Rockwell Automation 284 ArmorStart User Manual - Manual (Page 20)

1-8 Product Overview
Inputs
The inputs are single-keyed (2 inputs per connector), which are
sourced from DeviceNet power (24V DC), with LED status indication
- Not available with on the Bulletin 280A/281A, 283A, or 284A.
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 and control power to the device. One method
offered is the traditional conduit entrance with a ¾ in. and 1 in.
conduit hole opening for wiring three-phase and control power. The
second method offers connectivity to the ArmorConnect™ power
media. Factory-installed receptacles are provided for connectivity to
both three-phase and control 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, 283D, or 284D Distributed Motor Controller.
ArmorStart with ArmorPoint® I/O
The Bulletin 280A/281A, 283A, and 284A ArmorStart Distributed
Motor Controller allows connectivity to the ArmorPoint backplane.
The ArmorPoint I/O system can communicate using DeviceNet,
ControlNet, or EtherNet communication protocols. In addition to the
different network protocols, the ArmorPoint Distributed I/O products
allow the I/O capability to be expanded beyond the standard two
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.
When using the ArmorPoint backplane, a maximum of two
ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers can be connected to the
ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product.
