Quick Reference

Troubleshooting

There are four LEDs on the front of the ArmorStart that can provide an

indication as to the health of the device. The following is a brief explanation

of the operation of each LED.

Table 6 LED Status Indication

Table 7 Network LED Status Indication

Fault Definitions Some of the Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller faults

are detected by the internal hardware of the ArmorStart, while others are

detected by the internal drive. For internal drive faults, the internal hardware

of the ArmorStart simply polls the drive for the existence of faults and

reports the fault state. No fault latching is done by the internal hardware of

the ArmorStart for these faults. The Pr FltReset Mode parameter

(Parameter 23) determines the Auto Resettability of only the faults that are

detected on the main control board. These faults are listed as “param 23”

autoresettable in Table 8. The Auto Resettability of the faults that are

detected in the internal drive is controlled by internal drive parameters.

These faults are listed as drive controlled in Table 8.

LED Definition

Power

This LED will be illuminated solid green when control power is present and

with the proper polarity.

Run

This LED will be illuminated solid green when a start command and control

power are present.

Network

This bi-color LED is used to indicate the status of the communications

network. See the Network Status LED table below for additional information.

Fault

This LED is used to indicate the fault status of the ArmorStart. When the unit is

faulted, the unit will respond with a specific blink pattern to identify the fault.

See the Fault LED table below for additional information.

Network Status LED Definition Possible Causes

Off The device has not completed the initialization, is

not on an active network, or may not be powered up.

Check to make sure the product is properly wired and configured on

the network.

Flashes green-red-off While waiting to detect the network baud rate, the

LED will flash this pattern about every 3 seconds.

If the product stays in this state, it means that there is no set baud

rate. Insure that at least one device on the network has a set baud

rate.

Solid Green The device is operating in a normal condition, and is

communicating to another device on the network.

No action required.

Flashing Green The ArmorPoint module cannot successfully

establish a connection on the backplane.

The wrong connection parameter for the ArmorStart was entered in

the “Module Properties” page in RSLogix5000 or the I/O Tree was not

properly configured.

Flashing Red The ArmorPoint module has stopped communicating

over the backplane with ArmorStart.

Check control power connections to the ArmorPoint Module and

ArmorStart.

Solid Red Backplane media issue. Check backplane media and ArmorStart backplane cable

connections.

Flashing Red and

Green

The device is in a communication faulted state. Power cycling the device may resolve the problem; however, if the

problem continues, it may be necessary to contact Technical Support.
