Peer-to-Peer Communications

Click to enlarge - armorstart3_ZIP ZONE diagram


The Zone Control capabilities of ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is ideal for large horsepower (0.5…10 Hp) motored conveyors. The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers have built-in DeviceNet Communications, DeviceLogix technology, and the added Zone Interlocking Parameters (ZIP) which allows one ArmorStart to consume data directly from up to four other DeviceNet nodes without going through the network scanner. These direct communications between conveyor zones are beneficial in a merge, diverter, and accumulation conveyor applications.

ArmorStart to ArmorPoint Connectivity - (Networks other than DeviceNet)

Click to enlarge - armorstart1


When connecting to the Bulletin 1738 ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product, a network adapter and at least one ArmorPoint Digital Output, Digital Input, Analog, AC and Relay product, or Specialty product must be selected. The ArmorPoint Distributed I/O can accomodate up to 63 modules per network node. The cable that connects the ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product to the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is the Bulletin 280A-EXT1. The 280A-EXT1 includes an ArmorPoint bus extension cable and a network terminating resistor.

Note: Access to DeviceLogix programming is available with RSNetworx for DeviceNet.

If an additional ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller is to be connected, the Bulletin 280A-EXTCABLE will be required. A maximum of two ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers can be connected to the Bulletin 1738 Distributed I/O.

I/O Expansion with DeviceNet

If the I/O capability of the Bulletin 280/281D ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller needs to be expanded beyond the standard four inputs and two outputs, the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller with the DeviceNet communication protocol can be configured to the ADNX Architecture, in which the ArmorStart is part of the DeviceNet subnet, using the Bulletin 1738-ADNX ArmorPoint Distributed I/O product.
