Table 1 lists the terminal assignments for the signals of each channel. Terminal assignments are also listed on the side panel of the cFP-PWM-520 and under the slide-in card on the front of the FP-PWM-520. Connect to the terminals using the terminal base, connector block, or other connectivity accessory.
• In FieldPoint software, set the duty cycle to 0%. The channel resets immediately. FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520 5 V – (1 A × R ) = V section for the value of the ON...
The [c]FP-PWM-520 has two green status LEDs, POWER and READY. After you insert the FP-PWM-520 onto a terminal base or the cFP-PWM-520 onto a backplane and apply power to the connected network module, the green POWER indicator lights and the [c]FP-PWM-520 informs the network module of its presence.

Operate the [c]FP-PWM-520 at or below Measurement Category II. Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation. This category refers to local-level distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet. FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520 . Connect the ni.com...
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The cFP-PWM-520 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nC IIC T4 and Ex nC IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only.
185715A-02 identifies a revision A cFP-PWM-520. The part number is printed on a label on the module. On the FP-PWM-520, the label is on the bottom of the module. On the cFP-PWM-520, the label is on the back of the module. FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520 current ×...
Figure 5 shows the mechanical dimensions of the FP-PWM-520 installed on a terminal base. If you are using the cFP-PWM-520, refer to your Compact FieldPoint controller user manual for the dimensions and cabling clearance requirements of the Compact FieldPoint system.
Shock and Vibration These specifications apply only to the cFP-PWM-520. NI recommends Compact FieldPoint if your application is subject to shock and vibration. Operating vibration, random (IEC 60068-2-64)... 10–500 Hz, 5 g Operating vibration, sinusoidal (IEC 60068-2-6)... 10–500 Hz, 5 g Operating shock (IEC 60068-2-27)...
