Description
The FP-1001 RS485 Network Module, part number 777517-01, falls under the FieldPoint category and is identified by the model FP-1001. It is noted for its use in facilitating RS-485, Full-duplex mode communications but is marked as “Not for New Design”, suggesting that it may be nearing the end of its product lifecycle or is intended for legacy systems.
This module boasts optical isolation for enhanced electrical isolation between devices on a network. It supports a maximum of 25 FP-1001 network modules per RS-485 port, allowing for significant expansion capabilities in complex systems. Configuration is made straightforward through the use of switches 1 to 5 for address setting, making it adaptable to various network configurations.
It requires a power supply within the range of 11–30 VDC and is compatible with a variety of programming software options including LabVIEW VIs, LabWindows/CVI functions, FieldPoint Explorer Configuration Utility, Lookout Driver Class, and OPC server. This wide range of software compatibility underscores the module’s versatility in application development and system integration.
The module supports multiple baud rates (switch-settable) ranging from 300 to 115200, allowing for flexible communication speed settings based on the specific requirements of a given application. It can manage a maximum cabling distance of 4000 ft from the host, providing substantial reach for extended network configurations.
With a weight of 8.4 oz and an operating temperature range of –40 to +70 °C, the FP-1001 is built to withstand challenging industrial environments, making it a reliable component for a wide range of applications.
