NOTE: Do not use spliced DIN
rails. Use only a single DIN rail.
B. Hook lip on back of module onto top
of DIN rail, press down, and snap
into place.

B. Snap panel mount accessory
(which you can order separately)
onto module.
C. Lock rail clip.
C. Slide module into position and lock

D. Use template that came with your
accessory to drill pilot holes and
mount module onto

accessory.
Install the Terminal Base(s)

CAUTION: Terminal bases must be connected to the network module
before applying power to the module. Do
terminal bases while power is applied to the network module.

DIN Rail Mount
A. Unlock rail clip.
B. Press base onto rail.
Panel Mount
A. Use template that came with your
accessory to drill pilot holes.
B. Connect terminal base to network
module connector, being careful not
to bend any connector pins.
C. Fasten terminal base to panel.

DIN Rail Mount
C. Slide into position and lock the rail
clip. Be careful not to bend any pins.
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 your FieldPoint
bank is too long for your available
space.
E. Place protective cover on last base,
and install rail locks at each end.

Install the I/O Module(s)
3
It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except for
these types of situations:
····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, you might want to locate any
thermocouple modules away from heat sources, including network
modules or relay modules, unless you are mounting them on an FP-TB-3.
A. Align slots on module with guide rails on
base, and press onto base until terminal
base’s latch locks the module in place.
B. Repeat for each I/O module.
Connect the Network Cables
4
Connect the FP-1600 to an Ethernet network by connecting the RJ-45
Ethernet port of the FP-1600 to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5
Ethernet cable.
Straight-Through
UTP Cable

Optionally, you can connect an FP-1600 directly to a computer using an
Ethernet crossover cable.
Cross-Over Cable
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. If you need to build your own cable, refer to the FP-1600 User
Manual for cabling details.
Wire Power to Your FieldPoint System
5
A. Connect 11-30 VDC power supply leads to V and C terminals of the
network module. If you want to verify that your power supply is sufficient
for your modules and devices, refer to your FieldPoint hardware
documents for instructions on calculating power requirements.
B. Connect power to the FieldPoint modules that require external power for
outputs (output modules, counter modules, PWM, PG, QUAD). Refer to
the I/O module’s operating instructions for power requirement details.
You can power a module by connecting the V and C inputs on its terminal
base to a separate power supply, connecting the V and C outputs of a
neighboring terminal base or network module, or using a combination of
both methods. If you want to power field I/O devices from a terminal
base, supply power to the terminal base, and then connect the terminal
base V and C output terminals to the field device.
