OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FP-AO-210
8-Channel, 10 V Analog Output Module
Features
The FP-AO-210 is a FieldPoint analog output module with the
following features:
Eight 0–10 V outputs
0.2 V over-range ability
12-bit resolution digital-to-analog converters
Onboard diagnostics, including current limit indicators
Hot plug and play operation
3,000 Vrms input-to-output isolation
Double insulated for 250 V safe working voltage
Up to 1 kOhm load impedance (with optional external power
supply)
–40 to +70 °C operation
Use this document to install the FP-AO-210 and learn about its
features and characteristics. For more information about
configuring and accessing the FP-AO-210 over a network, refer to
the user manual for the FieldPoint network module you are using
with the FP-AO-210.
Install Your Module
The FP-AO-210 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-xx)
unit. Because of its hot plug and play operation, you can install the
FP-AO-210 onto a powered terminal base without disturbing the
operation of other modules or terminal bases. The FP-AO-210
receives operating power from the terminal base.

  • Page 2 To install the FP-AO-210, 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 2 (used for the FP-AO-210 module). Using position 2 helps prevent accidentally inserting the wrong module onto a terminal base.

  • Page 6: Safety Guidelines

    After you insert the module into a terminal base (and apply power), the module runs an internal boot-up sequence and self test. If this test passes, the green POWER indicator lights and the FP-AO-210 informs the network module of its presence. When the network module recognizes the FP-AO-210, it sends initial configuration information to the FP-AO-210.
