Description
The FieldPoint module, identified by the part number 184510D-01, is a specialized module designed for industrial applications. This module, known as FP-1001, is a RS485 Network Module that has been designated as not for new design. It facilitates communication over RS-485 in full-duplex mode, ensuring reliable data transmission in demanding environments.
The FP-1001 boasts optical isolation to protect against electrical noise and potential ground loops, enhancing system reliability. It supports a maximum of 25 modules per RS-485 port, allowing for significant expansion and flexibility in network design. Addressing is conveniently managed through switches 1 to 5, simplifying module configuration and integration.
Operation of the FP-1001 requires a power supply within the range of 11–30 VDC, accommodating various industrial power standards. The module is compatible with a wide array of programming software, including LabVIEW VIs, LabWindows/CVI functions, FieldPoint Explorer Configuration Utility, Lookout Driver Class, and OPC server, offering versatility in programming and system integration.
The FP-1001 supports multiple baud rates, ranging from 300 to 115200, switch-settable, allowing for flexible communication speed settings based on system requirements. It enables a maximum cabling distance of up to 4000 ft, facilitating extended network configurations across large industrial sites.
With a weight of 8.4 oz and an operating temperature range of –40 to +70 °C, the module is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. Additionally, it has a storage temperature range of –55 to +90 °C, ensuring the module’s integrity during periods of non-operation.
Despite its obsolete status, as announced by National Instruments, the FP-1001 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, offering continued support for existing installations and applications where
