  • Page 7: Field Wiring

    Field Wiring The FP-TB-1 and FP-TB-2 provide four dedicated terminals and 32 numbered terminals defined by the I/O module. The terminals are designed for 16–26 AWG copper conductor wire with 7 mm (0.28 in.) of insulation stripped from the end as shown in Figure 7. Use only copper wire unless you are working with a sensing device, such as a thermocouple, that requires a different kind of wire.

  • Page 9 Powering the FieldPoint System Consider the following points when connecting power to the FieldPoint system. • The total current flowing through the V and C terminals must be limited to 10 A. If you have a single external supply for the field devices of more than one module, wire the supply to the V and C terminals as shown in Figure 9.

  • Page 13: Specifications

    Minimizing Thermal Gradients The most common source of thermal gradients, particularly for the FP-TB-1 and FP-TB-2, is the heat generated by adjacent modules. For example, placing an FP-TB-1 next to an FP-1000 network module can create more than a 1 °C thermal gradient. Mounted thermocouple modules can be separated from the higher-power modules by the lowest-power modules in your system or by the FieldPoint Bus Extender Cable (part number 185576-15).
