Input Ranges
To prevent inaccurate readings, choose an input range such that the
signal you are measuring does not exceed either end of the range.
If a channel is not in use, short the positive input to ground and
configure the channel for a bipolar input range. Small fluctuations
in floating input signals can cause the red
Out of Range
status
LED on the module to light if the channel is configured for a
unipolar range. Similarly, if a channel is configured for 4–25 mA
input and the input current is 0 mA, the channel is always out of
range.
Overranging
The [c]FP-AI-100 has an overranging feature that measures a little
beyond the nominal values of each range. For example, the actual
measurement limit of the
±
5 V range is
±
6.0 V. The overranging
feature allows the [c]FP-AI-100 to compensate for field devices
with span errors of up to +20% of full scale. Also, with the
overranging feature, a noisy signal near full scale does not create
rectification errors.
Status Indicators
The [c]FP-AI-100 has two green status LEDs,
POWER
and
READY
. After you insert the [c]FP-AI-100 into a terminal base
or backplane and apply power to the connected network module,
the green
POWER
indicator lights and the [c]FP-AI-100 informs
the network module of its presence. When the network module
recognizes the [c]FP-AI-100, it sends initial configuration
information to the [c]FP-AI-100. After the [c]FP-AI-100 receives
this initial information, the green
READY
indicator lights and the
module is in normal operating mode.
In addition to the green
POWER
and
READY
indicators, the
[c]FP-AI-100 has one red status LED that lights when the input
signal on any channel is outside the configured range. Refer to the
Input Ranges
section for information about selecting input ranges.
Upgrading the FieldPoint Firmware
You may need to upgrade the FieldPoint firmware when you add
new I/O modules to the FieldPoint system. For information on
