FIELDPOINT™ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AND SPECIFICATIONS

FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520
Eight-Channel, 5 V or 10–30 V PWM Output Module
These operating instructions describe how to install and use
theNational Instruments FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520
pulse-width modulation modules (referred to inclusively as the
[c]FP-PWM-520). For details on configuring and accessing the
[c]FP-PWM-520 over a network, refer to the user manual for the
FieldPoint network module you are using.

Features

The [c]FP-PWM-520 is a FieldPoint pulse-width modulation
(PWM) output module with the following features:
• Eight PWM sourcing output channels
• 0 to 100% duty-cycle capability with 12-bit resolution
• Short-circuit protection for outputs
• Outputs source 5VDC or 10–30 VDC with user-provided
power supply
• Independent configuration of the output period for each
channel from 1 to 65,535ms in 1 ms increments
• On/Off LED indicators
• 250Vrms CAT II continuous channel-to-ground isolation,
verified by 2,300Vrms, 5 s dielectric withstand test
• –40to 70 °C operation
• Hot swappable
