ArmorBlock 4 Output Module 9 Connecting the Output Wiring Connect individual output wiring to micro connectors which screw into mating connectors on the side of the block. Make connections as shown below. I/O Output Micro Connector Pin 1 = Not used 4 Pin 2 = Not used 1 3 Pin 3 = Negative 2 Pin 4 = Output (View into socket) Connect the output power wiring to the 3-pin mini connector on the end of the block. Important: The outputs use electronic overcurrent fault protection.
ArmorBlock 4 Output Module Communicate with Your ArmorBlock Module This ArmorBlock module acts as a slave in a master/slave environment. It is both a “polled device” and a “change of state device.” When configured as a polled device, a master initiates communication by sending its polled I/O message to the ArmorBlock module. The 4 output module consumes the message, updates outputs, and returns the status of the output bits.
