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. is option is only available with sensorless vector control.

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.
