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.

Local and remote status and diagnostics — ArmorStart LT offers comprehensive status and diagnostics for I/O, Network, and device health via 12

Chapter 1 Product Overview

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 webserver to send an email 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.

Network Options

Native EtherNet/IP — ArmorStart LT supports native EtherNet/IP without additional modules or adapters. EtherNet/IP allows complete integration of control with information across multiple Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) networks. EtherNet/IP allows users to integrate I/O control, device configuration, and data collection across multiple networks enabling internet connectivity and information.

Embedded dual port switch — ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version includes a dual port 10/100 mb/s ethernet switch that supports linear or Device Level Ring (DLR) topology.

Figure 1 - Linear Topology

Device Level Ring (DLR) - ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version offers DLR support with beacon frame performance. DLR provides a single fault tolerant network solution for EtherNet/IP.

Product Overview Chapter 1

Figure 3 - DLR with Beacon Performance — Fault

In this example the fault is precisely identified by the link status message and the supervisor opens the blocked port to allow network traffic to continue normally.

IEEE 1588 transparent clock —ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version supports the IEEE 1588 transparent clock when used with precision time protocols (PTP). A transparent clock measures and adjusts for packet delays, therefore removing the negative effects that these variations can cause within a synchronized distributed network of devices.

Embedded web server — ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version offers a web server that can be accessed via a standard internet browser. The web server provides status, diagnostics, and configuration capabilities.

E-mail notification — ArmorStart LT via the embedded web server, supports configuration of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Once properly configured, the motor controller will e-mail the user with specific fault/trip messages.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

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.

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.

Motor Circuit

The ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor Controllers are rated to operate the following types of three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors:

Bulletin 290E/291E:

0.5 Hp (0.37 kW) to 5 Hp (3 kW) @ 480/277V AC Bulletin 294E:

0.5 Hp (0.37 kW) to 2 Hp (1.5 kW) @ 480/277V AC

Local I/O

The ArmorStart LT provides as standard, 6 user configurable I/O points. By default, all points are configured as an Input. When not using the AOP, the user will need to refer to parameter 49 [IOPointConfiguration], to define an output point.

When using the AOP, the I/O point is configured from the General screen in the Module Definition section by clicking the “Change” button, see Figure 9 This allows user to view and configure the I/O mix, refer to Figure 10

Overload Protection

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

electronically with an I programmable via the communication network, providing the user with greater flexibility.

The Bulletin 290E/291E includes programmable overload Class 10, 15, and 20 protection. The Bulletin 294E provides overload protection: 150% for 60s and 200% for 3s.

Full-Voltage Start

This method is used in applications requiring across-the-line starting, in which full inrush current and locked-rotor torque are realized. The ArmorStart LT Bulletin 290E offers full-voltage starting and Bulletin 291E offers full-voltage starting for reversing applications, from 0.5 Hp (0.37 kW) to 5 Hp (3 kW) at 480Y/277V AC, 3-phase power.
