FP-1000/1001 Network
Module Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the FieldPoint network modules.
Capabilities of the Network Modules
A FieldPoint system consists of at least one network module, at least one
terminal base, and one or more I/O modules.
The FP-1000 FieldPoint network module connects an industrial RS-232
network to FieldPoint I/O modules. The FP-1001 FieldPoint network
module connects an industrial RS-485 network to FieldPoint I/O modules.
Figure 1-1 shows the FP-1000 and FP-1001 network modules.
