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 your FieldPoint
bank is too long for your available
space.
E. Place protective cover on last base,
and install rail locks at each end.

Install the I/O Module(s)
A. Align slots on module with guide rails on
base, and press onto base until terminal
base’s latch locks the module in place.
B. Repeat for each I/O module.
It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except for
these types of situations:
··
·· 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, you might want to locate any
thermocouple modules away from heat sources, including network
modules or relay modules, unless you are mounting them on an FP-TB-3.
4
Connect the Network Cables
Connect the FP-1600 to an Ethernet network by connecting the RJ-45
Ethernet port of the FP-1600 to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5
Ethernet cable.

fpoint cd.qxd 11/13/00 1:23 PM Page 5
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

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
Ethernet. If you need to build your own cable, refer to the FP-1600 User
Manual for cabling details.
5
Wire Power to Your FieldPoint System
A. Connect 11-30 VDC power supply leads to V and C terminals of the
network module. If you want to verify that your power supply is sufficient
for your modules and devices, refer to your FieldPoint hardware
documents for instructions on calculating power requirements.
B. Connect power to the FieldPoint modules that require external power for
outputs (output modules, counter modules, PWM, PG, QUAD). Refer to
the I/O module’s operating instructions for power requirement details.
You can power a module by connecting the V and C inputs on its terminal
base to a separate power supply, connecting the V and C outputs of a
neighboring terminal base or network module, or using a combination of
both methods. If you want to power field I/O devices from a terminal
base, supply power to the terminal base, and then connect the terminal
base V and C output terminals to the field device.
Optionally, you can connect an FP-1600 directly to a computer using an
Ethernet crossover cable.

Power Up Your FieldPoint System
CAUTION: Terminal bases must be connected to the FP-1600 before
power is applied to the FP-1600.
Plug in each power supply to
your FieldPoint bank. You should
see all except the STATUS and
PROCESS LEDs flash once, and
the POWER LED come on and
stay on. After a few seconds, the
POWER and READY LEDs should
be lit on each I/O module. If this
is not the case, refer to your
FP-1600 user manual for
troubleshooting instructions.
The READY LEDs will not light until an IP address is assigned. Likewise, the
STATUS LED will stay lit until an IP address is assigned.
After the hardware is installed, you should verify communication, configure
the modules, configure your power-up states and watchdog settings. If you
are using National Instruments FieldPoint software for these tasks, continue
to the following section.
POWER and READY LEDs Stay Lit

FP-1600 on the network.
•Subnet mask is the mask that is
applied to the IP address that the
device uses to find other devices on
the Ethernet network (255.255.255.0
is the most common).
•Time server IP is the address of the
host computer that the FP-1600 will synchronize its clock to. The
computer must have the Lookout Time Synch service (installed with
Lookout 4.x or FieldPoint 2.x).
