Eight-Channel Three-Wire RTD and
Resistance Input Modules
These operating instructions describe how to install and use the
National Instruments FP-RTD-122 and cFP-RTD-122 three-wire
RTD and resistance input modules (referred to inclusively as the
[c]FP-RTD-122). For details on configuring and accessing the
[c]FP-RTD-122 over a network, refer to the user manual for the
FieldPoint network module you are using.
Features
The [c]FP-RTD-122 is a FieldPoint RTD and resistance input
module with the following features:
Inputs for 100 and 1,000

  • Page 2 Figure 1. Installing the FP-RTD-122 Installing the cFP-RTD-122 The cFP-RTD-122 mounts on a Compact FieldPoint backplane (cFP-BP-x), which provides operating power to the module. Installing the cFP-RTD-122 onto a powered backplane does not disrupt the operation of the bank. FP-RTD-122 and cFP-RTD-122 4 Key...
  • Page 3 To install the cFP-RTD-122, refer to Figure 2 and complete the following steps: 1. Align the captive screws on the cFP-RTD-122 with the holes on the backplane. The alignment keys on the cFP-RTD-122 prevent backward insertion. 2. Press firmly to seat the cFP-RTD-122 on the backplane.
  • Page 4 The FP-TB-x terminal bases have connections for each of the eight input channels on the FP-RTD-122. The cFP-CB-x connector blocks provide the same connections for the cFP-RTD-122. Table 1 lists the terminal assignments for the signals associated with each channel. The terminal assignments are the same for the FP-TB-x terminal bases and the cFP-CB-x connector blocks.
  • Page 5 For the best accuracy, use the NI [c]FP-RTD-124 for input from four-wire RTDs. Otherwise, leave any one of the RTD wires unconnected and connect the remaining three as you would for a three-wire RTD. Refer to Figure 5. © National Instruments Corp. Pulsed [c]FP-RTD-122 SENSE...
