Connecting to Field Devices
Use the operating instructions for each I/O module to help you connect field
devices.
Powering Up the FieldPoint System
Caution
Terminal bases must be connected to the FP-20
xx before
power is applied to the FP-20
xx.
Make sure the RESET DIP switch is not on.
Plug in each power supply to the FieldPoint
bank. You should see the POWER and STATUS
LEDs come on. After about 5 seconds, the
STATUS
LED begins flashing. This indicates
that the FP-20
xx is ready to be configured.
(If the
STATUS
LED turns off, the FP-20
xx has
been configured.) If the LEDs do not follow this
sequence, refer to the
FP-20xx User Manual
troubleshooting appendix.
