Chapter 1 Product Overview
Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the features and functionality of the
ArmorStart
® EtherNet/Industrial Protocol (IP) Distributed Motor Controllers,
Bulletin 280E, 281E, and 284E.
Description
The ArmorStart EtherNet/IP™ Distributed Motor Controllers are integrated,
pre-engineered, motor starting solutions. Bulletins 280E and 281E are used for
full-voltage and reversing applications, respectively. Bulletin 284E is used in
variable frequency applications where more precise motor control is needed. The
ArmorStart EtherNet/IP controller offers a robust IP67/UL Type 4/12
enclosure design, which is suitable for water wash down environments.
ArmorStart EtherNet/IP includes an embedded dual port switch that supports
device level ring (DLR) applications. It supports IEEE 1588 end-to-end
transparent clock. This allows synchronization within a distributed network of
devices. Transparent clocks in combination with enhanced or managed Ethernet
switches are able to adjust for network introduced timing delays and improve the
performance of motion applications.
The ArmorStart EtherNet/IP network address can be configured dynamically or
statically via the embedded Web Server. In addition, the controller’s IP address
can be manually set via three IP address switches found on the I/O section of the
device.
The controller’s embedded Web Server allows the user to check status,
diagnostics and perform simple device configuration using a standard web
browser. It also supports SMTP protocol which allows the user to configure the
device to send an alert e-mail of potential issues.
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is a modular “plug and play”
design that offers simplicity in wiring and installation. The quick disconnects for
the I/O, communications, and motor connections reduce the wiring time and
eliminate wiring errors. The controller offers, as standard, four configurable
(sink/source) DC inputs and two sourcing solid state outputs, to be used with
sensors and actuators respectively, for monitoring and controlling the application
process. The ArmorStart’s light-emitting diode (LED) status indication and
built-in diagnostics capabilities allow ease of maintenance and troubleshooting.
The optional Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) keypad configuration allows local start/
stop control.
An Add-on profile for ControlLogix® is available. Add-on profiles streamline the
programming and installation by eliminating the task of individually configuring
the device tags.
The copy and paste function allows easy configuration of multiple ArmorStarts
Controllers. RSLogix™ 5000 revision 17.01 or later is required to implement add-
on profile support.
