Wiring Your ArmorStart Controllers
This section provides information pertaining to wiring your ArmorStart distributive motor controller.
General Precautions
The controller contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing the assembly. Component damage
may result if the ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, refer to Guarding Against Electrostatic Discharge, publication 8000-SB001
protection documents.
An incorrectly applied or installed controller can damage components or reduce product life. Wiring or
application errors, such as an undersized motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures, may result in malfunction of the system.
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 so may result in personal
injury and equipment damage.
, or any other ESD
Additional Precautions for the Bulletin 284 Devices
The ArmorStart device contains high-voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removel of
mains supply. Before working on an ArmorStart device, help ensure isolation of mains supply from line
inputs [R, S, T (L1, L2, and L3)]. Wait at least three minutes for the capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage
level. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display indicators are not an
indication that the capacitors have discharged to safe levels.
Only qualified personnel familiar with ArmorStart devices and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to do so may result
in personal injury and equipment damage.

ArmorStart Device Wiring
Wiring in an industrial control application can be divided into three groups; power, control, and signal.
Follow these recommendations for physical separation between these to reduce the coupling effect:
• Minimum spacing between different wire groups in the same tray should be 16 cm (6 in.).
• Run wire outside an enclosure conduit or have shielding or armor with equivalent attenuation.
• Run different wire groups in separate conduits.
• Minimum spacing between conduits containing different groups should be 8 cm (3 in.).

AC Supply Considerations for Bulletin 284 Units
This section describes AC supply considerations for Bulletin 284 units.
Ungrounded and High-resistive Distribution Systems
The Bulletin 284 device contains protective metal oxide variables (MOVs) that are referenced to ground.
These devices should be disconnected if the Bulletin 284 device is installed on an ungrounded and
high-resistive distribution system.
Disconnect MOVs
To prevent device damage, the MOVs connected to ground must be disconnected if the device 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, follow this procedure to remove
the jumper.
1. Loosen the four mounting screws before installing the Bulletin 284 device.
2. Unplug the started module from the base unit by pulling forward.
Do not remove this jumper if the unit is equipped with an EMI filter installed.
The EMI Filter option is required if the Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller must be
CE-compliant. If the EMI Filter is selected, a 3 meter shielded 4-conductor cordset is provided as standard.

Group Motor Installations For North American and Canadian 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 North America and
Canada.
Cabling and Installation Guidelines
In addition to conduit and seal-tight raceway, it is acceptable to use cable that is dual rated Tray Cable, Type
TC-ER and Cord, STOOW, for power and control wiring on ArmorStart installations. In North America and
Canada installations, the following guidelines are outlined by the NEC and NFPA 79.
In industrial environments where the conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified
personnel service the installation, and where the exposed cable is continuously supported and protected
against physical damage by using mechanical protection, such as struts, angles, or channels, Type TC tray
cable that complies with the crush and impact requirements of type metal clad (MC) cable and is identified
for such use with the marking type TC-ER (Exposed Run) shall be permitted between a cable tray and the
use 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 use equipment shall be provided by
an equipment grounding conductor within the cable.
Cables meeting these crush and impact requirements were designated and marked ‘Open Wiring’. Cable
marked this way is equivalent to the present Type TC-ER and can be used.
Refer to the following when installing the ArmorStart device in factory floor environments of industrial
applications.
Cables, including those for control voltage including 24V DC and communication, are not to be exposed to
an operator or building traffic on a continuous basis. Locate the ArmorStart device to minimize exposure to
continual traffic is recommended. If the 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, we recommend that strain relief fittings be used when
installing the cables for the control and power wiring through the conduit openings.
The working space around the ArmorStart device may be minimized as the ArmorStart device does not
require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized. In lieu of this service, the
ArmorStart device is meant to be unplugged and replaced after proper lockout and tag-out procedures have
been employed.
54 Publication IASIMP-QS015C-EN-P - August 2011
System Layout and Wiring Chapter 2
Since the ArmorStart device is available with a factory installed HOA keypad option, this may require the
ArmorStart device to be selected and installed as follows. If the application requires frequent use of the
hand-operated interface by the equipment operator:
• they should not be less than 0.6 m (2 ft) above the servicing level and are within easy reach of the
normal working position of the operator.
• the operator is not placed in a hazardous situation when operating them.
• the possibility of inadvertent operation is minimized.
If the operated interface is used in industrial environments where the conditions of maintenance and
supervision ensure that only qualified persons operate and service the ArmorStart operator interface, and the
installation is located so that inadvertent operation is minimized, then other installation locations with
acceptable access can be provided.
DeviceNet Network Installation
The ArmorStart distributed motor controller contains the equivalent of 0.76 m (30 in) of DeviceNet drop
cable's electrical characteristics and therefore 0.76 m (30 in) of drop cable must be included in the DeviceNet
drop cable budget for each ArmorStart controller in addition to actual drop cable required for the
installation.
The separation of the control power and DeviceNet power is recommended as a good design practice. This
minimizes the load on the DeviceNet supply, and prevents transients which may be present on the control
power system from influencing the communication controls.

Chapter 2 System Layout and Wiring
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The following guidelines are provided for EMC installation compliance.
General Notes for Bulletin 284 Devices
• The motor cable should be kept as short as possible to avoid electromagnetic emission as well as
capacitive currents
• Conformity of the device with CE EMC requirements does not guarantee an entire machine
installation complies with CE EMC requirements. Many factors can influence total machine and
installation compliance.
• Using an EMI filter with any ArmorStart device rating, may result in relatively high-ground leakage
currents. Therefore, the filter must only be used in installations and solidly grounded (bonded) to the
building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible cables and should not include
any form of plug or socket that would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require
redundant ground connections. The integrity of all connections should be periodically checked.
Ground the ArmorStart Controller
Connect a grounding conductor to the terminal provided as standard on each ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Controller.

Chapter 4 ArmorStart Local Control Configuration
DeviceLogix Programming Example
This example is a combination of different modes that can be used together in an application for the 284D
ArmorStart device. A logic controller ladder logic program is controlling the ArmorStart device (auto
control). In the event of an I/O connection fault, the external push buttons (manual control) will be allowed
to control the ArmorStart and local I/O. A tripped condition, whether in manual or auto control, will
provide a status indication of a trip using a stack light (controlled by output A). An IO Connection fault is
also indicated on the same stack light. In an IO Connection fault, the stack light will be steady state. If both
happen, the stack light will remain solid. In addition to the fault or tripped indication on the stack light, a
second stack light is used to indicate the ArmorStart device is given a run command either from the PLC
processor or the push buttons. Drive input 1 is used to command the preset speed of the drive in manual
control.
DeviceLogix Example
The automatic (PLC processor) controlled portion of the DeviceLogix example shows the network input 0
and IO Connection fault negated to provide an output. The Boolean OR gate is in place for a second input
that is used later in the example. If there is an IO Connection fault, the PLC processor will not be able to
control the DeviceNetLogix device.
84 Publication IASIMP-QS015C-EN-P - August 2011
ArmorStart Local Control Configuration Chapter 4
Network Input 0 Logic
If there is an IO Connection fault, manual operation from a pendant station or other push buttons will be
allowed. In this example, input 1 of the Boolean OR gate is used for the PLC control. In manual control,
input 0 could be from a sensor on a conveyor belt in which after manually starting the conveyor using a
pendant station, the product will pass the sensor. After a user selected count, the conveyor motor will stop
until another start command is given. Multiple sensors can be used along with logic to start and stop the
motor.
Input 1 Logic
The program also shows one of the ways in which a fault or trip can be programmed via the DeviceLogix
program. For example, a flashing stack light can be an indication of a fault or trip.

TIP
IMPORTANT
Modify ArmorStart Add-On Instruction for Equipment Status Faceplate
This is an optional step and necessary only if you intend to use the Equipment Status Faceplate. To skip this
step, go to Integrate ArmorStart AOI into Your Application Program Routines
To incorporate Equipment Status Faceplate into your application, make sure the PanelView Plus terminal
supports 800x600 window size.
The ME Equipment Status Faceplate files let you quickly load and configure a summary display of
pre-configured status and diagnostic displays or faceplates for FactoryTalk View Machine Edition software.
The Equipment Status Faceplate works in conjunction with individual device faceplates and provides a single
summary display of all the faceplates that may be configured for an application. You can configure up to nine
device faceplates to run with the Equipment Status faceplate and you can launch each device faceplate
directly from it.
on page 96.
This example shows the Equipment Status Faceplate that you can add to your specific hardware system
display. This faceplate is configured for three rows or three devices and provides overall status of the device,
up to four additional status values to be monitored, and can launch the individual device faceplates for more
detailed information.
Example of Equipment Status Display Configured with Three Device Faceplates
You can launch these faceplates
from the Goto buttons.
Follow these steps to modify your
ArmorStart Add-On Instruction by
using the Equipment Status
Faceplate and the ArmorStart
device you just configured.
1. Determine how many of the nine available rows you will use on the Equipment Status faceplate and
which device faceplate you will assign to each row.

Chapter 5 Faceplate Logix Integration
2. Set the tag Inp_NumRowsVis for your ArmorStart Add-On Instruction to the number of rows that you
will use on the Equipment Status Faceplate.
a. Under the Add-On Instructions folder in the system tree,
double-click the ArmorStart Add-On Instruction that you will
use for the device in row 1.
b. Under the Parameters tab, find the Inp_NumRowsVis tag and
check the Vis box to make the tag visible on the AOI.
This tag only needs to be set for the Add-On Instruction used
in row 1 of the faceplate.
The default number of rows, ‘Inp_NumRowsVis’ is set to 9. You can change the number of rows
displayed here by changing the default, or edit the field directly on the Add-On Instruction when
creating your ladder rungs.
Integrate ArmorStart AOI into Your Application Program Routines
Follow these steps to add ArmorStart Add-On Instruction into your application program routines for each
of your ArmorStart devices that you have configured.
1. Open the intended program routine.
2. Create a rung.
3. Click the Add-On Instruction tab.

4. Select the ArmorStart Add-On Instruction.
TIP
In this example, the ArmorStart_284_AOI file is selected.
5. Assign an ArmorStart Data Type tag to the main AOI tag
with the same name of the module you want to control
and monitor.
In this example the tag name is Motor_with_284.
6. Right-click the tag and associate Motor_with_284 tag with
the ArmorStart_284_AOI Data Type.
7. Right click the Inp_ArmorStart_284 tag
and select the module Input tag for the
Add-On Instruction file you configured
previously.

9. Enter the Inp_Scaled_Speed_At_xxxx value.
The Add-On Instruction scales the drive input and output speed values based on the value entered.
To access the fault codes for the ArmorStart device, you need to get an explicit message. Fault_Msg
parameter is of the data type message. It needs to be connected to the Explicit Message tag already in the
Add-On Instruction as shown in the example.
10. Click next to the Motor_Fault_Msg tag.
The Message Configuration -Motor_Fault_Msg_284 dialog box appears.
