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.
RSLogix 5000 Add-On Profile (AOP) — ArmorStart LT offers for
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLCs a downloadable Add-On
Profile. The AOP simplifies setup and commissioning via predefined tags and
commissioning wizards. The AOP also allows copy and paste functionality for
quick setup and configuration of multiple ArmorStart LTs.
AOP support for EtherNet/IP network only and requires RSLogix 5000
revision 17.01 or later. There is a known compatibility issue with revision 20.0.
Update RSLogix 5000 to 20.1 or greater.
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.
Quick disconnect for I/O and network — ArmorStart LT offers quick
disconnect connectors for I/O and communications.
EtherNet/IP 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
disconnect shielded motor cable contact your local sales representative for
details.

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
at-motor disconnect switch.

Mode of Operation Bulletin 294E
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.

Precautions for Bulletin 290E/291E 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 294E 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 294E 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.

ArmorConnect Media
For greater flexibility and faster installations the user may also use
ArmorConnect media for a complete plug-n-play solution. This solution
provides plug-in style stop stations, as shown in Figure 23
. The ArmorConnect
power media offers both three-phase and control power cable cord set systems.
These include patchcords, receptacles, tees, reducers and accessories to be utilized
with the ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor Controller. This cable system allows
quick connections and reduced installation time by utilizing pre-manufactured
cable assemblies for more reliable connection of the three phase and
control power.
When specifying power media for use with the ArmorStart LT Distributed
Motor Controllers (Bulletin 290E/291E and Bulletin 294E) use only
ArmorConnect power media. The use of any other power media
will void the UL Listing of the motor controller.
Refer to your local electrical code for proper application and protection of long
length power cable to minimize physical damage and appropriate short-circuit
and ground-fault protection for the assembly.

Switched power (A1) will supply outputs and motor control. Unswitched
power (A3) will supply logic power, communications, and sensor inputs.
EtherNet/IP is an unpowered network, therefore if device status is important,
the A3 terminal must have an unswitched power source.

IMPORTANT
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)➊ 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.
➊ 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.
Rockwell Automation Publication 290E-UM001B-EN-P - June 2012 55
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 Ethernet
or I/O cabling should be at least 6 in. (16 cm) to avoid noise issues,
unless properly shielded.
56 Rockwell Automation Publication 290E-UM001B-EN-P - June 2012
Installation and Wiring Chapter 2
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.x
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 290E-UM001B-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 294E plays an important role in its performance
and safety.
Delta/Wye with Grounded Wye Neutral
Figure 33 -
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.
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, a minimum 800 uH line reactor for the group can be applied to
extend total service life.
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

Installation and Wiring Chapter 2
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 294 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
to meet specific EMC standards for CE, C-Tick or FCC. Cable specifications
depend on the installation type.

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 294E 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.

IP Address
The IP address identifies each node on the IP network (or system of connected
networks). Each TCP/IP node on a network must have a unique IP address.
The IP address is 32 bits long and has a net ID part and Host ID part. Networks
are classified A, B, C, (or other). The class of the network determines how an IP
address is formatted.
Figure 38 - IP Address on the IP Network
You can distinguish the class of the IP address from the first integer in its
dotted-decimal IP address as follows:
Range of first integer Class Range of first integer Class
0…127 A 192…223 C
128…191 B 224…255 other
Each node on the same physical network must have an IP address of the same
class and must have the same net ID. Each node on the same network must have
a different Host ID thus giving it a unique IP address.
Gateway Address
The Gateway Address is the default address of a network. It provides a single
domain name and point of entry to the site. Gateways connect individual physical
networks into a system of networks.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups,
or subnets. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address
to turn part of the Host ID address field into a field for subnets.
Rockwell Automation Publication 290E-UM001B-EN-P - June 2012 67
Chapter 3 Product Commissioning
Configuring EtherNet/IP Address
Before using the ArmorStart LT, you may need to configure an IP address, subnet
mask, and optional Gateway address. The rotary network address switches found
on the front of the ECM, are set to 999 and DHCP is enabled as the factory
default. The network Internet Protocol (IP) address can be set one of three ways:
• Use the switches located on the module
• Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP
• Retrieve a static IP address from nonvolatile memory
The ArmorStart LT reads these switches first at power up or after a reset to
determine if they are set to a valid IP address between 1…254. When switches are
set to a valid number the IP address will be 192.168.1._ _ _ [switch setting].
If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater
than 254 excluding 888), DHCP is enabled. The DHCP server will assign the
IP address and the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
The RS Logix 5000 installation provides a BootP/DHCP server found
in the Rockwell Software Program folder. Use Rockwell Automation BootP/
DHCP server utility, version 2.3 or later, that ships with RSLogix™ 5000
or RSLinx software.
A third party DHCP server can also be used.
Manually Configure the Network Address Switches
Remove the protective caps from the rotary switches.
Figure 39 - Switches on the I/O module
Set the network address by adjusting the three rotary switches on the front
of the ECM. When the IP address switches are valid, the subnet mask will be

This example shows the
IP address set to 000 (DHCP).
255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. A power cycle is required
for any new IP address to take effect when the switches are used.
ATTENTION: To avoid unintended operation, the ArmorStart LT
must be assigned a fixed IP address. If a DHCP server is used, it must
be configured to assign a fixed IP address for ArmorStart LT.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine
motion or loss of process control.
Figure 40 - Network Address Example
Static Address Alternative
If the manual address configuration of 192.168.1.xxx is not acceptable, a static
address can be configured using the embedded web page. First configure the
switches to a valid address to access the web page. Using a common web browser
enter the address 192.168.1._ _ _ (switches). From the Administrative Settings
window select Network Configuration. Change the Ethernet Interface
Configuration to “Static” and enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway and apply. Change the ArmorStart LT address switches to 999. The unit
will now accept the new IP address. To access the web page you will need to use
the new address in the web browser.
The switch value of 888 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 888.
Setting the IP address to “888” followed by a power cycle will reset the device
to its factory default configuration. To resume network communication the
address MUST
Rockwell Automation Publication 290E-UM001B-EN-P - June 2012 69
be set to DHCP or a valid IP address and power cycled again.

Using the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP Utility
The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a stand alone program that
incorporates the functionality of standard BootP/DHCP software with a user
friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the
RSLogix 5000 installation CD. The ArmorStart LT must have DHCP
enabled (factory default) to use the utility.
To configure your adapter using the BootP/DHCP utility, perform the following
steps:
1. Run the BootP/DHCP software.
In the BOOTP/DHCP Request History panel you will see the Ethernet
(Mac) addresses of the devices issuing requests.
Note : the Ethernet (Mac) address for a device can be found
on the product label.
Figure 41 - BOOTP/DHCP Request History Panel
2. Double-click the Ethernet (Mac) address of the device you want
to configure.
You will see the New Entry dialog with the device’s Ethernet Address
(MAC).

3. Enter the IP Address you want to assign to the device, and click OK.
The device is added to the Relation List, displaying the Ethernet
Address (MAC) and corresponding IP Address, Hostname, and
Description (if applicable).
Figure 43 - Relation List
When the address displays in the IP Address column in the Request
History section, it signifies that the IP address assignment has been made.
4. To assign this configuration to the device, highlight the device in the
Relation List panel, and click the Disable BOOTP/DHCP button.
When power is cycled to the device, it uses the configuration you assigned
and does not issue a DHCP request.
5. To enable DHCP for a device with DHCP disabled, highlight the device
in the Relation List, and click the Enable DHCP button.
You must have an entry for the device in the Relation List
panel to re-enable DHCP.

3. Enter a File name for the Relation List (for example, Control System
Configuration), and click Save.
You can leave the Save as type at the default setting: Bootp
You can then open the file containing the Relation List at a later session.
When DHCP is enabled (factory default Enabled), the unit will request its
network configuration from a DHCP/BOOTP server. Any configuration
received from a DHCP server will be stored in non-volatile memory.
The unit will try to obtain the same IP address from the DHCP server. If the
server is not present (e.g., server fails to power up), the unit will use the IP address
it previously received from the server. The DHCP timeout = 30 s.
Be cautious about using an unmanaged switch to assign the IP address.
A DHCP
server typically assigns a finite lease time to the offered IP address. The possibility
exists that the ArmorStart LT would be assigned a different IP address which
would cause a stop in communication with the controller.

Electronic Keying
The electronic keying feature automatically compares the expected module, as
shown in the RSLogix 5000 I/O Configuration tree, to the physical module
before I/O communication begins. You can use electronic keying to help prevent
communication to a module that does not match the type and revision expected.
Typically, three keying options are available:
• Exact Match
Exact Match keying requires all keying attributes, that is, Vendor, Product
Type, Product Code (catalog number), Major Revision, and Minor
Revision, of the physical module and the module created in the software
to match precisely to establish communication.
• Compatible Keying
Compatible Keying indicates that the module determines whether to
accept or reject communication. Compatible Keying is the default setting.
• Disable Keying
Disabled Keying indicates the keying attributes are not considered when
attempting to communicate with a module.
ATTENTION: Be extremely cautious when using Disabled Keying; if used incorrectly,
this option can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
Changing electronic keying selections online may cause the I/O communication
connection to the module to be disrupted and may result in a loss of data.

Once complete the new ArmorStart LT will appear in the Ethernet tree. If there
are multiple ArmorStart LTs with similar configurations, utilize the copy-paste
function and update only those parameters that change between units.
The final step is to download your project to the controller and the ArmorStart
LT. Define the path to the PLC and then download.
RSLogix 5000 Add-On Profile
The Add-On Profile (AOP) for ArmorStart LT consists of several standard pages
and multiple product specific pages for configuration within RS Logix 5000.
In addition the AOP will automatically create descriptive tag names for the input
and output assemblies.
The following table lists the available AOPs for ArmorStart LT when adding a
new module in RS Logix 5000.

Auto-Generated Tags
After you install and configure the AOP, the controller tags are generated. The
tag names are descriptive and automatically generated. This greatly simplifies
programming. The figure below shows an example of the auto-generated tags
for ArmorStart LT
.
The following tables provide more clarification regarding the Produce and
Consume assemblies and how they correlate with the auto-generated names.

Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
Basic Setup Parameters
When a 3rd party PLC is used, an embedded EDS file can be uploaded directly
from the ArmorStart LT. This allows device configuration through 3rd party
tools. EDS files are also available on the internet at: http://www.ab.com/
networks/eds.
When the RSLogix AOP is not used, Table 22 lists the minimum setup
configurations required for Bulletin 290E/291E or Bulletin 294E. Basic
parameter configuration, status, and diagnostic information can be accessed
from the embedded web browser.
RSLogix 5000 is the recommended commissioning software. Download the AddOn-Profile (AOP) from http://support.rockwellautomation.com/controlflash/Logix
Profiler.asp for additional functionality. There are additional capabilities that are
not enabled or left at their default values.

➊ When using the AOP this parameter is configured during module definition on the “General” page.
All I/O points are configured as inputs, by default. Identify which points
are outputs, when needed for proper operation, using parameter 49
[IOPointConfiguration].
