FP-2000/2010/2015 User Manual

Refer to the following figure and follow these steps to connect an I/O
module to a terminal base:

1.

Position the first module with its alignment slots aligned with the guide
rails on the terminal base.

2.

Firmly press the module onto the terminal base. The terminal base
latch locks the I/O module into place when the ejector button pops up
on top of the terminal base.

3.

Repeat this procedure to install additional I/O modules onto terminal
bases.

To remove a module, press the ejector button on top of the terminal base
and pull off the module.

Note

Some older modules may require more force to remove from the terminal base.

Make sure you firmly pull the module straight off the terminal base.

Connecting the FP-20

xx

to the Network

Connect the FP-20

xx

network module to an Ethernet network using the

RJ-45 Ethernet port on the module. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the
module to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
You also can connect the module directly to a computer using an Ethernet
crossover cable.

Caution

To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,

do

not

use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 100 Mbps Ethernet, National

Instruments recommends using a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
