Rockwell Automation 284E ArmorStart with EtherNet/IP - User Manual - Manual (Page 21)

Rockwell Automation Publication 280E-UM001B-EN-P - July 2012 21
Product Overview Chapter 1
• Supports IEEE 1588 transparent clock for CIP Motion™ and CIP Sync™
applications
• Supports the management of network traffic to ensure timely delivery of
critical data, that is, QoS and IGMP protocols are supported
Note: DLR ports cannot be used as two network interface cards (NICs)
connected to two different subnets.
Switched vs. Unswitched
Control Power Input/Output
(I/O) Connections The voltage at terminals A1/A2 supplies power to the Armorstart outputs.
Removing this power or placing the Armorstart disconnect in the “OFF”
position will disable the outputs.
The unswitched power A3/A2 supplies power to the input and communication
module. This power is not affected by the state of the disconnect switch. This
ensures that anytime the controller can communicate, the state of the inputs
is correct.

EtherNet/IP™ Ports ArmorStart EtherNet/IP includes a dual port Ethernet switch that supports
10/100 Mbps It utilizes a sealed D-coded micro (M12) style Ethernet connector.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled as the factory
default. Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network you may need
to configure an IP address or set the address statically.
ATTENTION: To avoid unintended operation, the adapter must be assigned a fixed IP
address. If a DHCP server is used, it must be configured to assign a fixed IP address for
your adapter.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine motion or loss
of process control.
