D. Repeat for each terminal base, up to nine for each network module in most cases.
You can use one or two extender cables (which you can order separately) if the
FieldPoint bank is too long for the available space. Make sure there are no gaps
between terminal bases.
E. You
must
install DIN rail locks at each end of the bank to ensure reliable
connections between terminal bases and network module. Two rail locks are
included with each network module. Place protective cover on last base.
C. Slide base into position and
lock rail clip. Be careful not
to bend any pins.

Install the I/O Module(s)
It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except in the following cases:
• If you plan to cascade power between any I/O modules using the V and C terminals,
those modules should be grouped together.
• For more accurate measurements, place thermocouple modules away from heat
sources, including network modules and relay modules.
A. Align slots on module with guide rails
on base, and press module onto base
until terminal base latch locks module
in place.
B. Repeat for each I/O module.

CAUTION Cascading power defeats isolation.
Connect the FP-1601 to the Network
Connect the FP-1601 to an
Ethernet network by
connecting the RJ-45
Ethernet port of the
FP-1601 to an Ethernet
hub using a standard
Category 5 Ethernet cable.
