National Instruments cFP-BP-4 Backplane Module for Compact Fieldpoint

The NI cFP-BP-4 (Part number: 778617-04) Backplane Module has two backplanes built of expelled metal with grounding carriers on the base and a screw-down with 37-stick D-Sub connectors for I/O associations. The backplanes accompany a cFP-PM-Horizontal mounting section, which gives mounting openings. For different mounting options, the user has the option to buy a vertical board mount, a DIN-rail mount, or a 19 in. rack-mount kit. These backplanes are utilized with Compact FieldPoint. Compact FieldPoint is intended for modern control applications that perform advanced implanted control, information logging, headless task, and Ethernet network. Compact FieldPoint, the most rough and reliable NI stage, is intended for mechanical and versatile conditions with high shock, high vibration, and temperature extremes. This model is a more affordable Backplane Module with an assortment of communication alternatives and Ethernet.

To power up this Backplane Module, the user will need to look for the DIP switches on the controller, ensuring that the RESET IP switch is on and that the CONSOLE OUT switches are in the OFF position. Then, module each power supply to the Compact FieldPoint framework. The cFP-CAL runs a power-on individual test, amid which the POWER and STATUS LEDs are relentlessly lit. After around three seconds, the STATUS LED starts blazing relentlessly if there is an Ethernet link associated with the Ethernet port. The cFP-CAL is then ready to be arranged. The cFP-BP-4 has power requirements of 15 W at +24 VDC, a power supply range of 11 to 30 VDC.

The NI device can be programmed using software packages/application development environments such as LabVIEW or LabWIndows/CVI. It can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.

National Instruments recommends refraining from working with the NI cFP-BP-4 under a Pollution Degree 2 when it is matter in liquid, gaseous, or solid because it could affect the dielectric force on the instrument. The NI device weighs 9.8 oz (278 g). It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of –25 to 60 °C and –40 to 85 °C respectively, a non-condensing relative humidity range of 10 to 90%, random and sinusoidal operating vibrations of 5 grms and 5 g respectively–all at a frequency range of 10 to 500 Hz.
