 Operating Instructions

FP-DI-330 and cFP-DI-330

Eight-Channel Universal Digital Input Module

These operating instructions describe how to install and use the 
National Instruments FP-DI-330 and cFP-DI-330 digital input 
modules (referred to inclusively as the [c]FP-DI-330). For 
information about configuring and accessing the [c]FP-DI-330 
over a network, refer to the user manual for the FieldPoint network 
module you are using.

Features

The [c]FP-DI-330 is a FieldPoint digital input module with the 
following features:

Eight digital input channels

Universal inputs that work with any voltage from 5 V TTL 
level up to 250 VDC/VAC

Compatibility with sourcing, sinking, or power-sensing 
applications

On/Off LED indicators

250 V

rms

 CAT II continuous channel-to-ground isolation, 

verified by 2,300 V

rms

, 1 minute dielectric withstand test

–40 to 70 °C operation

Hot swappable

Installing the FP-DI-330

The FP-DI-330 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-

x

), 

which provides operating power to the module. Installing the 
FP-DI-330 onto a powered terminal base does not disrupt the 
operation of the bank.
