Battery blink

[Pitrus]

Hello I'm new at the family,
When I put the two connectors at the FP-1000, the battery blink. When I connect only one, he doesn't blink. Will I have to change the battery?

Hello,

what do you mean with " when I put two connectors...."? Could you give more information about what are you doing?
Is the power LED green or another color?

In the FP-1000 User Manual, you can find that an 11–30 VDC power supply is required by each FieldPoint network
module. Also, you can find which is the power consumption ( 1 watt + 1.15 × Add(I/O Module Consumption))

Hi,

I found the problem, it was a bad connection on the FP-1000.

I have a new question/problem:

I'm working with a:
FP-AI-110 (to measure temperatures of a reactor with a pt-100)
FP-AO-200 (to warm inside the reactor with a power compensation measurement(resistance))
Labview main program (read the temperature values, control values of power of the resistance)

The FPExplorer writes the voltage values of the pt-100 on-line.
For the FP-AO-200, FPExplorer writes values of 0,00mA, it doesn't receive signal. But when I write directly the intensity values, the resistance does warm the reactor. That could show me that there are not bad connections, but it could be that FPExplorer doesn't read the values from the main program.

How can I do to know if the values that the FPExplorer read are sent to the Labview program.
How can I do to make the Labview program read the FPExplorer values, or write the input values of the resistance?
Is there any option to be sure that the Labview program has an enabled option to the FPExplorer?
...

Thank you very much
Regards

Hello,

Fieldpoint Explorer is just a diagnostic application to test FP modules. From it, you can also configure each FP module and save the configuration in a .iak file. Then, you can use that .iak file in LabVIEW.
If you are seeing that strange behaviour it could be because you are accessing from LabVIEW and FP Exploer at the same time to FP network module. When LabVIEW application is running, you shouldn't test the FP modules from FP Explorer. It is better to use a multimeter and measure current or voltage directly onto the FP modules.

I hope this helps.
