Group Motor Installations for USA and Canada Markets The ArmorStart Distributed Motor controllers are listed for use with each other in group installations per NFPA 79, Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery. When applied according to the 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.
The working space around the ArmorStart may be minimized as the ArmorStart does not require examination, adjustment, servicing or maintenance while energized. In lieu of this service, the ArmorStart is meant to be unplugged and replaced after proper lockout/tag-out procedures have been employed.
AC Supply Considerations Ungrounded Distribution Systems ATTENTION ! The Bulletin 284 contains protective MOVs that are referenced to ground. These devices should be disconnected if the Bulletin 284 is installed on an ungrounded distribution system.

Figure 14 LED Status Indication and Reset DeviceNet Node Commissioning ATTENTION ! Three-phase power must be applied to the Bulletin 284 Distributed Motor Controller to gain access to drive parameters. Establishing a DeviceNet Node Address The ArmorStart 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…63.
To set an address using the hardware rotary switches, simply set the switches to the desired node address. To access the node address rotary switches, three-phase and control power should be turned off. Then remove the starter module from the base unit. The rotary node address switches are located on the back side of the starter module. Change the switches to the desired node address. Re-install the starter module to the base unit. Reapply power and the device will re-start at the new address.
Default Input and Output (I/O) Assembly Formats The I/O assembly formats for the ArmorStart are identified by the value in Parameter 11 (Consumed IO Assy.) and Parameter 12 (Produced IO Assy.). These values determine the amount and arrangement of the information communicated to the master scanner. The tables below identify the default information produced and consumed by Bulletin 284 devices.
Setting the Motor OL Current The product should now be configured and communicating on the network. The last step is to program the proper motor OL current setting (Parameter 133). This can be accomplished by using software such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or a handheld DeviceNet tool. Use the software to access the device parameters screen. By default the motor OL current is set to the minimum motor OL current setting for the device. Set this parameter to the desired value and download to the device.

Quick Reference Troubleshooting There are four LEDs on the front of the ArmorStart that can provide an indication as to the health of the device. The following is a brief explanation of the operation of each LED. Table 8 LED Status Indication LED Definition Power This LED will be illuminated solid green when control power is present and with the proper polarity. This LED will be illuminated solid green when a start command and control power are present.

Internal Drive Faults A fault is a condition that stops the drive. There are two fault types. Table 11 Internal Drive Fault Types Type Description 1 Auto-Reset/Run When this type of fault occurs, and Parameter 192 (Auto Rstrt Tries) Related Parameter(s): 155, 158, 161, 193 is set to a value greater than 0, a user-configurable timer, Parameter 193 (AutoRstrt Delay) Related Parameter(s): 192, begins. When the timer reaches zero, the drive attempts to automatically reset the fault.
