QUICK START ARMORSTART® DISTRIBUTED MOTOR CONTROLLER — SAFETY VERSION Getting Started BULLETIN 284G Introduction This guide provides the basic information required to start up your ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controller. Factory default settings and information regarding installing, programming, and DeviceNet™ Node Commissioning are described here. For detailed information on specific product features or configurations, refer to the ArmorStart user manual, Publication 284G-UM001*.
Installation The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is convection cooled. Operating temperature must be kept between -20…40°C (-4…104°F). Dimensions Dimensions are shown in millimeters (inches). Dimensions are not intended to be used for manufacturing purposes. All dimensions are subject to change.

ArmorConnect Cable Ratings The ArmorConnect Power Media cables are rated per UL Type TC 600V 90 °C Dry 75 °C Wet, Exposed Run (ER) or MTW 600V 90 °C or STOOW 105 °C 600V - CSA STOOW 600V FT2. For additional information regarding ArmorConnect Power Media see the ArmorStart User Manual.
While the ArmorStart is intended for installation in factory floor environments of industrial establishments, the following must be taken into consideration when locating the ArmorStart 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 to minimize exposure to continual traffic is recommended.
Grounding Connect a grounding conductor to the terminal provided as standard on each ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller. Refer to Table 2 for grounding provision location. There is also an externally available ground terminal. Refer to Figure 10. LED Status Indication The LED Status Indication provides 4 status LEDs and a Reset button.
DeviceNet Node Commissioning ATTENTION ! Three-phase power must be applied to the Bulletin 284G 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.
Node Commissioning using Hardware The ArmorStart is shipped with the hardware rotary switches set to a value of (99). If the switches are set to a value of (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.
Using Automap Feature with Default Input and Output (I/O) Assemblies The Automap feature available in all Rockwell Automation scanners will automatically map the information as shown below. If manual mapping is required, the information below can be used to map a device based on the default configuration.
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 7 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 10 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.
