Install the Terminal Base(s)
2
CAUTION Terminal bases must be connected 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.
322759d.qxd 4/4/2003 4:58 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.

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-20

directly to a computer using
an Ethernet crossover cable.

Power Up the FieldPoint System
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-20
xx
is ready to
be configured. (If the STATUS LED turns off,
and the A,B,C,and DLEDs come on, the
FP-20
xx
has been configured and LabVIEW RT
is starting up.) If the LEDs do not follow this
sequence, refer to the
FP-20xx 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 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.
