Wiring the [c]FP-DO-403
The FP-TB-x terminal base has connections for each FP-DO-403
output channel and for an external supply to power field devices.
The cFP-CB-x connector block provides the same connections for
the cFP-DO-403.
Each channel has one output terminal, V
share eight V
terminals and eight COM terminals. All of the
SUP
channels are referenced to the COM terminals. The V and V
terminals are all internally connected, as are the C and COM
terminals.
Use a 5–30 VDC external power supply for the output channels.
The power supply must provide enough current to power all of the

Digital Output Circuit
The [c]FP-DO-403 digital output channels are optically isolated
from the rest of the FieldPoint bank. In the ON state, a transistor is
turned on between the V
C and COM terminals). In the OFF state, this transistor is turned
off, allowing only a small leakage current to flow. The V
terminal sinks current from external devices. Sinking current
means the V
terminal provides a path to the supply common.
OUT
Ensure that no channel sinks more than 2 A, and that the total
current supplied by all channels at any time is no more than 16 A
To determine whether the total current is within the limit, square
the current on each channel and add the squares together. If the sum
of all the squares is less than or equal to 16 A
within the limit. In the following example, three channels sink 2 A
and four channels sink 1 A each:
(2 A)2 + (2 A)2 + (2 A)2 + (1 A)
+ (1 A)2 + (1 A)2 + (1 A)2 ≤ 16 A
Caution The outputs must not be short-circuited to the
potential of the V or V
of the external supply). Short circuits damage the
[c]FP-DO-403 output channels. Check all wiring
carefully before applying power.
In the ON state, there is an effective resistance of 0.12 Ω between
the output (V
) and the supply voltage (the C and COM
OUT
terminals). This resistance causes a voltage drop between the
external supply voltage and the output voltage. For example,
if the external supply voltage is 5 V and the output current is 1 A,
the output voltage is 4.88 V:
5 V – 1 A × 0.12 Ω = 4.88 V

Protection for Inductive Loads
When an inductive load, such as a motor or relay, is connected to
an output, a large counter-electromotive force may occur at
switching time because of the energy stored in the inductive load.
This flyback voltage can damage the outputs and the power supply.
It is best to limit such flyback voltages at the inductive load by
installing a flyback diode across the load. Typically, you should
[c]FP-DO-403 6 ni.com
mount the flyback diode within 18 in. of the load. Figure 5 shows
a flyback diode connected to an inductive load.

SUP
Although the [c]FP-DO-403 contains flyback diodes to prevent
excessively high voltage from damaging the module, National
Instruments recommends the use of an external protection circuit
across any inductive load.
Status Indicators
The [c]FP-DO-403 has two green status LEDs, POWER and
READY. After you insert the FP-DO-403 into a terminal base
or the cFP-DO-403 into a backplane and apply power to the
connected network module, the green POWER indicator lights
and the [c]FP-DO-403 informs the network module of its presence.
When the network module recognizes the [c]FP-DO-403, it sends
initial configuration information to the [c]FP-DO-403. After the
module receives this initial information, the green READY
indicator lights and the [c]FP-DO-403 is in normal operating
mode.
In addition to the green POWER and READY indicators, each
channel has a numbered, green output state indicator, which lights
when the channel is in the ON state.
Isolation and Safety Guidelines
Caution Read the following information before
attempting to connect the [c]FP-DO-403 to any circuits
that may contain hazardous voltages.
This section describes the isolation of the [c]FP-DO-403 and its
compliance with international safety standards. The field wiring
connections are isolated from the backplane and the inter-module
communication bus. The isolation barriers in the module provide

published by UL and IEC) require the use of double insulation
between hazardous voltages and any human-accessible parts or
circuits.
Never try to use any isolation product between human-accessible
parts (such as DIN rails or monitoring stations) and circuits that
can be at hazardous potentials under normal conditions, unless the
product is specifically designed for such an application, as is the
[c]FP-DO-403.
Even though the [c]FP-DO-403 is designed to handle applications
with hazardous potentials, follow these guidelines to ensure a safe
total system:
• There is no isolation between channels on the [c]FP-DO-403.
If a hazardous voltage is present on any channel, all channels
are considered hazardous. Make sure that all other devices and
circuits connected to the module are properly insulated from
human contact.
•Do not share the external supply voltages (the V and C
terminals) with other devices (including other FieldPoint
devices), unless those devices are isolated from human contact.
• For Compact FieldPoint, you must connect the protective earth
(PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-x backplane to the system
safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal has the
following symbol stamped beside it: . Connect the
backplane PE ground terminal to the system safety ground
using 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire with a ring lug. Use the 5/16 in.
panhead screw shipped with the backplane to secure the ring
lug to the backplane PE ground terminal.
• As with any hazardous voltage wiring, make sure that all
wiring and connections meet applicable electrical codes and
commonsense practices. Mount terminal bases and backplanes
in an area, position, or cabinet that prevents accidental or
unauthorized access to wiring that carries hazardous voltages.

Working voltage is defined as the signal voltage plus the common-mode voltage.
Common-mode voltage is the voltage of the module with respect to ground.
[c]FP-DO-403 8 ni.com
•Do not use the [c]FP-DO-403 as the only isolating barrier
between human contact and working voltages higher than
250 V
rms
.
• Operate the [c]FP-DO-403 only at or below Pollution
Degree 2. Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive
pollution occurs in most cases. Occasionally, however, a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be
expected.
• Operate the [c]FP-DO-403 at or below Measurement
Category II. Measurement Category II is for measurements
performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage
installation. This category refers to local-level distribution,
such as that provided by a standard wall outlet.
