Mount the Compact FieldPoint Backplane
You can mount the cFP-BP- x backplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel, or in a
standard 19 in. rack. Before using any of these mounting methods, record the serial
number from the back of the backplane.
Each set of mounting instructions in this document includes an instruction to connect
the protective earth (PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-
x backplane to the system
safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal has the following symbol stamped
beside it: . Connect the backplane PE ground terminal to the system safety ground
using 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire with a ring lug. Use the 5/16 in. panhead screw shipped
with the backplane to secure the ring lug to the backplane PE ground terminal.

Connect the cFP-20 xx to Your Network
Connect the cFP-20 xx controller to an Ethernet network using the RJ-45 Ethernet port
on the controller. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the cFP-20 xx to
an Ethernet hub, or use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the controller directly
to a computer.
If the host PC is already configured on a network, you must configure the cFP-20
xx on
the same network. If neither is connected to a network, you can connect the two
directly using a crossover cable.
In order for you to configure the cFP-20
xx , it must reside on the same subnet as the
host PC.
5
CAUTION To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet
installation, 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 cable.

Wire Power to the Compact FieldPoint System
Each cFP-20 xx on your network requires an 11–30 VDC power supply.
A. Connect the positive lead of the primary
power supply to one of the V1 terminals
and the negative lead to one of the
C terminals.
B. If you are using a backup power supply,
connect the positive lead to V2 and the
negative lead to one of the C terminals.
The cFP-20
xx uses the power supply with
the higher voltage level. V2 is isolated
from the other V terminals.
C. Refer to the operating instructions for the power requirements of each I/O module.
D. Use a separate power supply for each module that needs external power.

Powering Up the cFP-20 xx
Check the DIP switches on the controller, making sure that the RESET IP switch is not
enabled. Plug in each power supply to the Compact FieldPoint system. The cFP-20 xx
runs a power-on self test (POST) that takes several seconds. You should see the
POWER and STATUS LEDs come on. After about five seconds, the STATUS LED begins
flashing steadily. The cFP-20 xx is ready to be configured.
If you have already assigned an IP address to the cFP-20
xx , the STATUS LED turns off,
and the A, B, C, and D LEDs come on for about 15 seconds as LabVIEW RT starts up.
Once they turn off, the I/O module READY LEDs come on, and the cFP-20 xx is ready for
use. The total boot time for a configured system is 30–45 seconds.
If the STATUS LED does not light up as described here, refer to the
cFP-20xx and
cFP-BP-x User Manual.

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 LabWindowsTM/CVITM, 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 on
your computer.
D. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
