National Instruments cFP-BP-8 Backplane Module for Compact Fieldpoint

The NI cFP-BP-8 (Part number: 778617-08) Compact FieldPoint framework is comprised of one backplane, one cFP-21xx controller, at least one I/O module, and at least one connector square. Each Compact FieldPoint framework can be accessed by a boundless number of PCs and controllers, shaping a conveyed registering framework. The most extreme number of cFP-21xx controllers that the user can introduce on an Ethernet network is constrained just by the arranged topology. FieldPoint programming incorporates NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and additionally server and driver programming for a simple mix into application programming bundles. These product segments deal with the low-level correspondences and equipment points of interest, disentangling automatic access to I/O channels. FieldPoint programming keeps running on Windows 2000/NT 4.0 Service Pack 6+/XP and incorporates the accompanying segments: MAX, LabVIEW VIs, LabVIEW Real-Time Module, LabWindows/CVI functions, Measurement Studio instrument drivers, Lookout, OPC server, and VI Logger. The NI device has 8 slots, with a power requirement of 24 VDC/20 W, and a power supply range of 11 to 30 VDC.

To associate I/O modules to enter flags or to outer loads, the user must introduce a cFP-BP-8 connector square or other network embellishment for every I/O module on the backplane. Then, it is possible to utilize the connector attachment to one side of every I/O module attachment. The device is equipped with a 37-pin D-SUB connector. The transient loads and working voltages are associated to estimation circuits from the circuit; they are related to aid test or estimation. The NI cFP-BP-8 Backplane Module for Compact FieldPoint additionally has the cFP-PM-H horizontal mounting bracket available. The mounting bracket offers mounting holes on the sides of the cFP-BP-8 module, allowing the user to easily mount the module to a panel.

The NI device weighs 9.8 oz. It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of –25 to 60 °C and –40 to 85 °C, a non-condensing humidity range of 10 to 90% RH, random and sinusoidal operating vibrations of 5 grms and 5 g respectively–at a frequency range of 10 to 500 Hz.

The cFP-BP-8 Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
