322978c.qxd 4/4/2003 FieldPoint 4:08 PM Page 1 TM FP-1601 FieldPoint Quick Start Guide What You Need • FP-1601 network module to Get Set Up • 35 mm DIN rail • Two DIN rail locks (included) • Terminal base(s) • I/O module(s) • 11–30 VDC power supply 1 • Accessories: Ethernet cable, flathead screwdriver • PC running Windows • National Instruments FieldPoint Software CD Install the Network Module Mount the module on a DIN rail. A. Unlock rail clip. © National Instruments Corporation 1 FP-1601 Quick Start Guide 322978c.qxd 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 2 NOTE Do not use spliced DIN rails. Use only a single DIN rail. B. Hook lip on back of module onto top of DIN rail, press down, and snap into place. C. Slide module into position and lock rail clip.

Do not connect or disconnect terminal bases while power is applied to the network module. A. Unlock rail clip. B. Press base onto rail. © National Instruments Corporation 3 FP-1601 Quick Start Guide 322978c.qxd 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 4 C. Slide base into position and lock rail clip. Be careful not to bend any pins. 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. FP-1601 Quick Start Guide 4 ni.com 322978c.qxd 3 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 5 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. CAUTION Cascading power defeats isolation. • 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. 4 Connect the FP-1601 to the Network Connect the FP-1601 to an Ethernet network by connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the FP-1601 to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. © National Instruments Corporation Straight-Through UTP Cable Straight-Through UTP Cable 5 FP-1601 Quick Start Guide 322978c.qxd 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 6 Optionally, you can connect an FP-1601 directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable. Crossover Cable 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 cable. If you need to build your own cable, refer to the FP-1601 User Manual specifications section for cabling details. 5 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.

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-1601 is ready to be configured. If the LEDs do not follow this sequence, refer to the FP-1601 User Manual troubleshooting appendix. 1 CAUTION Connect terminal bases to the FP-1601 before applying power. ni.com 322978c.qxd 8 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 9 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 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 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 d is the letter of the CD-ROM drive, and select OK. © National Instruments Corporation 9 FP-1601 Quick Start Guide 322978c.qxd 9 4/4/2003 4:08 PM Page 10 Configure the FP-1601 Launch NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure the FP-1601.
