Details on Using the “ArmorStart Ladder Logic Configurator”
The ArmorStart Ladder Logic Configurator is a ladder logic routine (File
Name: ArmorStart_Configurator.ACD) designed so that under program
control, the entire product family of the ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Controllers can be configured easily from a Logix based controller. The
family of ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers includes the following
Bulletin Numbers: 280A, 281A, 283A and 284A. The ArmorStart
Distributed Motor Controllers can be networked over ControlNet or
EtherNetIP, when on the appropriate ArmorPoint backplane. The ladder
logic file is designed to be merged into an existing ladder logic file or it can
be used as the basic program and other logic can be added to it. This
document assumes that the reader has an average knowledge of the use of
RSLogix™5000 and Logix based controllers. Device configuration is done
inside the Controller tag editor under the Monitor Tags tab.
Note: The ArmorStart Ladder Logic Configurator (File Name:
ArmorStart_Configurator.ACD) is provided on the CD shipped with
every ArmorStart product with the ArmorPoint Communications
protocol.
