Description
The FP-1001 RS485 Network Module, identified by part number 184510F-01, falls under the FieldPoint category. This module is designed to facilitate full-duplex communication via the RS-485 protocol. A noteworthy feature of this module is its optical isolation, enhancing the system’s robustness against electrical noise and potential ground loop issues.
Each RS-485 port on this module can support a maximum of 25 modules, with the address for each module being configurable through switches 1 to 5. The power requirement for the FP-1001 is 11–30 VDC, making it versatile for various industrial applications.
Software compatibility is extensive, including LabVIEW VIs, LabWindows/CVI functions, FieldPoint Explorer Configuration Utility, Lookout Driver Class, and OPC server. This ensures that the module can be integrated into a wide range of systems with different software environments.
It supports various baud rates, specifically 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, which are switch-settable, providing flexibility in communication speeds. The module’s capability to handle a maximum cabling distance of 4000 ft allows for extended reach over large installations.
The FP-1001 weighs 8.4 oz and operates within a temperature range of –40 to +70 °C. This wide operating temperature range ensures reliability in diverse environmental conditions. However, it is noted as “Not for New Design”, indicating that it may be nearing the end of its product lifecycle or there are better alternatives for new projects.
