on a module for 8V and the
low clamp for -8V. If a controller sends a value corresponding to 9V to the
module, the module will only apply 8V to its screw terminals.

Clamping alarms can be disabled or latched on a per channel basis.

To set clamping limits using Studio 5000 Logix Designer application, go to

page 38.

Clamp/Limit Alarms

This function works directly with clamping. When a module receives a data
value from the controller that exceeds clamping limits, it applies signal values
to the clamping limit but also sends a status bit to the controller notifying it
that the value sent exceeds the clamping limits.

Using the example above, if a module has clamping limits of 8V and -8V but
then receives data to apply 9V, only 8V is applied to the screw terminals and the
module sends a status bit back to the controller informing it that the 9V value
exceeds the module’s clamping limits.

page 38.

Calibrate Your Modules

Overview The modules are shipped to you calibrated. This chapter shows you how to
calibrate your modules through the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application
should you choose to recalibrate to increase module accuracy for your specific
application.
Topic Page
Difference of Calibrating an Input Module and an Output Module 53
Calibrate the Input Module (1732E-IF4M12R) 54
Calibrate the Output Module (1732E-OF4M12R) 57

IMPORTANT The analog input module can be calibrated on a channel-by-channel

basis or with the channels grouped together, while the output module
only allows for channels to be calibrated one at a time. Regardless of
which option you choose, we recommend you calibrate all channels on
your module each time you calibrate. This will help you maintain
consistent calibration readings and improve module accuracy.
Calibration is meant to correct any hardware inaccuracies that may be
present on a particular channel. The calibration procedure compares a
known standard, either input signal or recorded output, with the
channel’s performance and then calculating a linear correction factor
between the measured and the ideal.
The linear calibration correction factor is applied on every input or
output same to obtain maximum accuracy.

Difference of Calibrating an Although the purpose of calibrating analog modules is the same for input and
Input Module and an Output output modules, to improve the module’s accuracy and repeatability, the
procedures involved differs for each.
Module
• When you calibrate input modules, you use current or voltage calibrators
to send a signal to the module to calibrate it.
• When you calibrate output modules, you use a digital multimeter (DMM)
to measure the signal the module is sending out.

To maintain your module’s accuracy specifications, we recommend you use

calibration instruments with specific ranges. The table lists the recommended
instruments for each module.
m

Module Recommended Instrument Range

-10V…+10V source
±500 µV accuracy
1732E-IF4M12R 0…20 mA source
±2 µA accuracy
1732E-OF4M12R DMM accurate to within ±500 µV or ±2 µA

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM005B-EN-E - February 2022 53

Chapter 5 Calibrate Your Modules

IMPORTANT Do not calibrate your module with an instrument that is less accurate
than those recommended to avoid anomalies.
• Calibration appears to occur normally but the module gives inaccurate
data during operation.
• A calibration fault occurs, forcing you to abort calibration.
• The calibration fault bits are set for the channel you attempted to
calibrate. The bits remain set until a valid calibration is completed.
• In this case, you must recalibrate the module with an instrument as
accurate as recommended.

Calibrate in Program or Run Mode

You must be online to calibrate your analog I/O modules by using Studio 5000
Logix Designer application. When you are online, choose Program mode as the
state of your program during calibration.

IMPORTANT The module freezes the state of each channel and does not update the
controller with new data until after the calibration ends. This could be
hazardous if active control were attempted during calibration.

Calibrate the Input Module Input calibration is a multi-step process that involves multiple services being
(1732E-IF4M12R) sent to the module.

The 1732E-IF4M12R module is used in applications requiring voltage or

current. The module offers the following input ranges:
• -10…10V
• 0…10V
• 0…5V
• -5…5V
• 0…20 mA
• 4…20 mA

IMPORTANT Apply power to the power supply and module for at least 10 minutes
before calibrating the module.

While you are online, you must access the Calibration tab on the Module
Properties dialog box through Studio 5000 Logix Designer application.

Follow these steps to calibrate your module.

Check for Faults In addition to the status indicators on the module, Studio 5000 Logix Designer
application alerts you to fault and other conditions in one of three ways:
• Warning signal on the main screen next to the module – This occurs
when the connection to the module is broken.

Warning icon appears when a

communications fault occurs
or if the module is inhibited

Warning signal – The module has a communications fault

66 Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM005B-EN-E - February 2022

 Chapter 6 Troubleshoot the Modules

• Message in a screen’s status line.

Status line provides information

on the module fault and on the
connection to the module

• Notification in the Tag Monitor – General module faults are also reported
in the Tag Monitor. Communication faults are reported in the input tags.

Studio 5000 Logix Designer application

generates 1 s in response to a module
communication fault.
In this example, a communication fault
occurred between the controller and the
module, so the controller automatically
writes 1 s for all bits in the word.
