Hardware Installation and

Configuration

This chapter describes how to install and configure your FieldPoint

FP-1000 or FP-1001 network module, connect it to an RS-232 or

RS-485 network, and connect power to the network module.

You can choose either of two methods of securely mounting a FieldPoint

system: DIN rail mounting or direct panel mounting. Mounting directly to

a panel is generally the more secure of the two options, but DIN rail

mounting might be more convenient in your application. The following

sections give instructions for both mounting methods.

The FieldPoint network modules have rugged, simple clips for reliable

mounting onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Follow these steps to mount the

FP-1000/1001 network module onto a DIN rail.

Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the unlocked

position, as shown in Figure 2-1.
