NOTE Do not use spliced DIN rails. Use only a single DIN rail.

B. Hook lip on back of module

onto top of DIN rail, press

down, and snap into place.

C. Slide module into position

and lock rail clip.

Install the Terminal Base(s)

CAUTION Connect the terminal bases to the network module before applying

power to the module. Do

not

connect or disconnect terminal bases while

power is applied to the network module.

A. Unlock rail clip.

B. Press base onto rail.

322978c.qxd 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 3

D. Repeat for each terminal base, up to nine for each network module in most cases.

You can use one or two extender cables (which you can order separately) if the

FieldPoint bank is too long for the available space. Make sure there are no gaps

between terminal bases.

E. You

must

install DIN rail locks at each end of the bank to ensure reliable

connections between terminal bases and network module. Two rail locks are

included with each network module. Place protective cover on last base.

C. Slide base into position and

lock rail clip. Be careful not

to bend any pins.

Install the I/O Module(s)

It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except in the following cases:

• If you plan to cascade power between any I/O modules using the V and C terminals,

those modules should be grouped together.

• For more accurate measurements, place thermocouple modules away from heat

sources, including network modules and relay modules.

A. Align slots on module with guide rails

on base, and press module onto base

until terminal base latch locks module

in place.

B. Repeat for each I/O module.

CAUTION Cascading power defeats isolation.

Connect the FP-1601 to the Network

Connect the FP-1601 to an

Ethernet network by

connecting the RJ-45

Ethernet port of the

FP-1601 to an Ethernet

hub using a standard

Category 5 Ethernet cable.

Wire Power to the FieldPoint System

A. Connect power supply leads to the V and C terminals of the network module. Use an

11–30 VDC, 15 W minimum power supply such as the NI FP-PS-4. Refer to the I/O

module operating instructions for the power requirements of each module. Refer to

the

Specifications

section of this document for instructions on calculating the

power requirement of the FieldPoint bank.

B Connect power to the I/O modules that require external power for outputs (examples

include output, counter, relay, PWM, PG, and QUAD modules). It is generally best to

power each such module by connecting an external power supply to the VSUP and

COM terminals. Refer to the I/O module operating instructions for power

requirements, detailed wiring diagrams, and safe wiring practices.

Optionally, you can connect an

FP-1601 directly to a computer using

an Ethernet crossover cable.

Do not use a cable longer than 100 m.

If you are using a 100 Mbps Ethernet,

National Instruments recommends using a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable.

If you need to build your own cable, refer to the

FP-1601 User Manual

specifications

section for cabling details.

Power Up the FieldPoint System

FP-1601 Quick Start Guide

Connect to Field Devices

Use the operating instructions for each I/O module to help you connect field devices.

CAUTION Connect terminal bases to the FP-1601 before applying power.

Make sure the RESET DIP switch is

not on. Plug in each power supply to

the FieldPoint bank. You should see

the POWER and STATUS LEDs come

on. After about 5 seconds, the

STATUS LED begins flashing, one

flash at a time. This indicates that the

FP-1601 is ready to be configured. If

the LEDs do not follow this sequence,

refer to the

FP-1601 User Manual

troubleshooting appendix.

Install Software on the Host PC

A. Install the software packages you plan to use, such as LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT,

Measurement Studio, VI Logger, or LabWindows™/CVI™, before you install the

FieldPoint software. The FieldPoint software installation installs the LabVIEW VIs

and examples and the LabWindows/CVI instrument driver only if it finds the

corresponding development software installed.

B. Close all other applications.

C. Insert the National Instruments FieldPoint

Software CD into the CD-ROM drive of

your computer.

D. Follow the onscreen instructions to

complete the installation.

NOTE If the setup does not launch automatically, select Start»Run from

Windows, enter d:\setup, where dis the letter of the CD-ROM drive, and

select OK.

Configure the FP-1601

Launch NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure the FP-1601. For

information about configuring the FP-1601 in software, refer to the

Measurement &

Automation Explorer Help for FieldPoint
