Power Up Your FieldPoint System
CAUTION:
Terminal bases must be connected to the FP-2000/2010
before power is applied to the FP-2000/2010.
Plug in each power supply
to your 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-2000/2010 is ready to
be configured. (If the
STATUS
LED turns off, and the
A, B, C,
and
D
LEDs come on, the FP-2000/2010 has been configured and LabVIEW
RT is starting up.) If the LEDs do not follow this sequence, refer to the
FP-2000/2010 User Manual troubleshooting appendix.
After the hardware is installed, you should verify communication, configure
the modules, and configure your power-up states and watchdog settings.
If you are using National Instruments FieldPoint software for these tasks,
continue to the following section.
