The 1792D-16BVT0CD is a high-density input module from the ArmorBlock MaXum family, designed by Allen‑Bradley for distributed I/O applications. This unit provides 16 inputs per block and communicates through the DeviceNet network, ensuring smooth data exchange with controllers. It operates on a standard 24 V DC supply and supports both wire and dry contact devices. Furthermore, this module accepts PNP or NPN configurations, offering great flexibility for various sensor types. Its sealed housing carries an IP67 rating, which eliminates the need for an additional protective enclosure. Built-in diagnostics help users identify short circuits or open wires quickly. Therefore, the 1792D-16BVT0CD delivers reliable performance in demanding automation environments.
The 1792D-16BVT0CD offers versatile input configurations to match different field devices. It accepts 3 to 16 inputs per block for wire or dry contact PNP/NPN devices, and 4 to 8 inputs for standard PNP/NPN sensors. Each input provides a sensor source current of 50 mA, ensuring stable signal acquisition. The on-state voltage ranges from 10 to 25 V DC, while the on-state current sits between 2 and 10 mA. For off-state conditions, the voltage is 5 V DC for sinking devices, and the off-state current stays at 1.5 mA. Additionally, the module supports communication rates from 125 to 500 kbps, with maximum speed achievable at 100 meters cable length. The DeviceLogix capability enables basic logic processing locally, reducing master controller workload.
This I/O module weighs only 0.51 kg and features a rugged thermoplastic housing. The IP67 rating ensures complete protection against dust and temporary water immersion. Operating temperatures range from -25°C to 60°C, while storage allows -25°C to 80°C, accommodating extreme conditions. Wiring uses 14 to 22 AWG cables with insulation, providing secure and durable connections. The sealed design also resists vibration and shock, making it suitable for moving machinery. Furthermore, the 1792D-16BVT0CD eliminates the expense of external enclosures, reducing overall installation costs. These characteristics make it a preferred choice for outdoor installations and washdown areas.
Installing the 1792D-16BVT0CD is straightforward due to its integrated connectors. First, mount the unit securely onto a DIN rail or flat surface using its mounting holes. Next, connect the DeviceNet trunk cable to the network port, ensuring proper termination. Then, wire each input sensor to the corresponding terminals, respecting polarity for PNP or NPN types. Use the rotary addressing switch to assign a unique node ID before applying power. After that, energize the 24 V DC supply and check the status LEDs for normal operation. For diagnostics, the module reports faults like short circuits or open wires via the network. Meanwhile, DeviceLogix allows simple logic execution without a separate controller. Finally, verify all inputs respond correctly to field signals before commissioning.

International buyers are responsible for any applicable customs duties or taxes.
Q1: Can the 1792D-16BVT0CD mix PNP and NPN inputs on the same block?
A1: Yes, you can configure each input individually for PNP or NPN, but wiring polarity must match each channel's setting.
Q2: What is the maximum cable length for DeviceNet communication with this module?
A2: At 500 kbps, the maximum trunk length is 100 meters. At 125 kbps, it extends to 500 meters with thick cable.
Q3: Does the module require an external power supply for sensors?
A3: The 1792D-16BVT0CD provides 50 mA per input from its internal supply, but external power may be needed for high-current sensors.
Q4: How do I clear a short-circuit fault on the module?
A4: Correct the wiring issue first, then cycle power to the module. The diagnostic LED will reset automatically upon normal operation.
Q5: Is the 1792D-16BVT0CD compatible with older DeviceNet masters?
A5: Yes, it supports DeviceNet baud rates from 125 to 500 kbps, making it compatible with most legacy and modern masters.
