Chapter 1 Product Overview

Feature Description

Standard Features Across Product Family
UL Listed “Suitable for Group Motor Applications” — Where NFPA 70 (NEC) or 79 are required installation standards, this Listing allows two or more motors to be connected to the same branch circuit without individual motor branch short circuit or ground fault protection. Refer to Appendix A for details.
At-motor disconnect switch — ArmorStart LT offers a local ON/Off motor disconnecting means with lockout-tagout provision. Industrial standards require a local at-motor disconnect to be within eye sight of the motor for maintenance or other shutdown reasons. Refer to your installation code for details.
User configurable I/O — ArmorStart LT offers 6 user configurable I/O points to be used with sensors and actuators. By default all 6 points are configured as sinking 24V DC inputs. The user has the option to select any point as a sourcing 24V DC output.
DeviceNet Network Capabilities
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller delivers advanced capabilities to access parameter settings and provides fault diagnostics, and remote start-stop control.
DeviceLogix — ArmorStart LT offers local programmable logic via DeviceLogix. DeviceLogix is a stand-alone program that resides within the ArmorStart LT. It is programmed locally using the Add-On-Profile and implements operations such as, AND, OR, NOT, Timers, Counters, Latches, and Analog operations. DeviceLogix can run as a stand-alone application, independent of the network or collaboratively with the PLC. However, unswitched control power must be maintained for DeviceLogix to operate.
Zone Interlock Protocol (ZIP) — The zone control capabilities of ArmorStart LT is ideal for motored conveyors. Zone Interlocking Parameters (ZIP) 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.
Quick disconnect for I/O and network — ArmorStart LT offers quick disconnect connectors for I/O and communications.
DeviceNet node address — ArmorStart LT offers external accessible address switches for device node address configuration. The address can be set statically or dynamically.
EMI filter — ArmorStart LT for VFD application (Bulletin 294) provides an internal EMI filter and is CE compliant. For CE compliant installations refer to the recommended EMI/RFI cord grip accessory. For availability of the quick
20 Rockwell Automation Publication 290D-UM001A-EN-P - June 2012
Product Overview Chapter 1
disconnect shielded motor cable contact your local sales representative for details.
Local and remote status and diagnostics — ArmorStart LT offers comprehensive status and diagnostics for I/O, Network, and device health via 12 LEDs found on the electronic control module (ECM). If a fault occurs a local fault reset button allows the user to quickly get the process started after corrective action is taken. The user can also configure the embedded web server to send an e-mail when a fault or warning occurs.
Gland plate entrance — ArmorStart LT offers different methods of connecting three-phase, control power, and motor. ArmorStart LT has conduit entrance openings, as standard.

Factory-Installed Options

Internal power supply (IPS) — ArmorStart LT offers the user an optional 24V DC internal power supply. The internal power supply provides all control and I/O power needs and is sourced from the incoming 3-phase power. This eliminates the need to run separate control power to each unit, reducing installation time and cost. The local at-motor disconnect will remove power from the motor terminals and outputs when in the OFF condition.
Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) keypad — ArmorStart LT offers an optional local Hand-Off-Auto keypad. This key pad allows local start/stop motor control regardless of PLC status. This option can be used for troubleshooting or maintenance operations. The HOA can also be disabled when local control is not allowed, using parameter 67.
Source brake — ArmorStart LT provides an optional, internally-controlled electromechanical motor brake contactor. The motor brake power is sourced from 3-phase power, L1 and L2.
Quick disconnect gland — ArmorStart LT offers a plug -n- play solution that simplifies wiring and installation. These factory installed quick disconnect receptacles provide connectivity to ArmorConnect® media for three-phase, control, and motor connections. The cables are ordered separately.

Basic Operation

Group Motor Installations for USA and Canada Markets
The ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor controllers are listed for use with each other in group installations per NFPA 79, Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery and NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code. When applied according to the group motor installation requirements, two or more motors are permitted on a single branch circuit. Group Motor Installation has been successfully used for many years in the USA and Canada.
Note: For additional information regarding group motor installations with the ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor Controller, see Appendix A
.
Control Circuit
ArmorStart LT accepts a 24V DC Class 2 input power supply for switched and unswitched power. The control voltage provides power to the inputs (unswitched) and outputs (switched). Unswitched control voltage is used to ensure no loss of network connectivity, sensor, or other field input status under normal operation. The control power terminal connections are labeled A1, A2, and A3. Switched power is identified as (+A1) (-A2). Unswitched power is identified as (+A3) (-A2).
As an option, ArmorStart LT can be supplied with an internal power supply (IPS) eliminating the need for an external control power. The IPS is sourced from the line side of 3-phase power and is not impacted by the status of the local at­motor disconnect switch.

Mode of Operation Bulletin 294D

Sensorless Vector Performance
Using a distributed AC drive to operate mechanical equipment at optimum speed helps reduce energy costs and eliminates mechanical wear and tear that can occur in the mechanical parts. The advance monitoring found in ArmorStart LT protects critical equipment against unplanned downtime with advanced diagnostics and notification of irregular operating parameters. ArmorStart LT provides open-loop speed regulation (V/Hz) with slip compensation. This provides excellent speed regulation and high levels of torque across the entire speed range of the drive, and improved speed regulation as loading increases.
Open Loop Speed Regulation with Slip Compensation allows the VFD to automatically adjust the output frequency to compensate for speed changes due to motor loading. This feature utilizes an open loop, current feedback, slip compensation circuit. Slip Compensation works as an open loop speed regulator that increases the output frequency of the drive as the load is increased, or decreases the frequency as the load drops. This feature is used where the motor must run at a relatively constant speed regardless of torque output.

Source Brake Contactor and Connector (Bulletin 294D only)

An internal contactor is used to switch the electromechanical motor brake On/Off. The motor brake contactor is actuated via the internal power which supplies L1 and L2 voltage to the mechanical brake in the motor. The source brake can be configured for independent control via parameter configuration.
The internal contactor, electromechanical motor brake, and associated motor branch cable are protected by the branch circuit protective device. There is no resettable or replaceable protective device in ArmorStart LT.
WARNING: If the branch circuit protective device trips, the user must ensure that the Source Brake function is still operational prior to putting the equipment back in service. If the source brake function is not working properly, loss of brake function or motor damage can occur.

Installation Precautions

Precautions for Bulletin 290D/291D Applications

The following statements must be read and understood.
ATTENTION: The earth ground terminal shall be connected to a solid earth ground via a low-impedance connection.
ATTENTION: Copper ground conductors are recommended. The ArmorStart LT external protective earth (PE) pad is aluminum. Refer to your local electrical installation standard for proper bonding and protection when dissimilar metals are used.
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 out of range ambient temperatures, may result in malfunction of the system.
SHOCK HAZARD: To prevent electrical shock, open appropriate machine disconnect switch prior to connecting and disconnecting cables. Risk of shock — environment rating may not be maintained with open receptacles.

Precautions for Bulletin 294D Applications

Dimensions

SHOCK HAZARD: 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 (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.
ArmorStart LT consists of three components that are non-replaceable. The Electronic Control Module (ECM); a gland plate for wire entry; and the aluminum alloy enclosure which makes up the back cover, top housing, and wiring access door. The ECM includes communications, discrete I/O, status and diagnostic LEDs, and the node address switches. All mating surfaces are sealed using foam in place gasket or o-ring.

Installation and Wiring Chapter 2

Typical System Example

The primary function of ArmorStart LT is to control and protect a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor. Three-phase power enters through terminals that are connected to a manually operated disconnect switch. The three-phase power may also connect internally to an optional three-phase to 24V DC power supply (IPS). Wired in series with the disconnect is an electrically operated contactor or a variable frequency drive. For Bulletin 294D an optional source brake contactor may also be connected to the disconnect output terminals. The source brake contactor is used to control an electromechanical brake physically attached to the motor. The microcontroller and interface circuits are contained in the ECM. The ECM also houses 6 user configurable I/O points. These six I/O points are used for system level control and are accessible via by the communication network or DeviceLogix.
The user has the flexibility to coordinate the appropriate safety function for their application. ArmorStart LT does not provide a safe torque-off input. Therefore, the safety function is configured externally from the controller and based upon the risk assessment.
For example, the risk assessment may require a safety circuit with a high level of performance. In this example, a safety relay with redundant safety contactors and emergency stop function can be integrated into the machine controls.

Group Motor Installations for USA and Canada Markets

Wiring

When ArmorStart LT is applied according to 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.
For additional information regarding group motor installations with the ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor Controller, see Appendix A
Cable Workmanship Guidelines
In addition to conduit and seal-tite raceway, it is acceptable to utilize cable that is dual rated Tray Cable Exposed Runs (TC-ER) and Cord, STOOW, for power and control wiring on ArmorStart LT installations. In the USA and Canada installations, the following guidance is outlined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and National Fire Protection Association (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 equipment or device as open wiring. The cable shall be secured at intervals not exceeding 6 ft (1.8 m) 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.
While the ArmorStart LT is intended for installation in factory floor environments of industrial establishments, the following must be taken into consideration when locating the ArmorStart LT 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 LT 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.
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.
Historically cable meeting these crush and impact requirements was designated and marked “Open Wiring.” Cable so marked is
equivalent to the present Type TC-ER and can be used.

Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring
Service Space
The working space around the ArmorStart LT can be minimized as the ArmorStart LT does not require examination, adjustment, servicing or maintenance while energized. In lieu of this service, the ArmorStart LT is meant to be unplugged and replaced after proper lock-out/tag-out procedures have been employed.
Hand Operation (HOA) Considerations
The Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) is a factory-installed option that the user may select. The HOA keypad may require the ArmorStart LT to be installed as follows, if the application requires frequent use of the hand operated interface by the equipment operator:
1. Install not less than 2 ft (0.6 m) above the servicing level and within easy reach of the operator, who is in a normal working position.
2. Install where the operator is not placed in a hazardous situation when operating the equipment.

General Wiring Considerations

3. Install where the possibility of inadvertent operation is minimized.
Where inadvertent operation may cause adverse effects the HOA can be disabled via parameter 67.
Wire in an industrial control application can be divided into three groups: power, control, and signal. The following recommendations for physical separation between these groups is provided to reduce the coupling effect:
Minimum spacing between different wire groups in the same tray should be 6 in. (16 cm).
Wire runs outside an enclosure should be run in conduit or have shielding/ armor with equivalent attenuation.
Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
Minimum spacing between conduits containing different wire groups
should be 3 in. (8 cm).
Minimum spacing between 3-phase power cabling and DeviceNet or I/O cabling should be at least 6 in. (16 cm) to avoid noise issues, unless properly shielded.

IMPORTANT

Grounding

An effectively grounded product is one that is “intentionally connected to earth through a ground connection or connections of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient current-carrying capacity to prevent the buildup of voltages which may result in undue hazard to connected equipment or to persons” (as defined by the US National Electric Code NFPA70, Article 100B). Grounding is done for two basic reasons: safety (defined above) and noise containment or reduction. While the safety ground scheme and the noise current return circuit may sometimes share the same path and components, they should be considered different circuits with different requirements.
Grounding Safety Grounds
The object of safety grounding is to ensure that all metalwork is at the same ground (or Earth) potential at power frequencies. Impedance between the drive and the building scheme ground must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations or electrical codes. These will vary based on country, type of distribution system and other factors. Periodically check the integrity of all ground connections.
General safety dictates that all metal parts are connected to earth with separate copper wire or wires of the appropriate gauge. Most equipment has specific provisions to connect a safety ground or PE (protective earth) directly to it.
Grounding PE or Ground
The safety ground - PE must be connected to earth ground. This point must be connected to an adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod, a bus bar or a building ground grid. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety regulations or electrical codes. Some codes may require redundant ground paths and periodic examination of connection integrity.
To avoid electrolytic corrosion on the external earth terminal, avoid spraying moisture directly on the terminal. When used in washdown environments apply a sealant or other corrosion inhibitor on the external ground terminal to minimize any negative effects of galvanic or electro-chemical corrosion. Ground connections should be inspected on a regular basis.
Grounding Motors
The motor frame or stator core must be connected directly to the PE connection with a separate ground conductor. It is recommended that each motor frame be grounded to building steel at the motor.
Rockwell Automation Publication 290D-UM001A-EN-P - June 2012 57
Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring

Power Distribution

The type of transformer and the connection configuration feeding an ArmorStart LT Bulletin 294D plays an important role in its performance and safety.
Delta/Wye with Grounded Wye Neutral
Figure 28 -
Del ta/Wy e with Groun ded Wye Neutral is the most common type of distribution system. The grounded neutral provides a direct path for common mode current caused by the drive output.

AC Line Voltage

Line Reactor

SHOCK HAZARD: ArmorStart LT requires the use of grounded Wye
power systems.
Incoming voltage imbalances greater than 2% can cause large unequal currents in a drive. An input line reactor may be necessary when line voltage imbalances are greater than 2%.
In general, ArmorStart LT does not require line reactors. In most applications, the ArmorStart LT is further away from the power distribution panel, therefore the length of cable provides additional impedance as compared to an in-panel solution.
Through design and engineering, the need for a line reactor is significantly reduced.
Therefore, ArmorStart LT does not define a minimum line impedance specification, and does not require a line reactor. Its design trades the external reactor supplied by the customer for an internal fan integral to the controller. This improves the overall life of the product. To achieve maximum electrical life of Bulletin 294, an 800μH line reactor for the group can be applied to extend total service life.
58 Rockwell Automation Publication 290D-UM001A-EN-P - June 2012
Installation and Wiring Chapter 2
In addition, if line disturbance mitigation is also necessary, the ArmorStart LT is equipped with an EMI filter and when used with a shielded motor cable reduces the impact of the power switching components. For CE compliant installations refer to the recommended EMI/RFI cord grip accessory or quick disconnect shielded motor cable. Contact your local sales representative for details.
If however, the customer specifications require input line reactors or transformers, the recommendation is to group the ArmorStarts at the distribution panel under one line reactor (not individual reactors or transformers). Keep in mind where full voltage ArmorStarts are included with VFD ArmorStarts, the starting currents of the full voltage ArmorStarts can be significant. The current must be accounted for in the selection of the line reactor or you run the risk of nuisance undervoltage faults of the VFD ArmorStarts while the full voltage ArmorStarts are starting their motors.
ATT EN TI ON : For 50°C ambients ArmorStart LT must be derated and applied with a minimum of 800 uH to1200 uH line reactor. Failure to follow this application requirement will result in premature product failure. Contact your local Rockwell Automation representative for assistance.

Bulletin 294D Motor Cable Considerations

The majority of recommendations regarding drive cable address issues are caused by the nature of the drive output. A PWM drive creates AC motor current by sending DC voltage pulses to the motor in a specific pattern. These pulses affect the wire insulation and can be a source of electrical noise. The rise time, amplitude, and frequency of these pulses must be considered when choosing a wire/cable type. The choice of cable must consider:
1. The effects of the drive output once the cable is installed
2. The need for the cable to contain noise caused by the drive output
3. The amount of cable charging current available from the drive
4. Possible voltage drop (and subsequent loss of torque)
for long wire runs
Keep the motor cable lengths less than 45 ft from the ArmorStart LT.
Unshielded Cable
Properly designed multi-conductor cable can provide superior performance in wet applications, significantly reduce voltage stress on wire insulation and reduce cross coupling between drives.
The use of cables without shielding is generally acceptable for installations where electrical noise created by the drive does not interfere with the operation of other devices such as: communications cards, photoelectric switches, weigh scales, and others. Be certain the installation does not require shielded cable

Shielded Cable
Shielded cable contains all of the general benefits of multi-conductor cable with the added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain much of the noise generated by a typical AC Drive. Strong consideration for shielded cable should be given for installations with sensitive equipment such as weigh scales, capacitive proximity switches, and other devices that may be affected by electrical noise in the distribution system. Applications with large numbers of drives in a similar location, imposed EMC regulations, or a high degree of communications/networking are also good candidates for shielded cable.
An acceptable shielded cable will have 4 XLPE insulated conductors with a 100% coverage foil and an 85% coverage copper braided shield (with drain wire) surrounded by a PVC jacket.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The following guidelines are provided for EMC installation compliance.
General Notes (Bulletin 294D only)
The motor cable should be kept as short as possible in order to avoid electromagnetic emissions as well as capacitive currents. CE conformity of ArmorStart LT with EMC directive does not guarantee the entire machine installation complies with CE EMC requirements. Many factors can influence total machine/installation compliance.
The EMI filter may result in relatively high ground leakage currents. Therefore, ArmorStart LT must only be applied in installations that are solidly grounded (bonded) to the building power distribution ground.

Configuring DeviceNet Address

The ArmorStart® is shipped with a default switch setting of 99 and Autobaud enabled. When a value greater than 63 is read, then the node address will be set to the value stored in memory. From the factory the node address will be set to 63.
The Each device on a DeviceNet network must have a unique node address which can be set to a value from 0 to 63. Keep in mind that most DeviceNet systems use address 0 for the master device (Scanner) and node address 63 should be left vacant for introduction of new slave devices. The ArmorStart offers two methods for node commissioning .The node address for a device can be changed using software or by setting hardware switches that reside on electronic control module (ECM). While both methods yield the same result, it is good practice to choose one method and deploy it throughout the system. For software configuration ensure that the node address is set to 99 and use RS Networx node commissioning wizard.

Figure 34 - Network Address Example
The switch value of 88 allows the user to reset to factory default configuration including configuration parameters. This setting is useful in situations where the user wishes to decommission a module or when the user wishes to commission a previously-used module that has an unknown configuration. When the switches are set to 888, upon the next power cycle the ArmorStart LT will return to factory default settings and cease all communications. The Module Status LED shall transition to blinking red and the Network Status LED shall transition to off.
After reset, the user will then need to change the IP address to a valid setting and power cycle. The purpose of this is to prevent the user from resetting the module and then never changing the switch setting from 88.
Setting the node address to “88” followed by a power cycle will reset the device to its factory default configuration. To r esum e network c ommunication the address MUST
be set to a valid address and power cycled again.

Establishing a DeviceNet Node Address

Node Commissioning using Hardware

The ArmorStart® LT is shipped with a default node address of 63 and Autobaud enabled. Each device on a DeviceNet network must have a unique node address or MAC ID which can be set to a value from 0 to 63. Keep in mind that most DeviceNet systems use address 0 for the master device (Scanner) and node address 63 should be left vacant for introduction of new slave devices. The ArmorStart offers two methods for node commissioning as shown below.
The node address for a device can be changed using software or by setting hardware switches that reside on the back of the control module. While both methods yield the same result, it is good practice to choose one method and deploy it throughout the system.
The ArmorStart is shipped with the hardware rotary switches set to a value of (99). If the switches are set to a value (64) or above, the device will automatically configure itself to the software node address. If the switches are set to a value of (63) or less, the device will be at the node address designated by the switch configuration.
To set an address using the hardware rotary switches, simply set the switches to the desired node address and cycle power to the unit. The Device will re-start at the new address.

Node Commissioning using Software

To set the node address of the ArmorStart using software or other handheld tools, leave the hardware switches in there default position (99) or insure that they are set to something greater than (63). With the hardware switches set, use the software or handheld tool to change the address.
To begin the configuration of ArmorStart using software, execute the RSNetWorx™ software and complete the following procedure. You must use RSNetWorx Revision 11 or later.

The consumed information is generally used to command the state of its outputs, and produced information typically contains the state of the inputs and the current fault status of the device.
The default consumed and produced assemblies are shown below; for additional formats refer to Appendix B. The ArmorStart default configuration varies depending on the type of starter.
Choosing the size and format of the I/O data that is exchanged by the ArmorStart is done by choosing a consumed assembly instance number. This instance number is written to the Consumed IO Assy parameter. The different instances/formats allow user programming flexibility and network optimization.
The Consumed and Produced IO Assy parameter values can not be changed while the ArmorStart is online with a scanner. Any attempts to change the value of this parameter while online with a scanner will result in the error message “Object State Conflict”.
