    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. ·...
  • Page 6 Connect the Network Cables You have several network connection options with the FP-1000 and FP-1001, as shown here. Connecting the FP-1000 to a Computer’s RS-232 Serial Port Use a male-to-female (straight through) cable to connect the computer’s RS- 232 port to the 9-position DSub RS-232 connector on the FP-1000. FP-1000 NOTE: You cannot connect the RS-485 port of the FP-1000 directly to an RS-485 port on the computer.
  • Page 7 Connecting the FP-1000 to an FP-1001 You can connect up to 24 FP-1001 RS-485 serial network modules to an FP-1000. Use the RS-485 repeater port of the FP-1000, with the connection shown in this figure. A. Connect the TX outputs of the FP-1001 to the RX inputs of the FP-1000, and the RX inputs of the FP-1001 to the TX outputs of the FP-1000.
  • Page 8 RS-485 interface usually provides for biasing resistors, NOTE: The pinout for the RS-485 DB-9 which are required on an connector shown is for National Instruments RS-485 network. You should RS-485 cards. Please refer to the manuals use this biasing feature for better that came with your RS-485 card, as the reliability and noise immunity.
