Allen-Bradley 1732DIB8M12 ArmorBlock DeviceNet Digital Input Block

Eight 24V DC digital inputs are housed in the Allen-Bradley ArmorBlock form factor, model 1732DIB8M12, delivering a compact on-machine input block for DeviceNet networks. This block uses M12 field-wiring and DeviceNet data connectors, enabling a streamlined, single-module interface between sensors and the control system. Encased in an IP67-rated ArmorBlock enclosure, it is designed for harsh environments such as washdown areas, dusty production lines, and close-to-sensor deployments on conveyors, packaging lines, robotic cells, and material-handling equipment. With eight discrete digital inputs, it supports common 24V DC sensors like proximity switches and photoelectric sensors, allowing real-time monitoring of machine states directly at the point of use. As part of the ArmorBlock I/O family, the 1732DIB8M12 integrates with other ArmorBlock devices to form a rugged, distributed DeviceNet I/O network and conveys input statuses to the controller without relying on bulky centralized cabinets.
