Figure 2-16.
FP-1000/1001 Power Connector Pinout
The two terminals labeled V are internally connected on the network
module, as are the two terminals labeled C. Power must be applied to one
V and C pair for operation of the FieldPoint bank. If you want to power
your field I/O devices from the same power supply, the second V and C pair
provides a convenient means of connecting power to the V and C terminals
of a terminal base. Figure 2-16 shows this optional connection.
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. Refer to the documentation that came with your terminal base
and I/O module for more information on powering your field I/O devices.
Calculating Power for a FieldPoint Bank
The power requirements for a FieldPoint bank that uses an FP-1000/1001
network module are calculated as follows:
This is the amount of power the network module consumes from the power
supply to power itself and the I/O modules. It does not include any power
consumed by devices that you wire to the terminal bases.
The operating instructions for each FieldPoint I/O module contain power
consumption information.
Completed Hardware Installation
When power is applied, the
ACCESS
and
STATUS
LEDs should flash
once, and the
POWER
LED should stay lit. The
POWER
and
READY
LEDs should be lit on all of the I/O modules. If these LEDs are not lit,
check your power connections and make sure that all of your modules and
terminal bases are firmly mated. If the
STATUS
LED is blinking, refer to
