Chapter 1 Product Overview
Feature Description Standard Features Across Product Family
UL Listed “Suitable for Group Motor Applications” — Where NFPA 70
(NEC) or 79 are required installation standards, this Listing allows two or more
motors to be connected to the same branch circuit without individual motor
branch short circuit or ground fault protection. Refer to Appendix A for details.
At-motor disconnect switch — ArmorStart LT offers a local ON/Off motor
disconnecting means with lockout-tagout provision. Industrial standards require
a local at-motor disconnect to be within eye sight of the motor for maintenance
or other shutdown reasons. Refer to your installation code for details.
User configurable I/O — ArmorStart LT offers 6 user configurable I/O points
to be used with sensors and actuators. By default all 6 points are configured as
sinking 24V DC inputs. The user has the option to select any point as a sourcing
24V DC output.
DeviceNet Network Capabilities
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller delivers advanced capabilities to
access parameter settings and provides fault diagnostics, and remote start-stop
control.
DeviceLogix — ArmorStart LT offers local programmable logic via
DeviceLogix. DeviceLogix is a stand-alone program that resides within the
ArmorStart LT. It is programmed locally using the Add-On-Profile and
implements operations such as, AND, OR, NOT, Timers, Counters, Latches,
and Analog operations. DeviceLogix can run as a stand-alone application,
independent of the network or collaboratively with the PLC. However,
unswitched control power must be maintained for DeviceLogix to operate.
Zone Interlock Protocol (ZIP) — The zone control capabilities of ArmorStart
LT is ideal for motored conveyors. Zone Interlocking Parameters (ZIP) 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.
Quick disconnect for I/O and network — ArmorStart LT offers quick
disconnect connectors for I/O and communications.
DeviceNet node address — ArmorStart LT offers external accessible address
switches for device node address configuration. The address can be set statically
or dynamically.
EMI filter — ArmorStart LT for VFD application (Bulletin 294) provides an
internal EMI filter and is CE compliant. For CE compliant installations refer to
the recommended EMI/RFI cord grip accessory. For availability of the quick
