This is the amount of power the network module consumes from the power
supply to power itself and the I/O modules. It does not include any power
consumed by devices that you wire to the terminal bases.
The operating instructions for each FieldPoint I/O module contain power
consumption information.
Power-On Self Test (POST)
The power-on self test (POST) is a test suite that the FP-3000 performs at
power up to verify its own operational status. The test takes several
seconds. The test is non-invasive and therefore does not affect the operation
of the network, nor does it affect any of your field wiring connected to the
terminal bases in the bank.
If the self-test suite fails, the FP-3000 does not participate in the network
communication traffic, eliminating potential conflicts with the other banks
in your network.
The FP-3000 indicates POST failure through the POWER and STATUS
LEDs. Refer to the section LED Indicators for more information.
Connect the FP-3000 to the Fieldbus Network
The FP-3000 can be one of 32 devices connected to a Fieldbus network.
The connection is made through the 9-pin male Dsub Fieldbus connector
on the FP-3000, shown in Figure 2-11.
