Description
The FP-2010 LabVIEW RT/Ethernet Controller, part number 187685A-02 (777792-21), falls under the FieldPoint category. This model is specifically designed for applications requiring robust performance in industrial environments. However, it has been marked as “Not for New Design”, indicating that it may no longer be the best choice for new projects due to evolving technological standards.
The FP-2010 is equipped with a power capacity of 9 W to I/O modules. It can support a maximum of less than nine I/O modules if the modules exceed 1 W each, ensuring flexible configuration options for various industrial needs. The device features a configurable host access control, with a default setting that allows Read/Write access for all hosts, offering ease of use and straightforward integration into existing systems.
Security is a key aspect of the FP-2010, with password protection available for configuration settings to prevent unauthorized access. It is compatible with Lookout 4.0 and later versions, making it a versatile choice for users looking to integrate the controller with specific software requirements.
The controller comes with 32 MB of DRAM, of which 24 MB is user accessible, and 64 MB of nonvolatile memory, with 56 MB available for user applications. This memory capacity ensures that the FP-2010 can handle demanding applications with ease. Additionally, it supports the LabVIEW Real-Time Module up to version 8.5.1 and is compatible with operating systems up to Windows Vista, providing a range of options for developers.
Despite its capabilities, the FP-2010 has been declared obsolete by National Instruments but remains available from Apex Waves. This status highlights the need for users to consider future support and compatibility when choosing this controller for their projects.
