Installation
Caution Toavoiddamagingthe FP-1600andthe terminal
bases, make sure that power is not applied to the FP-1600
while you install or remove terminal bases.
Follow these steps to install the FP-1600:
1. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the
unlocked position, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. DIN Rail Clip
Note Write down the serial number from the back of
your FP-1600 before you mount your FP-1600. You will
need this information when you configure the FP-1600.
2. Mount the FP-1600 onto a 35 mm DIN rail or onto a panel
mount accessory.
• Installing onto a DIN rail:
a. Hook the lip on the rear of the FP-1600 onto the top of
a35 mm DIN railand press theFP-1600 downontothe
DIN rail, as shown in Figure 2.

b. Slide the FP-1600 to the desired position along the
DIN rail.
c. Lock the FP-1600 to the DIN rail by pushing the rail
clip to the locked position.
• Installing onto a panel mount accessory, which you can
order separately from National Instruments:
a. Snap the panel mount accessory onto the module,
as shown in Figure 3.

c. Mount the FP-1600 and panel mount accessory onto
the desired surface. You can drill pilot holes using the
directions in the FieldPoint Network Module Panel
Mount Accessory installation guide.
3. Add terminal bases with their local bus connectors firmly
mated to the FP-1600 local bus connector.
4. Place the protective cover over the local bus connector of the
last terminal base in the bank. Figure 4 shows an installed
FP-1600 network module on a DIN rail.

Network Connection
Connect the FP-1600 to an Ethernet network using the RJ-45
Ethernet port on the FP-1600. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port
of the FP-1600 to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5
Ethernet cable. You can also connect an FP-1600 directly to a
computer using an Ethernet crossover cable. Do not use a cable
longer than 100 m. Figure 5 shows the power and Ethernet
connectors on the FP-1600.

Powering the FP-1600
Caution Connect the FP-1600 to the terminal base before
applying power to the FP-1600 to avoid damaging the
FP-1600 or a terminal base.
Each FP-1600 on your network requires an 11–30 VDC power
supply. The FP-1600 filters and regulates this supplied power and
provides power for all the I/O modules in the bank. Therefore, you
do not need to provide power separately to each FieldPoint I/O
module in the bank. If your field I/O devices need to be powered
separately, you can use the terminals provided on each terminal
base for such power supply connections.
The power connector is a 6-pin screw terminal connector whose
pinout is shown in Figure 7.

Connect the primary power supply to the center V and C pair.
You can connect an optional backup power supply to the left V
and C pair. The right V and C pair provides a convenient means
of connecting power to the V and C terminals of a terminal base.
Figure 7 shows this optional connection.
