FP-1601

National Instruments FP-1601 Network Ethernet Interface for FieldPoint
Features

• PC-Distributed I/O Ethernet Network Interface
• High-Performance Networking
• Secure Ethernet Access with IP Filtering
• Industrial Grade Reliability

The National Instruments FP-1601 Network Ethernet Interface for Fieldpoint connects up to nine FieldPoint I/O modules to a high-speed Ethernet network. With up to 100 Mb/s data communication rates and event-driven communications, the NI FP-1601 delivers a high-performance network connection for FieldPoint that is easy to interface with a PC and easy to use.

The FP-1601 manages communications between the host PC and the I/O modules over a local high-speed bus formed by FieldPoint terminal bases. The network interface module also provides diagnostic and autoconfiguration features to simplify installation, use, and maintenance.

Applications can easily communicate with the FP-1601 interface to exchange data. The FP-1601 interface can communicate with a cFP-20xx embedded controller or with a Windows computer running LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Lookout, or your choice of OPC client application software. Using the FP-1601, you can rapidly build flexible, modular distributed measurement and automation systems.
