conveyors. The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers have builtin DeviceNet communications, DeviceLogix technology, and the
added Zone Interlocking Parameters (ZIP) which allow one
ArmorStart to receive data directly, from up to four other DeviceNet
nodes, without going through a network scanner. These direct
communications between conveyor zones are beneficial in a merge,
diverter, or accumulation conveyor application.
EMI Filter (Bulletin 284G only)
The EMI Filter is required if the Bulletin 284G ArmorStart
Distributed Motor Controller must be CE-compliant. A shielded
4-conductor patchcord or cordset no longer than 14 meters, must be
used to comply with the CE requirement.

Installation and Wiring2-3
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 LEDs
are not an indication that capacitors have discharged
to safe voltage levels. Risk of shock-environment
rating may not be maintained with open receptacles.
