1738 ArmorPoint I/O

1738 ArmorPoint I/O is the foundation for the next generation of On-Machine™ products from Rockwell Automation. The architecture of ArmorPoint is based on the POINT I/O system and reuses the circuitry of the adapter and I/O designs. The system is IP67-compliant and other certifications necessary to provide a complete On-Machine solution. ArmorPoint I/O modules offer one to eight points per module. Choose from many different I/O types with connector choices of M8, M12, or M23 quick-disconnect terminations.

The I/O modules are interfaced to a network through a communication adapter, which includes a built-in power supply that converts incoming 24V dc power to 5V dc backplane power. The I/O modules receive power from the power supply through the backplane. ArmorPoint I/O offers flexibility, supporting up to 63 I/O modules per network node. A bus extension module allows for separation of modules on the same node.
