Description
The FP-1001 RS485 Network Module carries the part number 184510B-01, with an alternate part number of 777517-01. This module falls under the FieldPoint category and is identified by the model FP-1001. It is designed primarily for RS-485, full-duplex mode communication, ensuring robust data transmission across networks.
One of the key features of the FP-1001 is its optical isolation, which provides added protection against electrical noise and surges, enhancing the reliability and longevity of the module in industrial environments. The module supports a maximum of 25 network modules per RS-485 port, allowing for extensive network expansion capabilities.
Address configuration is made simple with switches 1 to 5, offering flexibility in device management and setup. The module requires a power supply within the range of 11–30 VDC, accommodating various industrial power standards. For programming, the FP-1001 is compatible with FieldPoint Software, which includes a comprehensive suite of tools such as LabVIEW VIs, LabWindows/CVI functions, FieldPoint Explorer Configuration Utility, Lookout Driver Class, and an OPC server, providing a versatile and user-friendly programming environment.
The module supports a wide range of baud rates, from 300 up to 115200, which are switch-settable for easy adjustments according to network requirements. It also boasts a maximum cabling distance of up to 4000 ft, ensuring reliable communication over long distances. Despite its powerful features, the FP-1001 maintains a lightweight design, weighing in at just 8.4 oz. This combination of features makes the FP-1001 RS485 Network Module an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable and flexible solution for their RS-485 network infrastructure, although it is noted as ‘Not for New Design’, indicating that it may be suitable for existing installations rather than new deployments.
