Overview

The NI [c]FP-AIO-600 is a versatile combination analog input and analog output

module for Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint that you can use to measure

voltages and 0 to 20 or 4 to 20 mA current loops from industrial sensors and

transmitters and to control valves, gauges, and other industrial actuators. The

[c]FP-AIO-600 is ideal for low-channel-count systems or for PID control with

high-speed I/O. The module has overranging and onboard diagnostics to ensure

trouble-free installation and maintenance. The [c]FP-AIO-600 measures and

linearizes signals onboard to return scaled values to your control or monitoring

software, accept engineering units from your control or monitoring software,

and automatically scale and linearize output signals. The [c]FP-AIO-600 module

comes with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, ensuring accurate and

reliable analog measurement and control.

Smart I/O Module

You can connect the [c]FP-AIO-600 directly to industrial actuators or units under

test and achieve high-accuracy measurement and control. The module calibrates,

scales engineering units to sensor signals, and performs self-diagnostics to

look for problems with the module or with the wiring, such as open current

loops. With the [c]FP-AIO-600 module, your software application reads and

writes engineering values from the module, eliminating the error-prone step of

converting voltage or current to binary values.

The module has an update rate of 1.7 kHz. Overall data throughput depends

on the software loop speeds and the network speeds.

[c]FP-AIO-600

The [c]FP-AIO-600 includes four 0 to 30 V or 0 to 20/4 to 20 mA analog inputs

and four 0 to 20/4 to 20 mA analog outputs. The analog inputs and outputs use a

12-bit DAC. Each output channel includes a monitoring circuit and LED indicator

for open current loop detection. The [c]FP-AIO-600 requires an external power

supply, providing 5 to 30 VDC.

Isolation

The [c]FP-AIO-600 features optical bank isolation with 2,300 V

isolation. These Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint modules do not have

channel-to-channel isolation.

Field I/O Connections

Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint modules include a built-in power distribution

bus that provides multiple power connections on the module. A field-wired

power supply connected to the voltage (V) and common (C) terminals is internally

connected to a power distribution bus that provides additional breakout

terminals for voltage supply (V

convenient way to distribute power to field devices that require external power.

The [c]FP-AIO-600 has:

4 voltage input terminals (V
