The National Instruments FP-1100 is a robust Network Module designed for use with FieldPoint systems, compliant with DeviceNet specifications and supporting multiple baud rates. The module features an 8-position switch interface, allowing users to configure the baud rate effectively by utilizing the last two switches to represent the least significant bit (LSB) and most significant bit (MSB). For operational status, the FP-1100 includes three LED indicators: a green POWER LED to confirm adequate power supply, a MOD/NET STATUS LED, and an I/O STATUS LED. The module also has a reset function that allows users to reset the FP-1100 and all connected I/O modules, ensuring consistent performance across both instance and example dimensions of the Identity Object. The Acknowledge Handler Object integrated within the module facilitates the management of message acknowledgments through change-of-state (COS) or cyclic communication, providing real-time notifications of acknowledgment gathering, timeouts, and retry limits. Additionally, the FP-1100 supports a DeviceNet interface with a maximum of 8 configurable I/O points, offering high-performance networking capabilities. The module is backed by a 2-3 year warranty, and comprehensive user and maintenance manuals are available for download.
