Supported FieldPoint Modules and Channels
The FP-3000 supports a wide variety of I/O channels, each with different
types of configuration information. For example, a thermocouple channel
includes parameters for thermocouple type and has ranges for different
temperatures; a current loop channel includes parameters for filter
frequency and has a different group of available ranges to chose from.
Because of these differences in parameters, the FP-3000 has a block
specific to each type of channel it supports. For example, to use a
thermocouple connected to an I/O channel on an FP-TC-120 module, the
FP-3000 provides a FP-TC-120 AI Block. This block is a standard Analog
Input block augmented with parameters specific to the thermocouple
channel on the FP-TC-120.
The FP-3000 does not support all FieldPoint I/O modules. In particular, the
counter module is one module that is often requested, but not supported.
Support for other modules might be added in later firmware revisions.
The following table shows the function block that corresponds to each
supported FieldPoint I/O module.
