FP-TC-120

[+972]

Hello All. I have FP-TC-120 thermocouples input module + FP1601 network interface.

It had been work perfect. Tonight was electrical supply  failure and now it looks broken :

- on the panel of FP1601 Power light - on; Status led (red ) - shines intermittently; network leds -shine intermittently; A-D leds - off.

- on the panel of FP-TC-120: power light - shines intermittently; Ready light - off; Thermocouples input leds (0-7) - are flashed.

Anybody have an idea about this?

Thanks,

Yury

Hi Yury,

The manual for the FP-1601 has several status LED codes listed on page C-3. Does the flashing fit any of these regimes (staying lit, 1 flash every few seconds, 2 flashes every few seconds, 3+ flashes)?

Also, can you verify that the power supplies voltage is in the range of 12-30VDC?

Does the FP-1601 show up in MAX under remote systems on the development machine?

Regards,

Thank you for your reply. I checked power supply - here is failure. While I connected the terminal to lab power supply, it started work. Thanks again.

Hi again, Craig. Do I need to purchase a power supply from NI? If Yes, can you direct me to a needed departmant?

We do have several industrial power supplies which will work with your controller. You can calculate the current draw you need by using the equation in the user manual for your controller found on pages 2-11 to 2-13. Based on this you can select whichever power supply is appropriate:

NI PS-15 5A, 24 VDC

NI PS-16 10A, 24 VDC

NI PS-17 20A, 24 VDC

NI PS-1 through PS-5 Legacy DC Supplies 

While we recommend using these the [c]FP systems will work with any typical power supply that provides an output within the specifications of 12-30 VDC and sufficient current.
