National Instruments network module, FP-1600 quick start Power Up Your FieldPoint System

7 Power Up Your FieldPoint System

CAUTION: Terminal bases must be connected to the FP-1600 before power is applied to the FP-1600.

Plug in each power supply to your FieldPoint bank. You should see all except the STATUS and PROCESS LEDs flash once, and the POWER LED come on and stay on. After a few seconds, the POWER and READY LEDs should be lit on each I/O module. If this is not the case, refer to your FP-1600 user manual for troubleshooting instructions.

POWER and READY LEDs Stay Lit

The READY LEDs will not light until an IP address is assigned. Likewise, the STATUS LED will stay lit until an IP address is assigned.

After the hardware is installed, you should verify communication, configure the modules, configure your power-up states and watchdog settings. If you are using National Instruments FieldPoint software for these tasks, continue to the following section.
