Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment.
Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication
SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid-state
equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and because of the wide
variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy
themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

About this Document

This document explains how to quickly add a Power Device Object into a Studio 5000 Logix
Designer project using Studio 5000 Application Code Manager Software. In this example, we will
be importing an ArmorStart 281E Power Device Object. Steps to import other Power Device
Objects are very similar.
Once a new or existing Application Code Manager project is created or opened then one or more
Power Device Object Libraries can be selected and registered. Once registered then the Power
Device Ladder Logic Objects can be imported and instances created into one of the project’s
programs. The Logix Designer project can then be generated and verified.
System Compatibility
 Studio 5000 Application Code Manager v2.2 or later
 Logix Designer V30.01 or later
1. Launch Application Code Manager.
The following window appears.
4
Note:
The last project (if any) is opened by default. Otherwise, a blank screen is displayed.
2. Create a New Project or open an existing project
If a New Project is selected, the Object Configuration Wizard screen opens as shown below.
5
Expand Project, standard project is displayed. Select this project and click Next.
Type the name of the project.
6
3. Adding a new Controller to the project
Right click on controllers and click Add New. You will be prompted to select the controller.
7
Enter the controller name. Details marked in red box is compulsory.

Controller details, slot number and revision should be selected. Click finish after entering the
details.
You will now see that the controller you selected is listed under Registered Libraries as
shown in screen below.
8
4. Registering Libraries.
Right click on Registered Libraries to register the library. Click Register.
Select the file “(RA-LIB)_Device_Asset-Control_PowerDiscrete_raC_Dvc_AS281E_(1.0).HSL4”

within the ApplicationCodeManagerLibraries folder of the Power Device Library v2.2 or later
download and click open.
9
Then click Finish as shown below.
Adding a New Task
Right click on Tasks and click Add New Task. Enter the name and click Finish.
10
11
5. Adding a New Program
Right click on the Power_Discrete and click Add New Program. Enter the program name and click
finish.
12
6. Adding library to project.
Right click on the Program and click Add New.
Select the library that you wish to import. Here the library “raC_LD_ArmorStart281E” is
selected.
Note: LD stand for Ladder Logic
13
Default Name appears in window. If you wish to change the name, you can edit it.
Select the Linked libraries to select the library.
14
To link the Library click on Browse button shown in Red.
Follow the procedure as mentioned below.

Select the Create New Instance
Give Instance Name and Click on finish button
15
Once again click on Finish button.
16
7. Generate Controller
Let’s generate the ACD file for our controller. Right click on CLX and select Generate Controller.
Click on the Generate button.
17
It will take a short period to generate the ACD file. Notice the ACM Project Data box. It is
checked by default for V27 and greater. The checked box indicates that the library
information will be stored as part of the ACD file.
Once you get a status of Power_Device.ACD file Successful, click Close.
Go to the saved project path and open the Power_Device.ACD project.
You will now find the ACD and L5X files in the folder as shown below.
18
Compare the generated project with the Controller Preview in ACM. They should be roughly
the same.
