Rockwell Automation 284D ArmorStart - Safety Version - User Manual - Manual (Page 16)

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.
Outputs
Two dual-key relay output connectors are supplied as standard. The
outputs are sourced from control power (A1 and A2). LED status
indication is also provided as standard for each output.
Gland Plate Entrance
The ArmorStart product offers two different methods of connecting
incoming three-phase power to the device. One method offered is the
traditional conduit entrance with a 1 in. conduit hole opening for
wiring three-phase power. The second method offers connectivity to
the ArmorConnect™ power media. Factory-installed receptacles are
provided for connectivity to the three-phase power media.
Motor Cable
With every ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller, a 3-meter
unshielded 4-conductor cordset is provided with each unit as
standard. If the optional EMI filter is selected for Bulletin 284 units, a
shielded 4-conductor cordset is provided with each unit as standard.
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
280D/281D or 284D 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…10 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.
