Page: 16 / 324

1-6 Product Overview
Inputs
The inputs are single-keyed (2 inputs per connector), which are
sourced from DeviceNet power (24V DC), with LED status
indication.
Gland Plate Entrance
The ArmorStart product offers connectivity to the ArmorConnect™
power media. Receptacles are provided for connectivity to both three-
phase and control power media.
ArmorStart with DeviceNet Network Capabilities
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller delivers advanced
capabilities to access parameter settings and provides fault
diagnostics, and remote start-stop control. DeviceNet is the
communication protocol, provided with the ArmorStart Bulletin
280G/281G or 284G Distributed Motor Controller.
DeviceLogix™
DeviceLogix is a stand-alone Boolean program that resides within the
ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller. DeviceLogix is
programmed using Boolean math operations, such as, AND, OR,
NOT, Timers, Counters, and Latches. DeviceLogix can run as a stand-
alone application, independent of the network. However, 24V DC
must be supplied at the DeviceNet connector to power the inputs.
Peer to Peer Communications (ZIP)
The zone control capabilities of ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Controllers is ideal for large horsepower (0.5…15 Hp) motored
conveyors. The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers have built-
in DeviceNet communications, DeviceLogix technology, and the
added Zone Interlocking Parameters (ZIP) which allow one
ArmorStart to receive data directly, from up to four other DeviceNet
nodes, without going through a network scanner. These direct
communications between conveyor zones are beneficial in a merge,
diverter, or accumulation conveyor application.
EMI Filter (Bulletin 284G only)
The EMI Filter is required if the Bulletin 284G ArmorStart
Distributed Motor Controller must be CE-compliant. A shielded
4-conductor patchcord or cordset no longer than 14 meters, must be
used to comply with the CE requirement.
