Figure 4 shows the module label and status indicators. You can 
remove the insertable label to see wiring diagrams for the output 
channels.

Status Indicators

After the module has been inserted into a terminal base (and power 
is applied), the module runs an internal boot up sequence and self 
test. If this test passes, the green POWER indicator turns on and 
the FP-AO-200 informs the network module of its presence. When 
the network module recognizes the FP-AO-200, it sends initial 
configuration information to the FP-AO-200. After processing this 
initial information, the green READY indicator turns on and the 
FP-AO-200 is in its normal operating mode. In addition to the 
green POWER and READY indicators, each channel has a red, 
numbered, error status indicator. For more information, refer to 
the section on Open Loop Detection in this document.

Isolation and Safety

CAUTION:  Read the following information before 
attempting to connect ANY circuits which may contain 
hazardous voltages to the FP-AO-200. 

This section describes the isolation of the FP-AO-200 and its 
compliance with international safety standards. 

The field wiring connections of the FP-AO-200 are isolated from 
the backplane provided by the terminal base with an optical and 
galvanic isolation barrier designed and tested to provide protection 
against fault voltages of up to 3000 Vrms. In addition, the
