Rockwell Automation 284 ArmorStart User Manual - Manual (Page 273)

ArmorStart® to ArmorPoint® Connectivity 11-5
The only configuration that the user needs to be concerned with for
the ArmorPoint communication adapter is either the EtherNet IP
address or the ControlNet node address.
Since there currently is no profile for an ArmorStart device in the I\O
Tree, the 1738-MODULE profile needs to be used as a generic
profile. The standard configuration for an ArmorStart 280A/281A,
using this profile is shown below.

Logic Configuration Details
Inside the Configurator file is a large User Defined structure called
Armor_Start_System, which contains all of the data for both the
configuration of the routine, and also storage space for all of the
ArmorStart parameters. With 20 devices, the total memory needed to
hold this structure in the Logix controller is 195K bytes. The diagram
below shows the upper part of the structure and 3 important elements.
Figure 11.5 Configurator File — Armor_Start_System
Armor_Start_System.Max_Devices defaults to 20; because the total
number of devices that the structure is designed to hold initially, is 20.
This amount can be easily changed, but doing so will also
necessitate a change to the size of the System Array structure to
match exactly.
Note: The Logix memory that contains the structure will also
change size proportionally.
