Allen-Bradley 5032-8IOLM12M12LDR ArmorBlock IO Module

Allen-Bradley ArmorBlock 5000 8-channel IO-Link Master Module, part number 5032-8IOLM12M12LDR, is an on‑machine IO-Link master block that bridges IO-Link devices to a Rockwell Automation EtherNet/IP network while coexisting with ArmorBlock digital I/O. It provides eight IO‑Link master channels (one per port) and exposes 12 Type‑3 sinking inputs plus 16 sourcing outputs through the ArmorBlock I/O network, enabling integrated sensor/actuator signaling alongside conventional digital I/O. The module includes two M12 D‑coded Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) for connection to a ControlLogix/CompactLogix controller and two M12 L‑coded power ports to supply MSA and LA power, all housed in a compact enclosure measuring about 200 x 60 x 35.1 mm and weighing roughly 0.29 kg. Electrical characteristics specify separate minimum voltages by function: 20 V DC minimum for IO‑Link master mode and 18 V DC minimum for digital I/O mode, with a maximum of 30 V DC; current ratings include up to 100 mA @ 24 V DC for MSA power and 20 mA @ 24 V DC for LA power, with higher daisy‑chain capability between stages. Galvanic isolation is 50 V continuous between the MSA power and field Ethernet connectors, while no isolation exists between individual I/O channels. Status indicators cover module, network, link, channel, and power to aid diagnostics, and the unit supports horizontal, vertical, and inverted mounting orientations for flexible panel layouts.
