FP-1600 Hardware Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the FieldPoint FP-1600 network
module and FieldPoint software.
A FieldPoint system consists of at least one network module, at least
one terminal base, and one or more I/O modules.
The FieldPoint FP-1600 network module connects a 10/100 Ethernet
network to FieldPoint I/O modules. Because the FP-1600 is an Ethernet
device, the maximum number of FP-1600 network modules that can be
installed on your Ethernet network is determined by your network
topology. Each FP-1600 can support up to nine I/O modules.
The FP-1600 network module connects directly to a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
Ethernet network. The FP-1600 autodetects the speed of the connection and
configures itself accordingly.
