Communications & Control Programming Manual

Introduction

This programming manual provides the information required to configure,

program, and control the ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor

Controller. The ArmorStart provides integration within the architecture to

deliver information with enhanced control and access to parameters, status, and

diagnostics for faster response to changing environments.

Included in this programming manual is a section which will show the user how

to add an ArmorStart Add-On-Profile (AOP) to RSLogix™ 5000. The user will

become familiar with the AOP tabs and how they can be used to connect, obtain

status and configure the ArmorStart. This programming manual will also show

the user how to access the internal web server via the web browser. It reviews the

functionality of the web server which includes accessing the parameters,

diagnostics, and administrative settings.

The user will learn how to do basic control of the Bulletin 280E or Bulletin 284E

ArmorStart EtherNet/IP unit using Ladder Logic in RSLogix™ 5000. This

method of control occurs over the EtherNet network using a Programmable

Logic Controller (PLC). There is also a section which focuses on utilizing

RSLogix™ 5000 to configure the ArmorStart via the AOP parameter list.

The Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) control in Bulletins 280E and 284E ArmorStart

units, is discussed in this publication. Depending on the bulletin number of the

product, the HOA allows the user to run the motor forward (Bulletins 280E and

284E), stop the motor (Bulletins 280E and 284E), run the motor in reverse

(Bulletin 284E), or jog the motor both forward and reverse (Bulletin 284E).

Appendix A provides additional information regarding diagnostics and faults,

including clearing faults. Appendix B provides additional information in regards

to IP Address configuration using the BootP/DHCP Server, the Rotary Network

Address Switches, and the web browser. Appendix C provides an example on

how to perform a Type 1 Reset which is necessary to reset the web browser login

and password. The user should be familiar with and have access to RSLogix™

5000 version 17.01 or later. This programming software package is referred to

often in this manual.

Connect and Configure ArmorStart with

Add-On-Profile (AOP)

This section will show the AOP tabs and how they can be used to connect, obtain

status, and configure the ArmorStart. Before the walkthrough is started, the

RSLogix 5000 software should be open and an AOP displayed as shown below.

The screenshot above displays that the AOP has seven tabs that can be used to

configure and/or monitor your ArmorStart. The following lists the tabs and

whether or not they are editable with the controller when OFFLINE, ONLINE,

or both:

• General – OFFLINE

• Connection – OFFLINE

• Module Info – ONLINE

• Parameters – OFFLINE/ONLINE

• Internet Protocol – ONLINE

• Port Configuration – ONLINE

• Network – ONLINE

The last five tabs in the list will not display information until the ONLINE

connection has been established with the ArmorStart. The General, Connection,

and Parameters tabs will be discussed first because they are used to define

OFFLINE settings so that connection with the ArmorStart can be established.

Offline Connection

General Tab

Click on the General tab to display the following:

This tab allows you to name your module, which should be descriptive and

representative of the module. The IP Address of the module must also be input

so that communication can be established. The IP Address should be the one

defined using the BootP/DHCP Server, the Rotary Network Address Switches

or the ArmorStart internal web server. For more information on how to set-up

the IP address of the ArmorStart using these methods, check Appendix B

.

For the majority of cases, the Host Name and Module Definition section of this

tab do not require any adjustment. Changes to either of these should only be

made if you are familiar with the functionality of each of these sections.

Connection Tab

Click on the Connection tab to display the following:

The Request Packet Interval (RPI) indicates the maximum frequency at which

data will be received. It is possible that data could come more quickly than the

time interval assigned in the RPI. In the majority of cases, the default 20 ms

should be the optimal setting. If you check the Inhibit Module option,

connection to controller tags will be broken. The Major Fault on Controller if

Connection Fails While in Run Mode option should be checked to ensure that

the controller processes the connection fault with the ArmorStart. The Use

Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP is checked to use the Unicast mode

instead of the EtherNet/IP mode. This appears only for modules using

RSLogix 5000 software version 18 or later which supports Unicast.

Parameters Tab

Click on the Parameters tab to display the following:

The parameters are divided into groups based on the type of ArmorStart. By

clicking in the Group drop down menu you can choose which parameter group is

displayed. When the Parameters tab is selected, the tab defaults to the Drive

Setup (Bulletin 284E) or Starter Setup (Bulletin 280E) groups depending on

the ArmorStart. These Setup groups are the minimum required parameters to get

the ArmorStart running.

After this parameter group has been set, the next time that the Parameters tab is

opened, all of the parameters will be shown and the tab will no longer default to

the setup groups.

Online Connection

Now that the offline connection settings have been set, connect to the

ArmorStart and review the last five AOP tabs.

Note: If you are using a Cat. No. 1756-ENBT EtherNet module to communicate with

the PLC, verify that you have updated the module’s firmware to Revision 6.001 or

later. The latest firmware can be found at http://support.rockwellautomation.com/

to a new ArmorStart and you just created the ArmorStart object and have not

made any changes in the parameters, the ArmorStart correlation should not find

any discrepancy.

Note: If you make any changes to the parameters offline, they will not be

downloaded to the ArmorStart when the connection is made (going Online). For

the Offline changes to take effect you must go to the Parameters tab. Once you

click the Parameters tab, ArmorStart correlation will take place and then the

changes can be downloaded to the ArmorStart.

Module Info Tab

Click on the Module Info tab to display the following:

This tab will display general identification information, as well as status

information about the ArmorStart. It is important to note that the information

displayed in this tab will not

be constantly updated. After you click on the

Module Info tab, the AOP queries the ArmorStart once for the information

displayed in this tab and does not query the ArmorStart for the values again. If

after the initial query the status of the ArmorStart changes, for example a fault

occurs, the change in the status will not be automatically updated. The Refresh

button must be pressed to request the AOP for another ArmorStart query.

Note: A connection status (offline, online, downloading or uploading) is

provided at the bottom left of the tab window. The connection status appears in
