Allen-Bradley 1732E-IB16M12DR ArmorBlock 16 Point Input

Allen-Bradley 1732E-IB16M12DR ArmorBlock 16 Point Input is an on-machine EtherNet/IP digital input block that provides 16 24V DC sinking input points for monitoring field devices such as sensors, pushbuttons, and switches. This DR variant features a dual-port Ethernet interface with M12 connectors, enabling rugged, daisy-chained network connections on demanding production floors. As part of the ArmorBlock I/O family, the module is designed for direct mounting on the machine to deliver discrete inputs without a separate control cabinet, and it includes built-in diagnostics to support input status and network health monitoring. Typical applications include start/stop and run signals, limit switches, and other 24V DC sensors on conveyors, presses, and assembly cells, all programmable and monitored via Rockwell Automation software within a cohesive ArmorBlock deployment. The 16-point input configuration is optimized for compact on-machine wiring while maintaining reliable Ethernet/IP communication and diagnostic capabilities essential for quick troubleshooting and uptime in automated manufacturing environments.
