ARMORSTART®
ETHERNET/IP DISTRIBUTED
MOTOR CONTROLLER
Getting Started
BULLETIN 280E, 281E AND 284E
Introduction
This guide provides the basic information required to start up an
®
ArmorStart
Controller. For detailed information on specific product features or
configurations, refer to the ArmorStart EtherNet/IP user manual,
Publication 280E-UM001*.
The user should have a clear understanding of EtherNet/IP™ network
operations, including how slave devices operate on a network and
communicate with other devices and the controller. Also, the user should
be familiar with and have access to RSLogix 5000™ revision 17.01 or later.
This programming software package is referred to often in this manual.
EtherNet/Industrial Protocol (IP) Distributed Motor
ATTENTION: This guide is intended for qualified service
personnel responsible for setting up and servicing these devices.
The user must have previous experience with and a basic
understanding of electrical terminology, configuration procedures,
required equipment, and safety precautions.

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.

ArmorStart EtherNet/IP utilizes 24V DC control power for communications
and I/O. The control power terminal connections are labeled A1,A2, and A3.
Switched power will supply the outputs. Unswitched power will supply logic
power and sensor inputs. The diagram below provides the user an example of the
internal and external connections for proper operation.

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.
