High Shock and Vibration

To withstand high levels of shock and vibration, Compact FieldPoint

backplanes are made of extruded metal and provide a rigid mounting

surface for Compact FieldPoint modules. The backplane also offers

screw-down connections for the controller module, I/O modules, and

connector blocks.

Mounting

NI offers four mounting options for Compact FieldPoint backplanes

including panel mounting, DIN-rail mounting, and 19 in. rack mounting.

Compact FieldPoint System Configuration

Compact FieldPoint I/O modules mount on either the cFP-BP-4 or

cFP-BP-8 backplane. The backplane also contains a controller module,

which runs embedded LabVIEW Real-Time and can connect over

Ethernet to a PC, to other FieldPoint banks, to Web browsers, or to other

Ethernet devices. The Compact FieldPoint backplane also provides a

37-pin D-Sub connector to connect your field signal wiring for each I/O

module. You have three options to connect field wiring to this 37-pin

D-Sub connector:

1. Using an integrated connector block such as the cFP-CB-1

or cFP-CB-11

2. Using a cable to an external connector block mounted on a DIN rail

3. Making your own custom cable
