NI FP-1001

Important Note: Not recommended for new designs.

The National Instruments FP-1001 is an RS485network interface module for the FieldPoint I/O system. Each NI FP-1001 network module connects a node of up to nine FieldPoint I/O modules to an RS485 network. A FieldPoint network can consist of up to 25 network nodes for a total of 225 FieldPoint I/O modules. The FP-1001 manages communications between the host PC and the I/O modules via a local high-speed bus formed by FieldPoint terminal bases. The FP-1001 also provides several diagnostic and autoconfiguration features, simplifying installation, use, and maintenance. FieldPoint Explorer and server software are included at no charge with RS232/RS485 FieldPoint systems. These software tools simplify system setup and integration with application software packages.
