Connections
Two Class 1 connections for I/O transfer will be supported and six Class 3
explicit connections will be supported. The Class 1 connections are:
• Data
• Listen Only
Only one Data connection is allowed. A maximum of two Listen Only
connections are supported (shared with the Data connection). This connection
type is dependent on another connection to exist. If that connection (Data) is
closed, the listen only connection shall be closed as well.
The connection sizes are:
Configured by
The ArmorStart LT may be configured via the ArmorStart LT’s web page or
RS Logix 5000. Often times, customers utilize the web interface to configure
the unit before it is ever connected to the PLC. The AOP will require the user
to specify how the ArmorStart LT is configured, once added to RS Logix 5000.
The valid options are:
• “Web Page” — The unit is configured by the ArmorStart LT’s web pages.
The AOP will NOT display any page or content of a page that allows
configuration of the unit. In this mode Connection Type will include a
“Backup” and “Restore” feature. The Backup selection will store parameter
data in the RSLogix 5000 programming file and in the PLC. The Restore
selection will allow the user to manually re-configure a replacement unit.
• “RSLogix 5000” — The unit is configured by RSLogix 5000. The AOP
controls all parameter configurations. Any change made using the webpage
will be over written by the PLC configuration. When the user changes the
“Configured By” field from “Web Page” to “RSLogix 5000”, the values
stored by the “Backup” function will be copied to the configuration
in the PLC. The “Backup/Restore” will no longer be displayed.
