LabVIEW VI's for FP-AO-200

[Brian Copp]

I have an FP-AO-200 analog current output module. Does
anybody know where I could obtain a VI for this thing?

Thanks,

Hi,
you can obtain a vi
from ...Labview/Examples/FieldPoint/FieldPoint Analog Examle.vi

We have a doubt about the use of the FieldPoint FP-1000 module in network with the FP-AO-200,
we don't want to screw it, so please answer us, in the manual we have seen that we have to use
an external voltage supply, so our question is that we're going to use the channel 0 and 1 and
for that we need the terminals 17 and 19 connected, so do we connect those terminals between
themselves or each separated to the voltage output of the power supply of the module?

Hello Chandus,

The Vsup terminals are all connected to each other and to the V terminals. So if you are supplying a voltage using an external loop supply to the FP-AO-200, you will see that same voltage appearing on pins 17 and 19. Usually one connect this external loop supply to the V and the C of each module. The voltage from the external supply
determines the maximum load impedance that the FP-AO-200 can drive. With a 24 VDC loop supply, each output can drive up to 1 kΩ of load impedance. With a 5 VDC loop supply, each output can only drive up to 100 Ω.

Please let me know if I answered your questions. If I didn't, I would appreciate it if you can explain me better what are you trying to do, if you are sourcing current to a load, open loop detection, etc.

Thanks,

LA
