© National Instruments Corp. 9 FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520
[c]FP-PWM-520, it sends initial configuration information to the
[c]FP-PWM-520. After the [c]FP-PWM-520 receives this initial
information, the green READY indicator lights and the module is
in normal operating mode.
In addition to the green POWER and READY indicators, each
channel has a numbered, green status LED that lights when the
channel is in the ON state.
Upgrading Your FieldPoint Firmware
You may need to upgrade your FieldPoint firmware when you add
new I/O modules to your FieldPoint system. For information on
determining which firmware you need and how to upgrade your
firmware, go to ni.com/info and enter fpmatrix.
Isolation and Safety Guidelines
Caution Read the following information before
attempting to connect the [c]FP-PWM-520 to any circuits
that may contain hazardous voltages.
This section describes the isolation of the [c]FP-PWM-520 and its
compliance with international safety standards. The field wiring
connections are isolated from the backplane and the inter-module
communication bus. The isolation barriers in the module provide
250Vrms Measurement Category II continuous isolation, verified
by 2,300Vrms , 5s dielectric withsta nd test. The [c]FP-PWM-520
provides double insulation (compliant with IEC61010-1) for
working voltages of 250 Vrms1. Safety standards (such as those
published by UL and IEC) require the use of double insulation
between hazardous voltages and any human-accessible parts or
circuits.
Never try to use any isolation product between human-accessible
parts (such as DIN rails or monitoring stations) and circuits that
can be at hazardous potentials under normal conditions, unless the
product is specifically designed for such an application, as is the
[c]FP-PWM-520.
1 Working voltage is defined as the signal voltage plus the common-mode voltage.
Common-mode voltage is the voltage of the module with respect to ground.
