Peer-to-Peer Communications

The Zone Control capabilities of ArmorStart

Distributed Motor Controller 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 allows one
ArmorStart to consume data directly from up to
four other DeviceNet nodes without going
through the network scanner. These direct
communications between conveyor zones are
beneficial in a merge, diverter, and
accumulation conveyor applications.

ArmorStart to ArmorPoint Connectivity - (Networks other than DeviceNet)

When connecting to the Bulletin 1738 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product, a network
adapter and at least one ArmorPoint Digital Output, Digital Input, Analog, AC and Relay
product, or Specialty product must be selected. The ArmorPoint Distributed I/O can
accomodate up to 63 modules per network node. The cable that connects the
ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product to the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is the
Bulletin 280A-EXT1. The 280A-EXT1 includes an ArmorPoint bus extension cable and a
network terminating resistor.
Note: Access to DeviceLogix programming is available with RSNetworx for DeviceNet.

If an additional ArmorStart Distributed Motor

Controller is to be connected, the Bulletin 280A-
EXTCABLE will be required. A maximum of two
ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers can be
connected to the Bulletin 1738 Distributed I/O.

I/O Expansion with DeviceNet

DeviceNet Trunk

ADNX If the I/O capability of the Bulletin 280/281D ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Architecture Controller needs to be expanded beyond the standard four inputs and two
outputs, the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller with the DeviceNet
communication protocol can be configured to the ADNX Architecture, in which
Sub-net Sub-net the ArmorStart is part of the DeviceNet subnet, using the Bulletin 1738-ADNX
Node 1 Node 2 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product.

The ArmorStart offers a robust IP67/NEMA Type 4 enclosure design, which is suitable for water wash-down environments. The ArmorStart
products are also offered with NEMA Type 4X rating, suitable for environment wash down with caustic chemicals used in the food and
beverage industry. The wash-down rating is 1000 psi for the NEMA Type 4X rated devices. The modular plug-and-play design offers simplicity
in wiring the installation. The quick disconnects for the I/O, communications, and motor connection reduces the wiring time and eliminates
wiring errors. The ArmorStart offers as standard, four DC inputs and two relay outputs to be used with sensors and actuators respectively,for
monitoring and controlling the application process. The ArmorStart’s LED status indication and built-in diagnostics capabilities, allows for
ease of maintenance and troubleshooting. The optional Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) keypad allows for local start/stop control and Emergency Stop
system configuration at the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller.
The Bulletin 283 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller offers short circuit protection per UL 508 and IEC 60947. The ArmorStart is rated for
local-disconnect service by incorporating the Bulletin 140 Motor Protector as the local-disconnect, eliminating the need for additional
components. The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers are suitable for group motor installations.

Peer-to-Peer Communications

The Zone Control capabilities of ArmorStart

Distributed Motor Controller 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 allows one
ArmorStart to consume data directly from up to
four other DeviceNet nodes without going
through the network scanner. These direct
communications between conveyor zones are
beneficial in a merge, diverter, and
accumulation conveyor applications.

ArmorStart to ArmorPoint Connectivity - (Networks other than DeviceNet)

When connecting to the Bulletin 1738 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product, a network
adapter and at least one ArmorPoint Digital Output, Digital Input, Analog, AC and Relay
product, or Specialty product must be selected. The ArmorPoint Distributed I/O can
accomodate up to 63 modules per network node. The cable that connects the
ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product to the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is the
Bulletin 280A-EXT1. The 280A-EXT1 includes an ArmorPoint bus extension cable and a
network terminating resistor.
Note: Access to DeviceLogix programming is available with RSNetworx for DeviceNet.

If an additional ArmorStart Distributed Motor

Controller is to be connected, the Bulletin 280A-
EXTCABLE will be required. A maximum of two
ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers can be
connected to the Bulletin 1738 Distributed I/O.

I/O Expansion with DeviceNet

DeviceNet Trunk

ADNX If the I/O capability of the Bulletin 280/281D ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Architecture Controller needs to be expanded beyond the standard four inputs and two
outputs, the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller with the DeviceNet
communication protocol can be configured to the ADNX Architecture, in which
Sub-net Sub-net the ArmorStart is part of the DeviceNet subnet, using the Bulletin 1738-ADNX
Node 1 Node 2 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product.

Description
The Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is an integrated, pre-engineered starter for variable frequency AC drive applications.
The ArmorStart offers a robust IP67/NEMA Type 4 enclosure design, which is suitable for water wash-down environments. The ArmorStart
products are also offered with NEMA Type 4X rating, suitable for environment wash down with caustic chemicals used in the food and
beverage industry. The wash-down rating is 1000 psi for the NEMA Type 4X rated devices. The modular plug-and-play design offers simplicity
in wiring the installation. The quick disconnects for the I/O, communication, and motor connection reduce the wiring time and eliminate wiring
errors. The ArmorStart offers, as standard, four DC inputs and two relay outputs to be used with sensors and actuators respectively, for
monitoring and controlling the application process. The ArmorStart’s LED status indication and built-in diagnostics capabilities allows ease of
maintenance and troubleshooting. The optional Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) keypad allows for local start/stop control at the ArmorStart Distributed
Motor Controller.
The Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller offers short circuit protection per UL 508C and IEC 60947-1. The ArmorStart is rated
for local-disconnect service by incorporating the Bulletin 140 Motor Protector as the local-disconnect, eliminating the need for additional
components. The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers are suitable for group motor installations.

Peer-to-Peer Communications

The Zone Control capabilities of ArmorStart

Distributed Motor Controller 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 allows one
ArmorStart to consume data directly from up to
four other DeviceNet nodes without going
through the network scanner. These direct
communications between conveyor zones are
beneficial in a merge, diverter, and accumulation
conveyor applications.

ArmorStart to ArmorPoint Connectivity - (Networks other than DeviceNet)

When connecting to the Bulletin 1738 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product, a network
adapter and at least one ArmorPoint Digital Output, Digital Input, Analog, AC and Relay
product, or Specialty product must be selected. The ArmorPoint Distributed I/O can
accomodate up to 63 modules per network node. The cable that connects the
ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product to the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is the
Bulletin 280A-EXT1. The 280A-EXT1 includes an ArmorPoint bus extension cable and a
network terminating resistor.
Note: Access to DeviceLogix programming is available with RSNetworx for DeviceNet.

If an additional ArmorStart Distributed Motor

Controller is to be connected, the Bulletin 280A-
EXTCABLE will be required. A maximum of two
ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers can be
connected to the Bulletin 1738 Distributed I/O.

I/O Expansion with DeviceNet

DeviceNet Trunk

ADNX If the I/O capability of the Bulletin 280/281D ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Architecture Controller needs to be expanded beyond the standard four inputs and two
outputs, the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller with the DeviceNet
communication protocol can be configured to the ADNX Architecture, in which
Sub-net Sub-net the ArmorStart is part of the DeviceNet subnet, using the Bulletin 1738-ADNX
Node 1 Node 2 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product.
