The POWER LED is lit while the cFP-22xx is powered on. This LED

indicates that the power supply connected to the controller is adequate. The

POWER LED lights green when the controller is using the primary power

supply and amber when the controller is using the secondary power supply.

You can use the FieldPoint Write VI to write values to LEDs A, B, C, and

D. The LEDs can have any of three values: 0 is OFF, 1 is green, and 2 is

amber.

Removable CompactFlash (cFP-2220 Only)

You can use CompactFlash for removable data storage with the cFP-2220.

The controller takes Type I and Type II CompactFlash up to 512 MB. With

the power off, open the CompactFlash cover and plug a CompactFlash into

the slot, then power up the controller. You can access the removable

CompactFlash by using LabVIEW file I/O VIs running embedded on the

controller. To read from or write to the removable CompactFlash, point the

VI to the D: drive on the controller.

Caution You must power down the controller before installing or removing a

CompactFlash. Removing the CompactFlash without powering down the controller can

cause data corruption. In order to get data from the CompactFlash while the controller is

operating, use an FTP client to download the data from the D: drive on the controller.

File Transfer Capability

When running on a cFP-22xx, the Real-Time Engine has a File Transfer

Protocol (FTP) server. The FTP server gives you the ability to use any

standard FTP utility for transferring files to and from the hard drive of the

cFP-22xx. You must provide the correct password when opening a

connection to the cFP-22xx if the configuration is locked in MAX.

For programmatic file transfer control in LabVIEW or LabVIEW

Real-Time, use the Internet Developers Toolkit, included in the LabVIEW

Enterprise Connectivity Toolset. Refer to ni.com for more information

about the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset.

Note Contact NI to determine whether the version of the toolkit you are using can be

downloaded onto the cFP-22xx.
