Installation; Field Wiring - National Instruments FieldPoint FP-PWM-520 Operating Instructions Manual

Installation

The FP-PWM-520 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base
(FP-TB-xx) unit. Because of its hot plug and play operation, you
can install the FP-PWM-520 onto a powered terminal base without
disturbing the operation of other modules or terminal bases. The
FP-PWM-520 receives operating power from the terminal base.
To install your module, 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-PWM-520 module).
2. Align the FP-PWM-520 alignment slots with the guide rails on
the terminal base.
3. Press firmly to seat the FP-PWM-520 on the terminal base.
When the module is firmly seated, the terminal base latch locks
it into place.
I/O Module

Field Wiring

The terminal base provides connections for each of the eight output
channels and for an external supply to power field devices.
Although the module does not need the external supply for its
internal operation, the output channels source current from this
external supply and require it to operate.
Each channel has one output terminal, V
terminals, COM (internally connected to the C terminal); and a
supply terminal, V
If you want to connect an external supply to power field devices,
connect to the V and C terminals of the terminal base, or to the V
