Overview
The National Instruments [c]FP-AI-1xx devices are versatile analog input modules for Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint that can be used to measure voltages ranging from the millivolt level to the 120 V high-voltage level in applications such as battery-pack monitoring, fuel-cell testing, and general measurement from transducers. These modules can also measure 0 to 20 or 4 to 20 mA current loops from industrial sensors and transmitters. All the modules include overranging and onboard diagnostics to ensure trouble-free installation and maintenance. The modules measure and linearize signals on-board to return scaled values to your control or monitoring software. The [c]FP-AI-1xx modules come with NIST-traceable calibration certificates, ensuring accurate and reliable analog measurements.

Smart I/O Modules

With [c]FP-AI-1xx analog input modules, you can directly connect to your industrial sensors or units under test and get high-accuracy measurements. The I/O modules filter, calibrate, and scale raw sensor signals to engineering units, as well as performing self-diagnostics to

look for problems with the module or the wiring. With FieldPoint modules, your software application reads a linearized, calibrated, and scaled value from the I/O module, eliminating the error-prone step of converting binary values to voltage or current values. For increased accuracy and noise rejection, the [c]FP-AI-110 and [c]FP-AI-111 use a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with an integrated lowpass filter on each channel, which you can configure for 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or no rejection. With high-accuracy 12-bit ADCs or 16-bit delta-sigma ADCs on the I/O modules, you also get instrument-quality measurements on an industrially rugged, distributed, embedded system. [c]FP-AI-1xx modules offer a variety of update rates to fit your application, ranging from 0.66 to 360 Hz. These rates vary based on the module used and on the noise filter settings selected on the module. Overall data throughput depends on software loop speeds and network speeds. With overranging and underranging, the [c]FP-AI-1xx analog input modules can measure inputs or sensors that are not calibrated to standard ranges. For example, when configured for an input range of 4 to 20 mA, the modules actually measure inputs from 3.5 to 21 mA.

Overview
The National Instruments cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x are versatile temperature input modules for Compact FieldPoint, used to measure thermocouples, millivolt-level voltages, thermistors, and 2, 3, and 4-wire RTDs. They are used in applications such as temperature chamber control, device testing, and process control. Thermocouples are low-cost, flexible temperature devices. RTD sensors are used in applications for acquiring temperatures with high accuracy. Two and 3-wire RTDs work well for applications with short signal wires and low noise levels; 4-wire RTDs are well-suited for applications with long signal wires or high noise levels. All of these I/O modules include overranging and onboard diagnostics to ensure trouble-free installation and maintenance. The modules measure and linearize signals on board to return scaled values to your control or monitoring software. NI cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x modules have NISTtraceable calibration certificates (available on request), ensuring accurate and reliable analog measurements.

Compact FieldPoint
Compact FieldPoint is designed for industrial control applications that perform advanced embedded control, data logging, headless operation, and Ethernet connectivity. Compact FieldPoint, a rugged, reliable NI platform, is designed for industrial and mobile environments with high shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.

Isolation
The cFP-TC-125 provides 250 Vrms common-mode voltage protection between channels, and all cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x modules feature optical bank isolation with 2,300 Vrms of breakdown isolation. In addition, the cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x provide double insulation for up to 250 Vrms of operational isolation. You can safely use Compact FieldPoint with the cFP-CB-1 or cFP-CB-3 connector block in applications where hazardous voltages are present.

Thermocouple and RTD Modules for Compact FieldPoint

cFP-RTD-124
The cFP-RTD-124 includes eight inputs for 2 and 4-wire RTDs. The module uses a stable current source for sensor excitation and an onboard microcontroller that linearizes and scales the measurements to temperature units. You can configure each channel of the modules to return data scaled to temperature (C, F, or K) or resistance. Four-wire RTDs used with the cFP-RTD-124 are ideal for applications involving long signal wires or high signal noise. The 4-wire configuration eliminates the voltage drop caused by lead wire resistance and reduces errors caused by noise.

Smart I/O Modules

The cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x modules offer 16-bit resolution for high-accuracy measurements, and you can connect directly to industrial sensors or units under test with the safety isolation available. The modules filter, calibrate, and scale raw sensor signals to engineering units, as well as perform self-diagnostics to look for problems such as open thermocouples. With cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x modules, your software application reads a linearized, calibrated, scaled value from the I/O module, eliminating the error-prone step of converting binary values to temperature. For increased accuracy and noise rejection, the modules use a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with an integrated lowpass filter on each channel, which is configured for 50 and 60 Hz rejection. With high-accuracy 16-bit delta-sigma ADCs on the I/O modules, you also get instrument-quality measurements on an industrially rugged, distributed, embedded system. cFP-TC-12x and cFP-RTD-12x modules offer a variety of different update rates to fit your application, ranging from 0.22 s with filters off and 1.08 to 1.13 s with filters enabled. Overall data throughput depends on filter settings across all channels, software loop speeds, and network speeds.

Isothermal Connectivity for the cFP-TC-12x

For maximum accuracy, NI recommends using an isothermal connector block with the cFP-TC-12x. The cFP-CB-3 isothermal connector block minimizes the temperature gradient across wiring connections, improving the accuracy of the cold-junction measurement, and, therefore, of thermocouple measurements.

Compact FieldPoint I/O Connections

Compact FieldPoint modules include a built-in power distribution bus that provides multiple power connections on the module. A field-wired power supply connected to the voltage (V) and common (C) terminals is internally connected to a power distribution bus that provides additional breakout terminals for voltage supply (VSUP) and common (COM). These terminals offer a convenient way to distribute power to field devices that require external power. Each cFP-TC-12x input channel has two terminals for differential input: 1. Thermocouple positive input (IN+) 2. Thermocouple negative input (IN-) Each cFP-RTD-122 input channel has three terminals: 1. Excitation output (EXCITE) 2. Sensing input (SENSE) 3. Common input (COM) Each cFP-RTD-124 input channel has four terminals: 1. Excitation output (EXCITE) 2. Positive sensing input (SENSE+) 3. Negative sensing input (SENSE-) 4. Common input (COM)

cFP-TC-120
The cFP-TC-120 includes eight differential inputs for thermocouples. It also provides cold-junction compensation using a thermistor embedded in the connector block. An onboard microcontroller compensates and linearizes the thermocouple reading to the NIST IST-90 standard, using an advanced linearization routine for maximum accuracy.

cFP-TC-125
In addition to the thermistor and linearization features of the cFP-TC-120, the cFP-TC-125 provides 250 Vrms of common-mode rejection, ideal for applications where differences in voltages might exist between connected thermocouples. The cFP-TC-125 also provides 0.22 s update rates when the 50/60 Hz filter is not enabled.

cFP-RTD-122
The cFP-RTD-122 includes eight inputs for 2 and 3-wire RTDs. The module uses a stable current source for sensor excitation and an onboard microcontroller that linearizes and scales the measurements to temperature units. You can configure each channel of the module to return data scaled to temperature (C, F, or K) or resistance. The 3-wire configuration used with the cFP-RTD-122 eliminates errors caused by lead wire resistance but does not reduce errors caused by noise. If your application involves high noise or long wires, you should use 4-wire RTDs with the cFP-RTD-124.

You can safely use Compact FieldPoint in applications where hazardous voltages are present when used with the cFP-CB-1 connector block. You can safely use FieldPoint in applications where hazardous voltages are present with the FP-TB-x terminal base. These Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint modules do not have channel-to-channel isolation.

Digital Input Modules

The [c]FP-DI-3xx modules provide built-in module-to-module isolation to protect your FieldPoint system and controller or communication interface from high voltage levels. The DI-300, DI-301, and DI-304 modules use a common ground plane for all the input channels. Each channel on the DI-300, DI-301, and DI-304 modules include current-limiting circuitry to prevent module damage when connected directly to a 24 VDC source. The DI-330 uses eight optically isolated input channels so that each digital input has a separate ground plane, and you can use each channel with a different voltage potential. Thus, you can connect one channel to a 5 VDC TTL signal and another signal on the same DI-330 module to a 250 VAC line voltage. Each channel on the DI-330 includes current-limiting circuitry that limits the total current to 1.5 mA to prevent damaging the module. All channels on

Field I/O Connections

Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint modules include a built-in power distribution bus that provides multiple power connections on the module. A field wired power supply connected to the voltage (V) and common (C) terminals is internally connected to a power distribution bus that delivers additional breakout terminals for voltage supply (VSUP) and common (COM). These terminals offer a convenient way to distribute power to field devices that require external power.

Flexible I/O Connectivity

The Compact FieldPoint backplane provides standard 37-pin D-Sub connectors for the signals from the I/O modules. This provides you the flexibility to choose the connectivity method that works best for your application. You have three options to connect field wiring to the 37-pin D-Sub connectors: 1. Using an integrated connector block like the cFP-CB-1, cFP-CB-3, or cFP-CB-11 2. Using a cable to an external connector block mounted on a DIN rail 3. Making your own custom cable.
Figure 1. cFP-CB-1 General-Purpose Connector Block

Integrated Connector Blocks

The most secure and compact connectivity option is to use the integrated connector blocks. We offer three connector blocks the cFP-CB-1, the cFP-CB-3, and the cFP-CB-11.

cFP-CB-1 (See Figure 1)

The cFP-CB-1 is a general-purpose connector block suitable for any I/O module. With 36 terminals, the connector block simplifies wiring by eliminating the need to connect more than one wire to a terminal. The cFP-CB-1 also features both a built-in strain relief bar and a separate wire tie connector, making it easy to create secure wiring setups for high shock and vibration applications. Although both the cFP-CB-1 and the cFP-CB-3 feature a built-in thermistor for cold-junction compensation, we recommend using the cFP-CB-3 when measuring thermocouples.

Figure 2. cFP-CB-3 Isothermal Connector Block for Thermocouple Measurement

cFP-CB-3 (See Figure 2)

The cFP-CB-3 connector block is designed for use with the cFP-TC-120 module. The cFP-CB-3 uses isothermal construction to minimize thermal gradients on the I/O terminals. This increases the accuracy of the thermistor that is used for cold-junction compensation. The cFP-CB-3 also features both a built-in strain relief bar and a separate wire tie connector, making it easy to create secure wiring setups for high shock and vibration applications.

cFP-CB-11 (See Figure 3) Industrial Control and Distributed I/O

The cFP-CB-11 is a low-profile, general-purpose connector block suitable for any I/O module except the thermocouple module. These connector blocks feature a side exit for the wiring, making them a good fit for applications with limited front clearance. Because the connector blocks are smaller, the cFP-CB-11 is best suited for applications that use small-gauge wire or that use only a few channels.

Power Supplies (see Figure 4)

National Instruments offers five DC supplies for Compact FieldPoint systems. You connect the power supply output to the Compact FieldPoint controller, which regulates, filters, and distributes power to the bank of up to eight I/O modules that it controls. All five power supplies can power an entire bank of Compact FieldPoint I/O modules. The PS-5 mounts on a DIN rail and is recommended for most Compact FieldPoint installations.
