Description
The Compact FieldPoint, identified by the part number 778617-08, is a robust and versatile module designed for industrial control and monitoring tasks. This unit, known by its model name cFP-BP-8, encompasses a range of features tailored for demanding environments.
It accommodates 8 slots for I/O modules, providing flexibility in configuring to meet specific application requirements. The power requirements are modest, needing only 24 VDC / 20 W to operate, with a broader power supply range of 11 to 30 VDC, ensuring reliability across various power supplies.
Connection to the device is made through a 37-pin D-SUB connector, a common and reliable connection type for industrial environments. The cFP-PM-H horizontal mounting bracket facilitates easy and secure installation in a variety of settings.
Despite its compact size, with a weight of just 9.8 oz, this module operates effectively in extreme temperatures, from –25 to 60 °C for operating and –40 to 85 °C for storage. It can withstand 10 to 90% RH, non-condensing humidity levels, ensuring performance in humid conditions without condensation issues.
The Compact FieldPoint is designed to handle vibrations, with an operating vibration resistance of 5 grms (10 to 500 Hz) for random vibrations and 5 g (10 to 500 Hz) for sinusoidal vibrations, indicating its durability and reliability in mechanically challenging environments.
Although its obsolete status has been announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users of this reliable and efficient Compact FieldPoint can continue to utilize its capabilities in their industrial applications.
