The National Instruments cFP-1804 network interface module connects up to four Compact FieldPoint I/O modules to a high-speed Ethernet network. The NI cFP-1804 adds expansion I/O to any programmable automation controller (PAC) or host PC with Ethernet or serial connectivity, wide a variety of third-party protocols, and easy-to-use FieldPoint software. Easily add expansion I/O to any Compact FieldPoint LabVIEW Real-Time controller using FieldPoint software that offers easy drag-and-drop programming from the LabVIEW Project. For other LabVIEW Real-Time PACs, shared variables make it easy to add expansion I/O to PXI and CompactRIO LabVIEW Real-Time systems. For third-party connectivity to cFP-180x interfaces, you can use a wide range of third-party protocols such as Modbus TCP, Optomux, Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, and OPC, as well as NI event-driven Ethernet/serial protocols. Adding third-party connectivity is as easy as a free firmware download. In addition to managing communications between a host PC and the I/O modules, the cFP-1804 also provides diagnostic and autoconfiguration features to simplify installation, use, and maintenance. Perform IP address assignment and module configuration using Measurement & Automation Explorer, a menu-driven Windows-based configuration utility designed for ease of use.
