Chapter 1 Product Overview

Introduction

Description

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.

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 addon profile support.

Overload Protection

The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller incorporates, as standard, electronic motor overload protection. This overload protection is accomplished

electronically with an I2t algorithm. The ArmorStart’s overload protection is programmable via the communication network, providing the user with flexibility.

The Bulletin 280E/281E overload trip class can be selected for class 10, 15, 20 protection. The Bulletin 284E overload trip class is Class 10 only. Ambient insensitivity is inherent in the electronic design of the overload (refer to Chapter 11 for the specification for overload trip curves).

ArmorStart EtherNet/IP includes embedded switch technology as standard. Each ArmorStart EtherNet/IP will consume one Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) connection. The ArmoStart will consume a Class 3 connection when RSLogix 5000 software displays the AOP.

In general, for a DLR or linear network keep individual segments to 50 nodes or less. In addition, it is important to reserve a minimum of 10% of available bandwidth to allow for processing of explicit messages.

Common features are:

•Designed according to the ODVA specification for EtherNet/IP. ODVA specification found at http://www.odva.org/

•Embedded switch technology is designed to enable end devices to form linear and ring network topologies

•Supports Device Level Ring (DLR) protocol

Product Overview	Chapter 1

Switched vs. Unswitched Control Power Input/Output (I/O) Connections

EtherNet/IP™ Ports

•Supports IEEE 1588 transparent clock for CIP Motion™ and CIP Sync™ applications

•Supports the management of network traffic to ensure timely delivery of critical data, that is, QoS and IGMP protocols are supported

Note: DLR ports cannot be used as two network interface cards (NICs) connected to two different subnets.

The voltage at terminals A1/A2 supplies power to the Armorstart outputs. Removing this power or placing the Armorstart disconnect in the “OFF” position will disable the outputs.

The unswitched power A3/A2 supplies power to the input and communication module. This power is not affected by the state of the disconnect switch. This ensures that anytime the controller can communicate, the state of the inputs

is correct.

Figure 5 - Input and Output Configuration

ArmorStart EtherNet/IP includes a dual port Ethernet switch that supports 10/100 Mbps It utilizes a sealed D-coded micro (M12) style Ethernet connector. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled as the factory default. Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network you may need

to configure an IP address or set the address statically.

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.

EtherNet/IP devices have electronic data sheets (EDS). These are specially formatted text files, as defined by the CIP™ Specifications, which represent the object model of the device. EDS files contain details about the readable and configurable parameters of the EtherNet/IP device. They also provide information about the I/O connections the device supports and the content of the associated data structures. EDS are used by EtherNet/IP device configuration tools, such as RSNetWorx™ for EtherNet/IP, and data servers such as RSLinx® Classic.

EDS files for all ArmorStart EtherNet/IP devices can also be uploaded directly from the device via the web server interface. Rockwell Automation product EDS files are also available on the internet at: http://www.ab.com/networks/eds.

Fault diagnostics capabilities built in the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller are designed to help you pinpoint a problem for easy troubleshooting and quick re-starting.

Protection Faults

Protection Faults are generated when potentially dangerous or damaging conditions are detected. Protection Faults are also known as “Trips.”
