General Precautions
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following
statements, which are general to the system, must be read and understood.
ATTENTION: The controller contains ESD (electrostatic discharge)
sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are
required when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing the
assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static
control procedures, refer to Publication 8000-4.5.2, Guarding
against Electrostatic Discharge, or any other applicable ESD
protection handbooks.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed controller can
damage components or reduce product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC
supply, or excessive ambient temperatures, may result in
malfunction of the system.
Precautions for Bulletin 280E/281E Applications
Precautions for Bulletin 284E Applications
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with the controller and
associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to do
this may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: To prevent electrical shock, open disconnect switch
prior to connecting and disconnecting cables. Risk of shock –
environment rating may not be maintained with open receptacles.
ATTENTION: The drive contains high voltage capacitors which
take time to discharge after removal of mains supply. Before
working on drive, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs
(R, S, T [L1, L2, L3]). Wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge
to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
or death. Darkened display light-emitting diode (LED)s are not an
indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
Risk of shock – environment rating may not be maintained with
open receptacles.

Group Motor Installations for USA and Canada Markets
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor controllers are listed for use with each other
in group installations per NFPA 79, Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery.
When applied according to the group motor installation requirements, two or
more motors, of any rating or controller type, are permitted on a single branch
circuit. Group Motor Installation has been successfully used for many years in the
USA and Canada.
Wiring and Workmanship Guidelines
In addition to conduit and seal-tite raceway, it is acceptable to utilize cable that is
dual rated Tray Cable, Type TC-ER and Cord, STOOW, for power and control
wiring on ArmorStart installations. In the USA and Canada installations, the
following guidance is outlined by the NEC and NFPA 79.
In industrial establishments where the conditions of maintenance and
supervision ensure that only qualified persons service the installation, and where
the exposed cable is continuously supported and protected against physical
damage using mechanical protection, such as struts, angles, or channels, Type TC
tray cable that complies with the crush and impact requirements of Type MC
(Metal Clad) cable and is identified for such use with the marking Type TC-ER
(Exposed Run)* shall be permitted between a cable tray and the utilization
Publication 280E-QS001B-EN-P – February 2011
12 ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller Getting Started
equipment or device as open wiring. The cable shall be secured at intervals not
exceeding 1.8 m (6 ft) and installed in a “good workman-like” manner.
Equipment grounding for the utilization equipment shall be provided by an
equipment grounding conductor within the cable.
*Historically cable meeting these crush and impact requirements were designated
and marked “Open Wiring”. Cable so marked is equivalent to the present Type
TC-ER and can be used.
While the ArmorStart is intended for installation in factory floor environments
of industrial establishments, the following must be taken into consideration when
locating the ArmorStart in the application: Cables, including those for control
voltage including 24V DC and communications, are not to be exposed to an
operator or building traffic on a continuous basis. Location of the ArmorStart to
minimize exposure to continual traffic is recommended. If location to minimize
traffic flow is unavoidable, other barriers to minimize inadvertent exposure to the
cabling should be considered. Routing cables should be done in such a manner to
minimize inadvertent exposure and/or damage.
Additionally, if conduit or other raceways are not used, it is recommended that
strain relief fittings be utilized when installing the cables for the control and
power wiring through the conduit openings.
The working space around the ArmorStart may be minimized as the ArmorStart
does not require examination, adjustment, servicing or maintenance while
energized. In lieu of this service, the ArmorStart is meant to be unplugged and
replaced after proper lockout/tag-out procedures have been employed.
The Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) is a factory installed option that the user may select.
The HOA keypad may require the ArmorStart to be selected and installed as
follows if the application requires frequent use of the hand operated interface by
the equipment operator:
1. They are not less than 0.6 m (2 ft) above the servicing level and are within
easy reach of the normal working position of the operator.
2. The operator is not placed in a hazardous situation when operating them.
3. The possibility of inadvertent operation is minimized.
If the operated interface is used in industrial establishments where the conditions
of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons operate and
service the ArmorStart's operator interface, and the installation is located so that
inadvertent operation is minimized then other installation locations with
acceptable access can be provided.

AC Supply Considerations for Bulletin 284E Units
Ungrounded and High Resistive Distribution Systems
ATTENTION: The Bulletin 284E contains protective Metal Oxide
Varistors (MOV)s that are referenced to ground. These devices
should be disconnected if the Bulletin 284E is installed on an
ungrounded and high resistive distribution system.
Disconnecting MOVs
To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground must be disconnected
if the drive is installed on an ungrounded and high resistive distribution system
where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the
nominal line-to-line voltage. To disconnect the MOVs, remove the jumper shown
in Figure 24, Jumper Removal.
1. Before installing the Bulletin 284E, loosen four mounting screws.
2. Unplug control module from the base unit by pulling forward.

Configuring EtherNet/IP Address
Before using the ArmorStart you may need to configure an IP address, subnet
mask, and optional Gateway address. The rotary network address switches found
on the I/O section of the ArmorStart are set to 999 and DHCP is enabled as the
factory default. The ArmorStart reads these switches first to determine if the
switches are set to a valid IP address between 1…254. When switches are set to a
valid number the IP address will be 192.168.1._ _ _ [switch setting].
The IP address can also be set using DHCP or BootP.
• If BootP is preferred, use Rockwell Automation BootP utility, version 2.3
or later, that ships with RSLogix™ 5000 or RSLinx® software.
• If DHCP is preferred, use a third party DHCP server.
This document assumes the user has set the IP address to 192.168.1.1. The user
can change this IP address to any address either statically or dynamically.
ATTENTION: To avoid unintended operation, the adapter must be
assigned a fixed IP address. If a DHCP server is used, it must be
configured to assign a fixed IP address for your adapter.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended
machine motion or loss of process control.
Manually Configure the Network Address Switches
Remove the protective caps from the rotary switches. Set the network address by
adjusting the three switches on the front of the I/O module.
Figure 25 – Switches on the I/O Module
Publication 280E-QS001B-EN-P – February 2011
18 ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller Getting Started
This example shows the
IP address set to 163.
Factory Setting 99
DO NOT CHANGE
IMPORTANT
Figure 26 – Network Address Example
The adapter’s subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to
0.0.0.0. A power cycle is required for any new IP address to take effect.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (such as 000 or a value greater than
254), the adapter will check to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the
adapter requests an address from a DHCP server. If DHCP is not enabled, the
adapter will use the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters)
stored in non-volatile memory.

Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP Utility
Publication 280E-QS001B-EN-P – February 2011
Refer to Figure 27, the ArmorStart is shipped with the control module
rotary switches set to a value of 99. DO NOT modify this setting. If
these are changed and the unit stops responding, the switches will need
to be manually set to node address 63 and power cycled.
The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a stand alone program that
incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user friendly
graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix5000
installation CD. The ArmorStart EtherNet/IP adapter must have DHCP
enabled (factory default) to use the utility.
ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller Getting Started 19
IMPORTANT
DHCP IP Support
Using the Rockwell Automation Embedded Web Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns
IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.
When DHCP is enabled (factory default Enabled), the unit will request its
network configuration from a DHCP/BOOTP server. Any configuration
received from a DHCP server will be stored in non-volatile memory.
ArmorStart EtherNet/IP will remember the last successful address if DHCP is
enabled. The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP
address, which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the
ControlLogix® controller.
Internal Web Server
ArmorStart Ethernet/IP internal web server allows you to view information and
configure the ArmorStart via a web browser. The embedded web server is used to
access configuration and status data. Security in the form of an administrative
password can be set. The default Login is Administrator. There is no password
set by default.
Caution: The user should set the password to a unique value for
authorized personnel. If the Login and password are lost you will need
to reset the device to factory defaults losing its configuration.
To access the internal web browser, open your computers internet browser and
enter the IP address of the desired ArmorStart (192.168.1.1).

view and modify the device configuration without having to access RSLogix 5000.
To view the device configuration from the web server, select the Parameters
folder. For the parameter configuration, the user will login through the
Administrative Settings or when prompted.
E-mail Notification Configuration
ArmorStart Ethernet/IP internal web server will support the e-mailing of
warning and trip messages via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The
configuration parameters for the SMTP Server’s IP address, user login, and port
number are configurable through the Administrative Settings page of the internal
web server. The user will configure the device name, device description, and
device trip type.
Figure 29 – E-mail Notification Configuration
Publication 280E-QS001B-EN-P – February 2011
E-mail triggers:
– When a trip occurs.
– When a trip is cleared.
– When a warning occurs.
– When a warning is cleared.
Note: “Cleared Event” e-mails will only be sent when all events have been cleared
and if an trip event e-mail has previously been sent. For example, if the device is
configured to send e-mails when a phase loss trip is detected and an overload trip
is detected, no e-mail will be sent when the overload is cleared.

Introduction
The purpose of this section is to assist in troubleshooting the ArmorStart®
Distributed Motor Controller using the LED Status Display and diagnostic
parameters.
ATTENTION: Servicing energized industrial control equipment can be
hazardous. Electrical shock, burns or unintentional actuation of controlled
industrial equipment may cause death or serious injury. For safety of
maintenance personnel as well as others who might be exposed to
electrical hazards associated with maintenance activities, follow the local
safety related work practices (for example, the NFPA70E, Part II in the
United States). Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety
practices, procedures, and requirements that pertain to their respective
job assignments.
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to defeat or override fault circuits. The
cause of the fault indication must be determined and corrected before
attempting operation. Failure to correct a control system of mechanical
malfunction may result in personal injury and /or equipment damage due
to uncontrolled machine system operation.
ATTENTION: The drive contains high voltage capacitors that take time to
discharge after removal of mains supply. Before working on drive, ensure
isolation of mains supply from line inputs (R, S, T, [L1, L2, L3]). Wait three
minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury or death.
Darkened display LEDs is not an indication that capacitors have
discharged to safe voltage levels.

ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency
AC drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure
to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: This drive contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) –
sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required
when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing this assembly. Component
damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are
not familiar with static control procedures, refer to Allen-Bradley
®
Publication 8000-4.5.2, Guarding against Electrostatic Damage, or any
other applicable ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as undersizing of the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC
supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of
the system.

Bulletin 284E Troubleshooting
Fault Definitions
Some of the Bulletin 284E ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller faults are
detected by the internal hardware of the ArmorStart, while others are detected by
the internal drive. For internal drive faults, the internal hardware of the
ArmorStart simply polls the drive for the existence of faults and reports the fault
state. No fault latching is done by the internal hardware of the ArmorStart for
these faults. The PrFlt ResetMode parameter (Parameter 23) determines the
Auto Resettability of only the faults that are detected on the main control board.
The Auto Resettability of the faults that are detected in the internal drive is
controlled by internal drive parameters, refer to Table 9. The following flowchart
for Bulletin 284E units, is provided to aid in quick troubleshooting.

Internal Drive Faults
A fault is a condition that stops the drive. There are two fault types.
Type Description
1 Auto-Reset/Run
When this type of fault occurs, Parameter 192 (Auto Rstrt Tries) and related
Parameter(s): 155, 193 are set to a value greater than 0, a user-configurable timer,
Parameter 193 (Auto Rstrt Delay) and related Parameter(s): 192, begins. When the
timer reaches zero, the drive attempts to automatically reset the fault. If the
condition that caused the fault is no longer present, the fault will be reset and the
drive will be restarted
2 Non-Resettable
This type of fault may require drive or motor repair, or is caused by wiring or
programing errors. The cause of the fault must be corrected before the fault can be
cleared.
Automatically Clearing Faults (Option/Step)
Clear a Type 1 Fault and Restart the Drive:
1. Set Parameter 192 (Auto Rstrt Tries) to a value other than 0.
2. Set Parameter 193 (Auto Rstrt Delay) to a value other than 0.
Clear an Overvoltage, Undervoltage or Heatsink OvrTmp Fault without
Restarting the Drive:
1. Set Parameter 192 (Auto Rstrt Tries) to a value other than 0.
2. Set Parameter 193 (Auto Rstrt Delay) to 0.
Auto Restart (Reset/Run)
The Auto Restart feature provides the ability for the drive to automatically
perform a fault reset followed by a start attempt without user or application
intervention. This allows remote or unattended operation. Only certain faults are
allowed to be reset. Certain faults (Type 2) that indicate possible drive
component malfunction are not resettable. Caution should be used when
enabling this feature, since the drive will attempt to issue its own start command
based on user selected programming.
