The ArmorBlock I/O family provides a low-cost, hardened, digital I/O product suitable for On-Machine™ use. Water- and corrosion-proof, it can mount anywhere on a machine (without a control cabinet) allowing OEMs and Manufacturing Plants to reduce installation and operating costs. 

In addition, ArmorBlock I/O can mount close to sensors and actuators offering shorter cable runs and reduced wiring costs.

ArmorBlock I/O is available in eight and sixteen-point self-configuring versions for any mix of input and output, such as seven inputs and one output, or eleven inputs and five outputs.The ArmorBlock I/O is best suited for automotive, material handling and semiconductor applications or for machinery applications where diagnostics and local control are not needed.

It also works in conjunction with Integrated Architecture Builder, a graphical tool designed to help in the configuration and quoting of Logix control systems.
