Product Overview Chapter 1

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.
	IMPORTANT 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.

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.
	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.
