These modules are commonly used to control indicator lights, motors, and power circuits. All the modules include onboard diagnostics to ensure trouble-free installation and maintenance. Similar relay modules are available for FieldPoint, see page 572 for more information. Relay Modules NI cFP-RLY-42x modules provide built-in module-to-module isolation to protect your Compact FieldPoint system and controller from high voltage levels. Each channel on the RLY-42x uses electrically isolated output relays so that each relay output has a separate ground plane and each channel can be used with a different voltage potential. Thus, you can connect one channel to a 24 VDC and another channel on the same module to a 250 VAC. All the channels on the relay modules feature LEDs that indicates the output state of each channel. The modules all feature a maximum switching frequency of 10 Hz (20 operations). Overall data throughput depends on software loop speeds and network speeds. Isolation The cFP-RLY-42x modules feature optical bank isolation with 2,300 Vrms of breakdown isolation. In addition, the modules provide double insulation for up to 250 Vrms of operational isolation. Compact FieldPoint can safely be used in applications where hazardous voltages are present with the cFP-CB-1 connector block. These Compact FieldPoint modules do not have channel-to-channel isolation. Power Requirements Because the cFP-RLY-42x are high power consumption modules, they could limit the number of I/O modules that you can connect to a single network interface module. Controllers and network interface modules supply up to 9 W to power I/O modules. The RLY-421 requires up to 2.5 W and the RLY-423 requires up to 1.5 W. Field I/O Connections Each input channel on the cFP-RLY-421 has two terminals: 1. Relay common terminal (IC) 2. Normally open terminal (NO) Each channel of the cFP-RLY-423 has three terminals: 1. Normally open terminal (NO) 2. Normally closed terminal (NC) 3.
