Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1732DS-IB8XOBV4 is an ArmorBlock Guard I/O DeviceNet safety module that combines eight safety-rated inputs, four solid-state bi-polar outputs, and eight test outputs in a compact, rugged package. Featuring IP67 protection, M12 I/O connectors, and MINI DeviceNet connectors, this module is ideal for on-machine decentralized safety control. The ArmorBlock Guard I/O are hardened, low cost I/O modules that are designed for field or on-machine installations. This module may be mounted close to the sensor and actuating devices to minimize cable layout and installation.
Key Features
- Safety-Rated I/O: Eight safety-rated inputs, four solid-state bi-polar outputs, and eight test outputs – all certified for functional safety up to SIL 3
- DeviceNet Communication: DeviceNet interface. When utilizing the DeviceNet interface, drop length shall not exceed 5.7 m or 19 ft.
- Current Ratings: Maximum and minimum current rating of 25 and 5 mA, respectively. This safety module also comes standard with short circuit protection and it has a current-sinking and current-sourcing input and output type.
