A FieldPoint bank consists of one network module, one or more terminal
bases, and one or more I/O modules. Each FP-20
xx can support up to nine
I/O modules. Each bank can be accessed by an unlimited number of host
computers or FieldPoint modules, forming a distributed computing system.
The maximum number of FP-20
xx network modules that can be installed
on your Ethernet network is limited only by your network topology.
The FP-20 xx network module connects directly to a 10 or 100 Mbps
Ethernet network. The module auto-detects the speed of the connection
and configures itself accordingly.
Figure 1-2 shows an FP-20 xx connected to an Ethernet network.
