- Page 2 ™ FieldPoint Operating Instructions FP-AI-100 and cFP-AI-100 Eight-Channel, 12-Bit Analog Input Modules These operating instructions describe how to install and use the FP-AI-100 and cFP-AI-100 analog input modules (referred to inclusively as the [c]FP-AI-100). For information about configuring and accessing the [c]FP-AI-100 over a network, refer to the user manual for the FieldPoint network module you are using.
- Page 3 To install the FP-AI-100, refer to Figure 1 and complete the following steps: 1. Slide the terminal base key to either position X (used for any module) or position 1 (used for the FP-AI-100). 2. Align the FP-AI-100 alignment slots with the guide rails on the terminal base.
- Page 4 The cFP-CB-x connector block provides the same connections. 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. © National Instruments Corp. FP-AI-100 and cFP-AI-100...
- Page 5 Table 1. Terminal Assignments Terminal Numbers Channel Each channel has separate input terminals for voltage (V ) and current (I ) input. Voltage and current inputs are referenced to the COM terminals. If you are using an external supply to power field devices, connect the power supply to the V and C terminals of the terminal base or connector block.

Page 9: Input Ranges
Input Ranges To prevent inaccurate readings, choose an input range such that the signal you are measuring does not exceed either end of the range. If a channel is not in use, short the positive input to ground and configure the channel for a bipolar input range. Small fluctuations in floating input signals can cause the red Out of Range status LED on the module to light if the channel is configured for a unipolar range. -
