Mounting the Compact FieldPoint Backplane
You can mount the cFP-BP-xbackplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel,
or in a standard 19 in. rack. NI recommends DIN rail mounting for the
cFP-BP-4 only. Use panel mounting or rack mounting for the cFP-BP-8.
Use the panel mounting method for high shock and vibration applications.
Before using any mounting method, record the serial number from the back
of the backplane. You will be unable to read the serial number after you
have mounted 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

Connecting the cFP-22xx to a Network
Connect the cFP-22xx to an Ethernet network using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1
on the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better
Ethernet cable to connect the controller to an Ethernet hub, or use an
Ethernet crossover cable to connect the controller directly to a computer.
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 100 Mbps Ethernet, National
Instruments recommends using a CAT-5 or better shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
If you need to build your own cable, refer to the Cabling section for more
information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.
The host computer communicates with the controller over a standard
Ethernet connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must
configure the controller on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither
the host computer nor the controller is connected to a network, you can
connect the two directly using a crossover cable.
If you want to use the controller on a subnet other than the one the host
computer is on, first connect the controller on the same subnet as the host
computer. Use DHCP to assign an IP address or reassign a static IP address
for the subnet where you want to use the controller and physically move it
to the other subnet. The first time you configure the controller, you may
also have to install software on it. Refer to the Measurement & Automation
Explorer Help for more information about installing software on and
configuring the controller in Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX). Contact your network administrator if you need assistance
configuring the host computer and controller on the same subnet.
Using Ethernet Port 2 to Connect the cFP-2220
to Other FieldPoint Systems on the Network
You can use Ethernet port 2 to connect the cFP-2220 to another system on
a private network. You must first configure the second system with a static
IP address in MAX. For information about using Ethernet port 2, go to
ni.com/info and enter the infocode dualenet.

cFP-2200/2210/2220 18 ni.com
Wiring Power to the cFP-22xx
The cFP-22xx requires an external power supply that meets the
specifications in the Power Requirements section. The cFP-22xx filters and
regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of the I/O modules.
You must connect a power supply to at least one pair of V and C terminals.
Optionally, you can connect a power supply to the other pair of V and
C terminals. The controller draws power from the power supply with the
higher voltage. The controller has one layer of reverse-voltage protection.
Caution In order to comply with standards and laws governing electromagnetic emissions
and compatibility, you must install the ferrite shipped with the controller. If you decide to
connect an optional second power supply, you must install a second, similar ferrite. You
can order the ferrite from ni.com. The ferrite is NI part number 711849-01.
Complete the following steps to connect power supplies to the controller.
1. Install the ferrite 2–3 in. from the ends of the power wires. Wrap the
wires around one side of the ferrite so that they pass through the ferrite
twice, as shown in Figure 22.
Figure 22. Wrapping the Power Wires around the Ferrite
Figure 23. Closed Ferrite

©National Instruments Corporation 19 cFP-2200/2210/2220
2. Install a tie wrap or other device on the power wires to secure the ferrite
in place near the controller power connector, as shown in Figure 24.
Figure 24. Ferrite Installed with Tie Wrap
3. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V1 terminal of the
COMBICON connector shipped with the cFP-22xx.
4. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to one of the C terminals
of the COMBICON connector.
5. Optionally, connect the positive lead of another power supply to the
V2 terminal and the negative lead to one of the C terminals of the
COMBICON connector.
6. Install the COMBICON connector on the front panel of the cFP-22xx.
Note The controller draws power from either V1 or V2 depending on which terminal has
a higher voltage. It does not draw power from both terminals. The controller switches
between V1 and V2 without affecting operation. If the output voltages of the two power
supplies are within 0.1–0.6 V of each other, the cFP-22xx can use either supply.

cFP-2200/2210/2220 20 ni.com
Note The controller indicates which terminal it is using on the channel called Power
Source in software. A value of 0 indicates V2, and a value of 1 indicates V1. This behavior
is different from that of older Compact FieldPoint controllers. If your application uses
input from the Power Source channel, you must change your application to reflect the
change in channel behavior. You can either make the change in software or connect the
primary power supply to V2 and a backup power supply to V1.
Caution The C terminals are internally connected to each other. If you use two power
supplies, make sure that they share a common ground.
Caution The C terminals are internally connected to the controller chassis to prevent a
faulty ground connection from causing the chassis ground to float. If you reverse the input
voltage, the positive input voltage is connected directly to the chassis. The controller
has built-in reverse-voltage protection, but reversed voltage can damage connected
peripherals if the chassis ground is not reliably connected to earth ground.
Caution Do not tighten or loosen the terminal screws on the power connector while the
power connector is plugged into the controller or while the power supply is on.
Powering On the cFP-22xx
When you apply power to the cFP-22xx, the controller runs a power-on
self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on.
The Status LED turns off, indicating that the POST is complete. If the
LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to the
Understanding LED Indications section.
You can configure the cFP-22xx to launch an embedded stand-alone
LabVIEW RT application each time you boot the controller. Refer to the
Running a Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the
LabVIEW Help for more information.
Connecting Serial Devices to the cFP-22xx
You can connect devices such as displays or input devices to the serial ports
of the cFP-22xx. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial ports
from a LabVIEW RT application. If your application is not embedded on
the controller, you must target the cFP-22xx to access the serial ports. Refer
to the LabVIEW Help for information about the Serial VIs and about
targeting the cFP-22xx. Refer to Figure 1 for the locations of the serial
ports.
