Industrial Control and Distributed I/O
Overview and Applications
518
Compact FieldPoint is a programmable automation controller (PAC)
designed for industrial control applications performing advanced
embedded control, data logging, headless operation, and Ethernet
connectivity. It combines the packaging, specifications, and
reliability of a PLC with the software, flexibility, connectivity, and
functionality of a PC. Compact FieldPoint is our most rugged and
reliable platform and is designed for industrial and mobile
environments with high shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
Compact FieldPoint banks run LabVIEW Real-Time, providing the
functionality, connectivity, and flexibility of LabVIEW on a small,
rugged, industrial platform. The modular I/O architecture with
built-in signal conditioning and isolation provides direct
connectivity to industrial sensors such as analog voltage, 4 to 20 mA
current, thermocouple, RTD, pressure, strain, flow, pulse width
modulation (PWM), and 24 V digital I/O.
Engineers and scientists use the National Instruments cFP-20xx
controllers in intelligent distributed applications requiring
industrial-grade reliability, such as process and discrete control
systems, to open and close valves, run control loops, log data,
perform real-time simulation and analysis, and communicate over
serial, phone, and Ethernet.
System Configurations
A single NI cFP-20xx controller manages a bank of up to eight
Compact FieldPoint analog and digital I/O modules, which
constitutes a node. The network module securely mounts on a
metal backplane that provides a solid mounting surface for the
Compact FieldPoint bank and forms the communication bus
between the controller module and the I/O modules. You choose the
I/O modules and connector block or cabling option that is best
suited for your application.
For more details on configuring a Compact FieldPoint system,
see page 517.
Highly Productive Software
When your application requires powerful functionality and rapid
development, the key is flexible software that integrates seamlessly
with hardware. LabVIEW is an industry-standard graphical
development environment that provides all the tools necessary to
create advanced and full-featured measurement and control
applications. LabVIEW makes it easy to construct simple or
complex applications using an extensive palette of functions and
tools – from simple analog PID process control loops to highchannel-count hybrid control systems that combine both analog
and digital components.

LabVIEW Real-Time
Controller Interfaces with Ethernet
Web-Enabled Hardware
LabVIEW Real-Time enables you to perform digital and analog
control on the FieldPoint platform. With LabVIEW Real-Time
embedded and running on a cFP-20xx controller, you can perform
simple digital control with Boolean logic, as well as more advanced
analog control, such as PID and fuzzy logic. The PID Control Toolset
for LabVIEW has drop-down blocks for basic and advanced PID,
feed forward, and fuzzy control. You can also use it for linear and
nonlinear testing, modeling, and simulation. When developing a
control system, you can take advantage of LabVIEW to implement
basic control or easily incorporate advanced control techniques, such
as disturbance decoupling, gain scheduling, and fuzzy logic control.
For beginner users, powerful tools such as Autotuning PID make life
easier and more productive. For embedded systems, you can
effortlessly deploy your LabVIEW application on the real-time
Compact FieldPoint hardware target.
With remote panels, you can use a Web browser to connect to the
front panel user interface for your LabVIEW application. Several
Web browser clients can simultaneously view the front panel, while a
single browser can both view and control the application. cFP-20xx
real-time controllers feature an embedded Web server that handles
up to 20 simultaneous remote panel connections. The cFP-20xx
controllers also offer static Web pages to display system information
and automatically run an FTP server to make it easy to update the
embedded control program or to share logged data.

Embedded Control Made Easy
Embedded Intelligent Data Logging
Compact FieldPoint 20xx controllers all feature built-in nonvolatile
memory for data logging, and with the cFP-2020 you can expand
your storage capacity by using the removable CompactFlash drive.
You can store the data in any DOS-compatible format, including
CSV and XML. Once the data is stored, you can easily transfer it to a
PC using the embedded FTP server on the cFP-20xx. LabVIEW
Real-Time expands the functionality beyond the typical data logger
because you can make additional calculations and decisions to
eliminate logging unneeded data and to perform onboard real-time
processing and control. Compact FieldPoint combines data logging,
data reduction, control algorithms, HMI, and the ability to
communicate with other nodes on the network.

Industrial Control and Distributed I/O
Using cFP-20xx industrial controllers, powered by real-time
LabVIEW, you can create flexible control and measurement systems
to meet your unique application requirements. Because these
controllers contain an onboard processor and nonvolatile storage,
you can perform embedded monitoring, logging, and machine
control. Using the LabVIEW Real-Time module, you can download
your application onto the controller and run the application
disconnected from the host PC. Compact FieldPoint I/O banks
include a number of features for industrial operation, including
2,300 V transient overvoltage protection where dangerous voltage
levels are present, a wide temperature range for operation in hostile
environments, backup power supply connections to protect against
primary power failure, and hot-swappable modules to simplify
maintenance and minimize downtime.
cFP-20xx controllers connect directly to Ethernet and autonegotiate
on the network for 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s communication rates.
The Ethernet port serves as a high-speed link for downloading
application code, performing run-time debugging and probing, and
transmitting control and indicator values with a graphical user
interface (GUI) running on a networked PC. You can also use the
Ethernet port for programmatic network communication using
protocols such as TCP, UDP, FTP, HTTP, and DataSocket.
Once deployed, the controllers can communicate peer to peer with
other [c]FP-20xx intelligent FieldPoint controllers, or with passive
network interfaces such as the FP-1601 and FP-1000. In addition,
cFP-20xx controllers can communicate to a Windows computer
running LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, Lookout, or your choice
of National Instruments or third-party OLE for process control
(OPC) client application software. Using industry-standard OPC
technology, the Compact FieldPoint controller automatically
communicates with the FieldPoint OPC server over the network to
read and write I/O remotely without programming. This feature
makes it easy to communicate with Compact FieldPoint using any
OPC-enabled HMI/SCADA supervisory control software and to add
Compact FieldPoint to installations with existing hardware.

Decrease Network Traffic with
Event-Driven Ethernet Communication
Using an event-driven communication protocol, the cFP-20xx
transmits data via Ethernet only when data values change. This
eliminates unnecessary network traffic, resulting in more efficient
communication. The data values can consist of individual I/O
module channels or user-defined variables in the embedded
LabVIEW program.
Serial Connectivity
cFP-20xx controllers also include up to three RS-232 serial ports and
one RS-485 serial port to programmatically communicate with other
serial devices such as remote FieldPoint banks, LCD display/keypad
units, bar code readers, or phone and radio modems.
Security
Industrial Control and Distributed I/O
With the advanced security features enabled, only authorized clients
can access the Compact FieldPoint system. Authorized clients are
Ethernet nodes with IP addresses that match user-defined patterns.
You can also further qualify the list of clients by their access rights –
none, read only, and read/write (with access to configuration).
Initially, the network module grants all clients full access. The user
then can select an IP pattern that corresponds to the required list of
clients. In addition, you can set a password that any user can enter for
full access rights to the Compact FieldPoint System.

Easy Configuration Software
National Instruments Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)
configuration software, included with your Compact FieldPoint
hardware, simplifies the use and integration of Compact FieldPoint
systems. With MAX, you configure the entire system, including
network parameters, module and I/O settings, and named-channel
items. MAX will search your Ethernet network and return
configuration settings on all your Compact FieldPoint nodes. MAX
will also automatically detect the I/O modules on each bank, and you
can easily configure I/O parameters, such as input ranges, power-up
output states, and watchdog states, using intuitive dialog windows.
To get your system up and running quickly, from MAX you can also
interactively test I/O modules and channels, viewing input data
values, and setting output values without writing any software code.
In addition to configuring hardware parameters, MAX also
configures and manages named-channel items used in your higherlevel programming software. From your application software
package, such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio,
or Lookout, you simply address a named-channel item to access the
I/O values.
For more details on configuring a Compact FieldPoint system,
see page 517.
Power Supply Backup and Regulation
Ordering Information
An 11 to 30 VDC supply powers the cFP-20xx. An extra set of screw
terminals is available on the network controllers for a backup UPS or
battery. The controllers filter and regulate the power input,
redistributing power to all the I/O modules in the node via the
backplane bus. For external power supply options, see Compact
FieldPoint Accessories on page 526.
