1. Mount the Compact FieldPoint Backplane You can mount the cFP-BP-x backplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel, or in a standard 19 in. rack. Before using any of these mounting methods, record the serial number from the back of the backplane. Each set of mounting instructions in this document includes an instruction to connect the protective earth (PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-x backplane to the system safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal has the following symbol stamped beside it: .

Bolt or screw the panel-mount accessory to a panel. 3. Connect the PE ground terminal on the cFP-BP-x to safety ground. Caution Disconnect power before removing the backplane from the panel. Mounting the Backplane on a DIN Rail NI recommends DIN rail mounting for the cFP-BP-4 only.
L NA S TIO ENT NATRUM INS Do not use screws longer than 5/16 in. to fasten the DIN rail clip to the backplane. Caution 2. Insert one edge of the DIN rail into the deeper opening of the DIN rail clip. 3. Press down firmly on the backplane to compress the spring until the clip locks in place on the DIN rail. 4. Connect the PE ground terminal on the cFP-BP-4 to safety ground. Disconnect power before removing the backplane from the DIN rail.
Mounting the Backplane in a Standard 19-in. Rack 1. Fasten the rack-mount bracket to the back of the cFP-BP-x using the captive screws on the bracket. L NA TS TIO EN NATRUM INS 2. Bolt the rack-mount accessory to a standard 19-in. rack. cFP-20xx Quick Start Guide 8 ni.

2. Install the cFP-20xx Controller on the Backplane 1. Make sure that no power is connected to the controller. 2. Make sure that the cFP-20xx controller is right side up with the NI logo at the top, and align the captive screws on the controller with the holes on the backplane. 3. Seat the card edge at the back of the controller in the card-edge connector on the backplane. 4. Press the controller firmly to seat it on the backplane. 5. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver with a shank of at least 64 mm (2.

3. Install I/O Modules on the Backplane 1. Align the captive screws on the I/O module with the holes on the backplane. 2. Press firmly to seat the I/O module on the backplane. 3. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver with a shank of at least 64 mm (2.5 in.) length, tighten the captive screws to 1.1 N · m (10 lb · in.) of torque. 4. Repeat this procedure to install additional I/O modules on the backplane. cFP-20xx Quick Start Guide 12 ni.
4. Install Connector Blocks on the Backplane In order to connect I/O modules to input signals or to external loads, you need to install a cFP-CB-x connector block or other connectivity accessory for each I/O module on the backplane. Use the connector socket to the right of each I/O module socket. Do not insert or remove connector blocks or other connectivity accessories while power is applied to them. Caution 1. Wire field devices as described in the I/O module and connector block operating instructions.
5. Connect the cFP-20xx to Your Network Connect the cFP-20xx controller to an Ethernet network using the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the controller. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the cFP-20xx to an Ethernet hub, or use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the controller directly to a computer. To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation, do not use a cable longer than 100 m.
6. Wire Power to the Compact FieldPoint System Each cFP-20xx on your network requires an 11–30 VDC power supply. 1. Connect the positive lead of the primary power supply to one of the V1 terminals and the negative lead to one of the C terminals. 2. If you are using a backup power supply, connect the positive lead to V2 and the negative lead to one of the C terminals. The cFP-20xx uses the power supply with the higher voltage level. V2 is isolated from the other V terminals.
7. Powering Up the cFP-20xx Check the DIP switches on the controller, making sure that the RESET IP switch is not enabled. Plug in each power supply to the Compact FieldPoint system. The cFP-20xx runs a power-on self test (POST) that takes several seconds. You should see the POWER and STATUS LEDs come on. After about five seconds, the STATUS LED begins flashing steadily. The cFP-20xx is ready to be configured.
8. Install Software on the Host PC 1. Install the software packages you plan to use, such as LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, Measurement Studio, VI Logger, or LabWindows™/CVI™, before you install the FieldPoint software. The FieldPoint software installation installs the LabVIEW VIs and examples and the LabWindows/CVI instrument driver only if it finds the corresponding development software installed. 2. Close all other applications. 3.
