Product Description
The FP-TB-1 NI FieldPoint terminal base is a high-quality installation base designed specifically for NI FieldPoint modules.It provides a convenient and efficient solution for the organization and connection of FieldPoint modules in industrial automation and control systems.
Features
Field wiring connections for FieldPoint I/O modules
Local bus for communication and module power supply
Screw terminal and spring terminal options
DIN rail and panel installation
Durable interlocking design for installation
The National Instruments FP-TB series consists of universal terminal blocks for FieldPoint I/O systems,which can accept any FieldPoint I/O module and provide convenient screw or spring terminals for field wiring connections.After installation,the FieldPoint terminal block also forms a local bus to transmit communication and power to the I/O module.The FP-TB-1/2 terminal block can be used with any FieldPoint module(except for the dual channel series),and you can mix and use them on the same FieldPoint group.The FP-TB-3 module is designed specifically for use with the FP-TC-120 thermocouple module.
FP-TB-1 is a screw terminal FieldPoint terminal base with 36 channels.FP-TB-1 is compatible with any FieldPoint I/O module(except for dual channel modules).The terminal block can provide convenient on-site wiring connections through screw terminals.The manufacturer of the terminal base is National Instruments.The terminal block is easy to inspect and has part number 777519-01.The NI FP-TB-1 can be used with any FieldPoint module,except for dual channel modules.
FP-TB-1 can be clamped,locked,and installed on panels or DIN rails.However,before installing the network module,please remember that its power should not be active under any power supply.The NI FP-TB-1 has 36 channels,of which 4 are dedicated channel terminals and 32 numbered terminals are defined by the I/O module.Half of the dedicated channel terminals in the terminal base are V channels,while the rest are C channels.The maximum current of these terminals should be limited to 10 A or less.If the current is below 3 A,a single terminal can be used as the return path.The maximum operating voltage of NI equipment is 250 V(channel to ground,CAT II)FP-TB-1
There is a thermal gradient in the system due to various reasons such as cold and hot airflow,thermocouple wires,and heat generated by adjacent modules.The NI FP-TB-1 terminal wiring is made of copper wire with standard 16-26 AWG insulation removed from the end.Copper wire is usually used,unless different wire materials are required for sensing instruments such as thermocouples.
The NI FP-TB-1 weighs 7.4 ounces and has a physical size of 4.2 x 4.3 x 3.6 inches.The recommended operating and storage temperature ranges are-40 to 70°C and-55 to 85°C,respectively,with a non condensing relative humidity range of 10 to 90%.The FieldPoint terminal base design complies with the following electrical safety standards:EN 61010-1:1993/A2:1995,IEC 61010-1:1990/A2:1995,UL 3121:1998,and CAN/CSA c22.2 No.1010.1:1992/A2:1997.
Application field
The FP-TB-1 NI FieldPoint terminal base is commonly used in various industrial applications,including manufacturing,process control,and data acquisition systems.
