Install the I/O Module(s)

It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except for
these types of situations:
· · · · If you plan to cascade power between any I/O modules using the
V and C terminals, those modules should be grouped together.
· · · · For more accurate measurements, you might want to locate any
thermocouple modules away from heat sources, including network
modules or relay modules, unless you are mounting them on an FP-TB-3.
A. Align slots on module with guide rails on
base, and press onto base until terminal
base's latch locks the module in place.
B. Repeat for each I/O module.

Connect the Network Cables

Connect the FP-1600 to an Ethernet network by connecting the RJ-45
Ethernet port of the FP-1600 to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5
Ethernet cable.
