    I/O count by using more RS-232/RS-485 ports in your host computer. FP-1000 Connects to RS-232 The FP-1000 connects directly to the RS-232 port that is available on most host computers. Since RS-232 is a point-to-point network that allows connection to only one device, the FP-1000 provides an RS-485 repeater so that you can build a network with multiple FieldPoint banks.

    Chapter 1 FP-1000 and FP-1001 Network Module Overview FP-1001 Connects to RS-485 The FP-1001 FieldPoint network module connects directly to an RS-485 adapter card that is installed in your host computer. Since RS-485 is inherently a multidrop network, the FP-1001 does not provide a separate RS-485 repeater.

  • Page 15: Connecting The Fp-1001 To The Network

    One option for connecting the FP-1001 is to connect it to the RS-485 repeater port of an FP-1000 as shown in Figure 2-5. An alternative method is to connect the FP-1001 directly to your host computer, if your host computer provides an RS-485 interface (contact National Instruments for information about available RS-485 hardware).

  • Page 16: Connecting To The Serial Ports

    The RS-485 interface on both the FP-1000 and the FP-1001 modules is isolated from the rest of the FieldPoint system, including the power supply, backplane, and the RS-232 interface on the FP-1000. It is isolated with a galvanic and optical isolation barrier, which has been designed and tested to withstand fault voltages of up to 2500 Vrms.

    The FP-1000 does not use RS-232 hardware handshaking, but it still asserts the RTS and DSR signals for host computers or software that may require these signals. A host computer that does not use these signals does not need to connect to them.
