Eight-Channel, 5–30 V Digital Output Module
These operating instructions describe how to install and use the
National Instruments FP-DO-400 and cFP-DO-400 digital output
modules (referred to inclusively as the [c]FP-DO-400). For
information about configuring and accessing the [c]FP-DO-400
over a network, refer to the user manual for the FieldPoint network
module you are using.
Features
The [c]FP-DO-400 is a FieldPoint digital output module with the
following features:
Eight digital output channels
Sourcing outputs supply up to 1.5 A per channel, 8 A
module
Compatible with voltages from 5 to 30 VDC
On/Off LED indicators
2,300 V
rms
–40 to 70 °C operation
Hot swappable
User-configurable startup states
Installing the FP-DO-400
The FP-DO-400 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-x),
which provides operating power to the module. Installing the
FP-DO-400 onto a powered terminal base does not disrupt the
operation of the FieldPoint bank.

Summary of Contents for National Instruments FieldPoint FP-DO-400

  • Page 1 FP-DO-400 and cFP-DO-400 Eight-Channel, 5–30 V Digital Output Module These operating instructions describe how to install and use the National Instruments FP-DO-400 and cFP-DO-400 digital output modules (referred to inclusively as the [c]FP-DO-400). For information about configuring and accessing the [c]FP-DO-400 over a network, refer to the user manual for the FieldPoint network module you are using.
  • Page 2 To install the FP-DO-400, 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 4, used for the FP-DO-400 module. 2. Align the FP-DO-400 alignment slots with the guide rails on the terminal base.
  • Page 3 ), one supply terminal (V ), and two common terminals (COM). All eight channels are referenced to the COM terminals. The V and V terminals are all internally connected, as are the C and COM terminals. © National Instruments Corp. FP-DO-400 and cFP-DO-400...
  • Page 4 Use a 5–30 VDC external power supply for the output channels. The power supply must provide enough current to power all of the loads on the output channels, up to 1.5 A per channel. Connect the external power supply to multiple V and V terminals and to multiple C and COM terminals as needed to ensure that the maximum current through any terminal is 2 A or less.
  • Page 5: Digital Output Circuit

    In the following example, three channels supply 1.5 A each and one channel supplies 1 A: ≤ 8 A (1.5 A) + (1.5 A) + (1.5 A) + (1 A) © National Instruments Corp. FP-DO-400 and cFP-DO-400...
  • Page 6 The outputs must not be short-circuited to the Caution potential of the C or COM terminals (the negative voltage of the external supply). Short circuits damage the [c]FP-DO-400 output channels. Check all wiring carefully before applying power. In the ON state, the effective resistance between the output (V ) is 0.3 Ω.
  • Page 7 Inductive Load Figure 4. Digital Output Circuit (External Power Supply Not Shown) The [c]FP-DO-400 contains flyback diodes to prevent excessively high voltage from damaging the module. National Instruments still recommends using an external protection circuit across any inductive load.
  • Page 8: Status Indicators

    Status Indicators Figure 5 shows the status indicator LEDs on the [c]FP-DO-400. Figure 5. Status Indicators The [c]FP-DO-400 has two green status LEDs, POWER and READY. After you install the FP-DO-400 onto a terminal base or the cFP-DO-400 onto a backplane and apply power to the connected network module, the green POWER indicator lights and the [c]FP-DO-400 informs the network module of its presence.
