National Instruments network module, FP-1600 Install the I/O Modules, Connect the Network Cables

3 Install the I/O Module(s)

It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except for these types of situations:

·If you plan to cascade power between any I/O modules using the V and C terminals, those modules should be grouped together.

·For more accurate measurements, you might want to locate any thermocouple modules away from heat sources, including network modules or relay modules, unless you are mounting them on an FP-TB-3.

A. Align slots on module with guide rails on base, and press onto base until terminal base’s latch locks the module in place.

B. Repeat for each I/O module.

4 Connect the Network Cables

Connect the FP-1600 to an Ethernet network by connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the FP-1600 to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
