ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor Controllers
Description/Features

Product Line Description

ArmorStart LT, Bulletin 290/291/294 is an integrated, pre-engineered distributed motor control solution. It provides excellent performance at a
great value to meet today’s needs in size, simplicity, and performance. It also provides material handling equipment suppliers with a compact
footprint which is essential when space is at a premium, without sacrificing performance or functionality. The user will experience premier
integration with ArmorStart LT and the Rockwell Automation family of Logix PLCs.

ArmorStart LT is available with Full Voltage, Full Voltage Reversing, or Variable Speed motor control performance. It is equipped with a UL
Listed at-motor disconnect that supports a lockout tagout (LOTO) provision. ArmorStart LT is listed suitable for group motor installations per
UL and can be applied with either branch circuit breaker protection or fuse protection. It provides a robust IP66/UL Type 4/12 enclosure
suitable for water washdown environments in a single box construction that will minimize inventory needs. All external connections are made
from the bottom of the unit. The power, control, and motor connections are made via a gland plate, as standard.

ArmorStart LT provides several standard features. It can be ordered with EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet network support. Each unit will be
equipped with quick disconnect receptacles for I/O and the network. Users will experience tools such as a Logix Add-On Profile (AOP), setup
wizards, auto-generated tags, and embedded webserver support, that allows access to status and diagnostics from anywhere in the world.
Lastly, the electronic control module (ECM) includes externally accessible node address switches, configurable I/O, and comprehensive
status and diagnostics LEDs.

The ArmorStart LT can also be configured with several options that can further reduce installation and commissioning time. Quick
disconnects are available for power, control, and motor connections, using ArmorConnect cable solutions. A Hand-Off-Auto keypad for local
control is an available option. The optional internal power supply (IPS), eliminates the need to run separate control power. ArmorStart LT
Bulletin 294 can be configured with an electromechanical brake connection for the motor brake.

Features — Standard 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.

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.

User configureable I/O - ArmorStart LT offers six user configurable I/O points to be used with sensors and actuators. By default all six
points are configured as sinking 24V DC inputs. The user has the option to select any point as a sourcing 24V DC output.

RSLogix™ 5000 Add-On Profile (AOP) - ArmorStart LT offers for

Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™ PLCs a downloadable
Add-on Profile (AOP). The AOP simplifies setup and commissioning via
predefined tags and a setup wizard. The AOP allows copy and paste
functionality for quick setup and configuration of multiple ArmorStart LTs.

Local logic via 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 AOP and
implements operations such as, AND, OR, NOT, Timers, Counters,
Latches, and Analog.

Quick disconnect for I/O and Network - ArmorStart LT offers quick disconnect connectors for I/O and communications.
DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP node address - ArmorStart LT offers externally accessible address switches for node address configuration.
The address can also be set statically or dynamically.

EMI filter - ArmorStart LT 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 disconnect shielded motor cable contact your local Rockwell
Automation sales office or Allen-Bradley distributor.

Local status and diagnostics - ArmorStart LT offers comprehensive status and diagnostics for I/O, Network, and device health via 12 LEDs
found on the electronic control module (ECM). If a fault occurs, a local fault reset button allows the user to quickly get the process started
after corrective action is taken.

Features/Options

Features (Continued)

Peer-to-Peer (ZIP) - ArmorStart LT for DeviceNet application provides zone

control capabilities ideal for small, locally controlled conveyor sections. The
Zone Interlocking Parameters (ZIP) allow one ArmorStart LT to consume
data directly from up to four other DeviceNet nodes that support ZIP
without going through the network scanner. These direct communications
between conveyor zones are beneficial in merge, diverter, and accumulation
conveyor applications.

Gland plate entrance - ArmorStart LT offers conduit holes or quick-disconnect receptacles for connecting three-phase, control power, and
motor.

Network Options
Native EtherNet/IP - ArmorStart LT supports native EtherNet/IP. EtherNet/IP allows complete integration of control and information.
EtherNet/IP allows users to integrate I/O control, device configuration, and data collection across multiple networks enabling internet
connectivity and information, anytime and anywhere.

Native DeviceNet - ArmorStart LT supports native DeviceNet. DeviceNet is a device-level network for industrial automation. It offers robust
and efficient data handling.

Embedded dual port switch - ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version includes an embedded dual port 10/100mb/s ethernet switch that supports
Linear, Star, or Device Level Ring (DLR) topology.

Device Level Ring (DLR) - ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version offers DLR support with beacon frame performance. DLR provides a single-
fault tolerant network solution that is self healing.

IEEE 1588 transparent clock - ArmorStart LT EtherNet/IP version supports the IEEE 1588 transparent clock.

Factory-Installed Options
Internal Power Supply (IPS) - ArmorStart LT offers the user an optional 24V DC IPS. The IPS provides all control and I/O power and is
sourced from the incoming 3-phase power. The at-motor disconnect will remove motor and output power when in the OFF position.

Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) keypad - ArmorStart LT offers an optional local Hand- Off-Auto keypad. This key pads allows local start/ stop motor
control regardless of PLC status.

Bulletin 290 Bulletin 291 Bulletin 294

Source brake - ArmorStart LT Bulletin 294 provides an optional internally controlled electromechanical motor brake contactor. The motor
brake power is sourced from 3-phase power. Short circuit and ground fault protection is provided by branch circuit protection; no internal
fuse or circuit breaker is provided.

Quick disconnect - ArmorStart LT offers a plug-n-play solution that simplifies wiring and installation. These factory installed quick disconnect
receptacles provide connectivity to separately selected ArmorConnect media and accessories for three-phase, control, and motor
connections. UL Listing is maintained when used with appropriate ArmorConnect power media and accessories.
Conduit/Blank gland - Two conduit/cord ready gland options are available. This gland will support a trunk and drop or daisy chain option.

Switched and Unswitched Power

ArmorStart LT utilizes 24V DC control power for communications and I/O. The control power terminal connections are labeled A1, A2, and A3.
Switched power (A1) will supply the outputs. Unswitched power (A3) will supply the logic power and sensor inputs. Unswitched power is
required for the product to function.
