Power Up Your FieldPoint System
CAUTION: Terminal bases must be connected to the FP-1600 before
power is applied to the FP-1600.
Plug in each power supply to
your FieldPoint bank. You should
see all except the STATUS and
PROCESS LEDs flash once, and
the POWER LED come on and
stay on. After a few seconds, the
POWER and READY LEDs should
be lit on each I/O module. If this
is not the case, refer to your
FP-1600 user manual for
troubleshooting instructions.
The READY LEDs will not light until an IP address is assigned. Likewise, the
STATUS LED will stay lit until an IP address is assigned.
After the hardware is installed, you should verify communication, configure
the modules, configure your power-up states and watchdog settings. If you
are using National Instruments FieldPoint software for these tasks, continue
to the following section.
POWER and READY LEDs Stay Lit
