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.

Notes:


Chapter 2

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/controlflash/.

1. If a controller path is not set in the field shown below, you must first set a

path before going online with the controller. Click on the RSwho button shown below.

2. Expand and browse the AB_ETHIP-1, Ethernet driver.

3. Select the Controller path. Then click Go Online.



4. The following will appear and for this example, click on Download to connect to the controller.

5. If a download confirmation dialog box appears, click Download again.

6. Click Yes to bring the controller back to Remote Run.



7. The controller should now be online. If at any point you go offline and a path is selected, you can also go online by clicking the Offline drop down in the upper left corner of the screen. Click on Go Online to connect to the ArmorStart, as shown below.

Note: If a yellow triangle appears next to the ArmorStart Icon in the Controller Organizer Tree as shown below, it means that the connection is faulted. The problem must be fixed before you can connect to the ArmorStart. The next steps assume that the connection was successful.



Parameters Tab

Return to the Parameters tab again once the AOP is opened by selecting the ArmorStart in the project tree. Notice that when clicking in the Parameters tab, an ArmorStart Correlation pop-up window is displayed, as shown below.

This indicates that the AOP is comparing the parameter data entered offline vs. the parameter data stored in the ArmorStart. If any discrepancies are found between the parameters in the AOP and the parameters in the ArmorStart, a window will pop-up, as shown below, asking you to decide which parameters you want to keep.

If you want to keep the parameters in the AOP, select Download. If you want to keep the parameters in the ArmorStart, select Upload. Otherwise, select Cancel. Clicking Cancel will lock the user out of viewing the values. If you are connected



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 all the tabs.



Internet Protocol Tab

Click on the Internet Protocol tab to display the following:

If the IP address was set up using the Rotary Network Address Switches, default settings for the IP would already be established and you will not be able to make any changes in this tab. In most cases, you would not need to make any changes in this tab and it will only display the current IP Settings Configuration.

Port Configuration Tab

Click on the Port Configuration tab to display the following:



This tab is used to enable or disable a physical port in the module. The ports will normally be in Auto Negotiate mode, which in general, is the recommended setting. Otherwise, you have to physically set the Speed or Duplex selection in this tab. It is important to note that although there are two physical ports, they act as one. Therefore, when you press either of the Port Diagnostic buttons, information coming from both of the physical ports will be displayed.

Network Tab

Click on this tab to display the following:

This tab displays information about the network configuration, such as the type of topology (linear or device level ring).

ArmorStart Internal Web Server

Rockwell Automation provides an internal embedded web server with each ArmorStart Ethernet/IP. The internal web server allows you to view information and configure the ArmorStart via a web browser. You can also set up the ArmorStart Ethernet/IP from the web server to send e-mail notifications. The embedded web server is used to access configuration and status data. It provides the user with the ability to view and modify the device configuration without having access to RSLogix 5000. Security in the form of an administrative password can be set. The default login is Administrator. There is no password set by default. This programming manual will demonstrate how to access some of the functions of the internal web server.

How to Access the ArmorStart Ethernet/IP Internal Web Server

1. Open your preferred internet web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the desired ArmorStart. For this example, 192.168.1.1 will be used. 192.168.1.1 is not the factory default IP address.

3. The web server shown below should appear in your web browser.



4. From here you are able to view parameter settings, the device status, and diagnostics by clicking in any of the folders listed in the left side of the web server.

5. If you click in any of the folders they will expand and show their content.



6. If you click in any of the folder's contents, the web server will display the content in multiple tabs.

Navigate the folders using the tabs or the sub-groups categories in the folders. In the screen shown above, you can find the ArmorStart's Basic Status tab where information such as the FLA setting, last fault experienced, and more, can be obtained.

Note: Set refresh rate on the bottom of the screen shown above to 2 seconds to be able to observe basic status while using the browser.

Web Server Functionality Once the web server has been accessed from the web browser, you can click in any of the folders in the left side of the web server to look for the desired information or to configure the desired parameter. Next, the functionality of the web server will be discussed, starting with the Parameters folder.



Parameters

1. Click on the Parameters folder. This will expand the folder. The parameters are divided into different categories, as shown in the figure below.

2. Parameters can be viewed and modified using the web browser. For example, to edit Setup parameter(s), start by clicking either Starter Setup or Drive Setup group to display the following screen.



3. To modify a parameter click the Edit button. This will bring up the following pop-up window, which prompts the user to enter the User Name and Password. The default User Name is Administrator and there is no password set by default.

Note: The user is expected to change the User Name (Log in) and Password to avoid unauthorized access to the device configuration. This process is described later in this publication.

4. Once the correct User Name and Password have been entered, the parameters can be edited.

Note: It is recommended to use the RSLogix 5000 AOP to make parameter changes. This ensures changes will be recorded in the project file. The Web Server should only be used to change parameters if it is the only available option.

Diagnostics

1. The Diagnostics folder contains information regarding the ArmorStart. The information is grouped in different categories, as shown in the figure below. This information can be used to troubleshoot or take preventative action before a problem arises in the specific application that is running.



2. Clicking in the Diagnostics Overview group will provide general information about the ArmorStart, for example, what is shown in the figure below.

Setting Up the Device Password

1. The Administrative Settings folder will allow you to configure the network, security access and e-mail notifications. By clicking in the Administrative Settings folder, the folder will expand and the following is displayed:



2. In order to make any changes, you must have the proper security clearance. If you click on any of the subcategories, you will be prompted to enter a User Name and Password. The default User Name is Administrator and there is no password set by default.

3. Set up a password to make sure that only authorized personnel have access to Administrative Settings. Click in the Password Configuration tab (category), enter Administrator for the user name and click OK. Enter a password if desired and then click Apply Changes.



Setting Up the E-mail Notifications

1. As mentioned earlier in this publication, e-mail notifications can be set up using the ArmorStart internal web server. Click on E-mail Configuration to bring up the following screen:

Fill out the necessary information, choose the desired faults and warnings to get notifications from, and click Apply Changes. The e-mail notifications will be sent via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The following are e-mail triggers:

• When a trip occurs.• When a trip is cleared.• When a warning occurs.• When a warning is cleared.

Note: "Cleared Event" e-mails will only be sent when all events have been cleared but only if a trip event has previously been sent.

ArmorStart Bulletin 280E: Full Voltage Starter

Overview of the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E Demo Unit

Control via RSLogix™ 5000 Ladder Logic

This section shows the user how to control the 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).

Note: This section does not focus on showing the user how to use RSLogix 5000 or create Ladder Logic, instead the focus is on the concept of control over the network.

1. Download the ArmorStart_280E_Communications_and_Control_QS_ACD file from the Rockwell Automation Sample Code Library or access the following link: http://samplecode.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/public/documents/webassets/sc_legal_info.hcst?dID=80368. Click I Accept, to accept the terms and conditions of using the Sample Code Library and extract the ArmorStart_QuickStart_280E.ACD file from the zip file. Once downloaded on your computer, double click the ACD file to open it.


http://samplecode.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/public/documents/webassets/sc_legal_info.hcst?dID=80368



2. Open the AS_280E routine by double clicking on the AS_280E routine name, designated by the circle below. The routine can be found on the left side of the screen in the Controller Organizer.

3. The ladder logic for the routine should appear in the main screen. Rung 0 uses the photo sensor in the demo unit to energize the output contactor and applies voltage to a load, while at the same time turns on the signal light so the user knows when the output is energized. Rung 1 will be used to clear a fault later on.

4. To control the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E using RSLogix 5000, you must first fill in the correct tag names for the various rung elements for Rung 0. Rung 1 will be used later and will be left as is.a. Select the Photo Sensor tag for the input rung element in Rung 0. Since

the photo sensor is connected to Input 0 on the ArmorStart unit, the tag needed is the AS_EIP_280:I.In0 tag. i. Double click on the question mark to bring up the drop-down box.

Then click on the drop-down box arrow to see all the available tag options.



ii. Expand the AS_EIP_280:I tags by clicking on the plus next to AS_EIP_280:I and click on the AS_EIP_280:I.In0 to select the tag for Input 0 and hit Enter.

Note: The "AS_EIP_280" prefix found on all of tags shown in the figure above came from the name that was given to the ArmorStart unit in the General tab of the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E Properties menu. If the name given to the unit was "ArmorStart", then all the tags in the figure above would have "ArmorStart" as the prefix to the tag names.

iii. The photo sensor is now set to be the input for turning on the signal light and energizing the output. The ladder logic element should look like the figure below.

b. Select the Run Forward tag for one of the output ladder elements.



i. Double click on the question mark over one of the output ladder elements and click on the drop-down arrow to show the available tag options for this element.

ii. Expand the options for the AS_EIP_280:O by clicking on the plus next to AS_EIP_280:O. Select AS_EIP_280:O.RunForward tag name and hit Enter.

iii. You have now set one of the outputs to be the Run Forward command that energizes the output of the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E. The ladder logic element should look like the figure below.



c. Select the signal light as the other output ladder element that turns on when you wave your hand in front of the photo sensor. Since the signal light is connected to Output A of the ArmorStart unit, you are actually selecting the OutA tag.i. Double click on the question mark over the second of the output

ladder elements and click on the drop-down arrow to show the available tag options for this element.

ii. Expand the options for the AS_EIP_280:O by clicking on the plus next to AS_EIP_280:O. Select AS_EIP_280:O.OutA tag name and hit Enter.

iii. You have now set the second of the outputs to be Output A that turns on the signal light. The ladder logic element should now look like the figure below.



5. The completed Rung 0 should look like this. It does not matter which output ladder element is on the top or bottom.

6. Save the project by clicking the Save icon or pressing CTRL+S.

7. Bring the controller online.a. Click on the controller icon in the upper left hand corner of the screen

next to the word “Offline”, to show the available controller options. Click on the Go Online option.

b. You may see a screen pop up that is similar to the figure below. Click on Download to download the program to the controller.

Photo Sensor

Run Forward

Signal Light



c. Another screen will pop up confirming that you want to download the program to the controller. Click on Download once again.

d. A final screen may appear asking if you want to change the controller back to Remote Run. Click Yes.

e. The upper left hand corner of your screen should now match the figure below. The controller is in remote run mode. The I/O Not Responding indicator should be blinking green since the RSLogix 5000 program was written to accommodate both the Bulletin 280E and the Bulletin 284E, but you are only connected to one of these ArmorStart bulletin numbers.

8. You have just added a few different tag names from different elements of the system, downloaded the ladder logic program to the controller, and now have the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E unit up and running. Wave your hand in front of the photo sensor, you should see the signal light turn on and also hear the output contactor close. Move your hand away from the sensor, the light should turn back off and you should hear the output contactor de-energize.



Configuring the ArmorStart using the Parameter List in RSLogix 5000

This section focuses on configuring the ArmorStart EtherNet/IP unit using the parameter list located in RSLogix 5000. The parameter list allows the user to view and modify various parameters in the ArmorStart unit.

1. Before accessing the ArmorStart's parameters, bring the unit Online. Refer to Step 7 on page 36 if needed.

2. To access the parameter list, bring up the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E Properties menu by double clicking on the ArmorStart Bulletin 280E element in the I/O configuration tree.

3. The Properties menu should appear in the main screen. Click on the Parameters tab to view the parameter list. Using the Group drop-down box, you can view the parameters by parameter group or view all the available parameters at once. The Parameters tab displays the parameter number (ID), name, value, minimum and maximum allowed values, and a parameter description. Set the Group to <All Parameters> to show a linear list of all the available parameters.



4. Reset the unit back to the factory default values by clicking on the Reset Defaults button.

5. The following screen will pop up. This screen is confirming that you want to reset the parameters within the ArmorStart unit. Click Yes to continue.

Appendix B

Configuring EtherNet/IP Ports

Before using your ArmorStart in an EtherNet/IP network you may need to configure an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This will show you how to set up the IP Address of an ArmorStart in three different ways: using the BootP/DHCP Server, the Rotary Network Address Switches, and the internal web server.

Note: When you are using the AOP, you are not configuring the IP Address of the ArmorStart, you are just assigning the same IP address that was set-up using the Rotary Network Address Switches so that communication is established.

Using the BootP/DHCP Server

The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix 5000 installation CD. The ArmorStart EtherNet/IP adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory default) to use the utility.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. When DHCP is enabled (factory default Enabled), the unit will request its network configuration from a BootP/DHCP server. Any configuration received from a DHCP server will be stored in non-volatile memory. ArmorStart EtherNet/IP will remember the last successful address if DHCP is enabled. The possibility exists that the adapter will be assigned a different IP address, which would cause the adapter to cease communicating with the ControlLogix® controller.

Using the Rotary Network Address Switches

The three rotary network address switches can be found on the I/O section of the ArmorStart. The rotary network address switches are set to 999 and DHCP is enabled as the factory default. The ArmorStart reads these switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid IP address between 1…254.

When switches are set to a valid number the IP address will be 192.168.1._ _ _ [switch setting]. To set up the IP Address using the rotary network address switches:


Appendix B ArmorStart® EtherNet/IP™ Communications & Control Programming Manual

1. Remove the protective caps from the rotary switches.

2. Set the Network IP address by adjusting the three switches on the front of the I/O module using a flat head screwdriver

3. Set up the switches in a range from 001 to 254. In this example we are setting them to 163.

When the switches are set to a valid number, the adapter's IP address will be 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches). In this example the IP address is 192.168.1.163. The adapter's subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. A power cycle is required for any new IP address to take effect.

Note: The user cannot change the IP address from 192.168.1.xxx when using the IP address switches. The top three octets are fixed. DHCP, BootP, or the embedded web server must be used to configure the address to a value different than 192.168.1.xxx. Also, the adapter will not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain name System when using the rotary switch settings.

4. If the switches are set to an invalid value (such as 000 or value greater than 254), the adapter will check to see if the DHCP is enable. If so, the adapter requests an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server will also assign other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters. If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter will use the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.

ArmorStart® EtherNet/IP™ Communications & Control Programming Manual Appendix B

Using the ArmorStart Internal Web Server

Rockwell Automation provides an internal embedded web server with each ArmorStart Ethernet/IP. The internal web server allows you to view information and configure the ArmorStart via a web browser. The internal web server can be used to set up the ArmorStart IP address by performing the following this steps:

1. Open your preferred internet web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the desired ArmorStart. In this case we'll use 192.168.1.1.

Note: 192.168.1.1 is not the factory default IP address.

3. The web server shown below should appear in your web browser.



4. Click in the administrative settings folder to expand it and the following is displayed:

5. Click in the Network Configuration tab and a prompt to enter a User Name and a Password is displayed. Enter the pre-set User Name and Password or if they have not been set up previously, use the default User Name and Password. The default User Name is Administrator and there is no password set by default.


ArmorStart® EtherNet/IP™ Communications & Control Programming Manual Appendix B

6. After the appropriate User Name and Password is entered, the screen below is displayed. From this screen you are able to change the Ethernet Configuration. For example, the default IP address shown is changed from 192.168.1.1 to 10.10.10.101. After a power cycle the new address must be used to access the web page.



Notes:


Appendix C

Type 1 Reset of an ArmorStart EtherNet/IP

You will to perform a Type 1 Reset in the event that the login and password for the product is lost and forgotten.

A Type 1 Reset will be sent to the product’s identity object. This reset will place the ArmorStart in an "Out of the Box" configuration (except for those with IP addresses that are statically configured). The controller will then performs a power cycle.

In the following example, the user will utilize Rockwell Automation RSLogix 5000 PLC programming software to create a Type 1 Reset. Other tools can be used, provided the class, instance, and attribute values can be sent to the product’s identify object.

1. Within RSLogix 5000, select File>New to create a new project. Ensure the project is offline.

2. If an Add-On-Profile (AOP) window is open, click the Cancel button to close it at the bottom of the AOP screen.

3. Close any internet browser windows, including Internet Explorer that are being used to view the ArmorStart web browser.

4. Unplug any inputs and outputs that are connected to the ArmorStart unit.

WARNING: A Type 1 Reset will cause all parameters and web page login to revert to their factory defaults. No user date will be saved.

WARNING: A Type 1 Reset should only be executed when necessary or when the login and password must be cleared and set to the factory default setting.

IMPORTANT For those using an Internet Browser with multiple tabs open, you will need to close the entire browser window, not just the tab within the ArmorStart browser.

WARNING: A Type 1 Reset cannot be done if there is an I/O device plugged into the product port. This may cause an unsafe state to occur in the ArmorStart or the environment around the ArmorStart.
