Communications & Control Programming Manual
Introduction
This programming manual provides the information required to configure,
program, and control the ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor
Controller. The ArmorStart provides integration within the architecture to
deliver information with enhanced control and access to parameters, status, and
diagnostics for faster response to changing environments.
Included in this programming manual is a section which will show the user how
to add an ArmorStart Add-On-Profile (AOP) to RSLogix™ 5000. The user will
become familiar with the AOP tabs and how they can be used to connect, obtain
status and configure the ArmorStart. This programming manual will also show
the user how to access the internal web server via the web browser. It reviews the
functionality of the web server which includes accessing the parameters,
diagnostics, and administrative settings.
The user will learn how to do basic control of the Bulletin 280E or Bulletin 284E
ArmorStart EtherNet/IP unit using Ladder Logic in RSLogix™ 5000. This
method of control occurs over the EtherNet network using a Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC). There is also a section which focuses on utilizing
RSLogix™ 5000 to configure the ArmorStart via the AOP parameter list.
The Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) control in Bulletins 280E and 284E ArmorStart
units, is discussed in this publication. Depending on the bulletin number of the
product, the HOA allows the user to run the motor forward (Bulletins 280E and
284E), stop the motor (Bulletins 280E and 284E), run the motor in reverse
(Bulletin 284E), or jog the motor both forward and reverse (Bulletin 284E).
Appendix A provides additional information regarding diagnostics and faults,
including clearing faults. Appendix B provides additional information in regards
to IP Address configuration using the BootP/DHCP Server, the Rotary Network
Address Switches, and the web browser. Appendix C provides an example on
how to perform a Type 1 Reset which is necessary to reset the web browser login
and password. The user should be familiar with and have access to RSLogix™
5000 version 17.01 or later. This programming software package is referred to
often in this manual.
