Wiring the [c]FP-DO-403

The FP-TB-x terminal base has connections for each FP-DO-403 output channel and for an external supply to power field devices.

The cFP-CB-x connector block provides the same connections for the cFP-DO-403.

Each channel has one output terminal, V

OUT

. The output channels share eight V

SUP

terminals and eight COM terminals. All of the channels are referenced to the COM terminals. The V and V

SUP terminals are all internally connected, as are the C and COM terminals.

Use a 5–30 VDC external power supply for the output channels.

The power supply must provide enough current to power all of the

© National Instruments Corp. 3 [c]FP-DO-403

loads on the output channels, up to 2 A per channel.

1 Connect the external power supply to multiple V and V

SUP

terminals and to multiple C and COM terminals as needed to ensure that the maximum current through any terminal is 2 A or less.

Install a 2 A maximum, fast-acting fuse (F2A 250V) between the external power supply and the V

SUP

terminal on each channel.

Install a 2 A maximum, fast-acting fuse suitable for the load at the

V

OUT

terminal. Figure 3 shows fuses where appropriate.

Table 1 lists the terminal assignments for the signals associated

with each channel. Terminal assignments and wiring diagrams are also listed on the side panel of the cFP-DO-403 and under the slide-in card on the front of the FP-DO-403 module.

Digital Output Circuit

The [c]FP-DO-403 digital output channels are optically isolated from the rest of the FieldPoint bank. In the ON state, a transistor is turned on between the V

OUT

terminal and the external supply (the

C and COM terminals). In the OFF state, this transistor is turned off, allowing only a small leakage current to flow. The V

OUT terminal sinks current from external devices. Sinking current means the V

OUT

terminal provides a path to the supply common.

Ensure that no channel sinks more than 2 A, and that the total current supplied by all channels at any time is no more than 16 A 2 .

To determine whether the total current is within the limit, square the current on each channel and add the squares together. If the sum of all the squares is less than or equal to 16 A 2 , the total current is within the limit. In the following example, three channels sink 2 A and four channels sink 1 A each:

(2 A) 2 + (2 A) 2 + (2 A) 2 + (1 A) 2

+ (1 A) 2 + (1 A) 2 + (1 A) 2 ≤ 16 A 2

Caution The outputs must not be short-circuited to the potential of the V or V

SUP

terminals (the positive voltage of the external supply). Short circuits damage the

[c]FP-DO-403 output channels. Check all wiring carefully before applying power.

In the ON state, there is an effective resistance of 0.12

Ω between the output (V

OUT

) and the supply voltage (the C and COM terminals). This resistance causes a voltage drop between the external supply voltage and the output voltage. For example, if the external supply voltage is 5 V and the output current is 1 A, the output voltage is 4.88 V:

5 V – 1 A

× 0.12 Ω = 4.88 V

Protection for Inductive Loads

When an inductive load, such as a motor or relay, is connected to an output, a large counter-electromotive force may occur at switching time because of the energy stored in the inductive load.

This flyback voltage can damage the outputs and the power supply.

It is best to limit such flyback voltages at the inductive load by installing a flyback diode across the load. Typically, you should

[c]FP-DO-403 6 ni.com

mount the flyback diode within 18 in. of the load. Figure 5 shows

a flyback diode connected to an inductive load.

Flyback Diode

Figure 5. Connection to Inductive Load with Flyback Diode

Although the [c]FP-DO-403 contains flyback diodes to prevent excessively high voltage from damaging the module, National

Instruments recommends the use of an external protection circuit across any inductive load.

Status Indicators

The [c]FP-DO-403 has two green status LEDs, POWER and

READY. After you insert the FP-DO-403 into a terminal base or the cFP-DO-403 into a backplane and apply power to the connected network module, the green POWER indicator lights and the [c]FP-DO-403 informs the network module of its presence.

When the network module recognizes the [c]FP-DO-403, it sends initial configuration information to the [c]FP-DO-403. After the module receives this initial information, the green READY indicator lights and the [c]FP-DO-403 is in normal operating mode.

In addition to the green POWER and READY indicators, each channel has a numbered, green output state indicator, which lights when the channel is in the ON state.

Isolation and Safety Guidelines

Caution Read the following information before attempting to connect the [c]FP-DO-403 to any circuits that may contain hazardous voltages.

This section describes the isolation of the [c]FP-DO-403 and its compliance with international safety standards. The field wiring connections are isolated from the backplane and the inter-module communication bus. The isolation barriers in the module provide

© National Instruments Corp. 7 [c]FP-DO-403

250 V rms

Measurement Category II continuous isolation, verified by 2,300 V rms

, 5 s dielectric withstand test. The [c]FP-DO-403 provides double insulation (compliant with IEC 61010-1) for working voltages of 250 V rms

1 . Safety standards (such as those published by UL and IEC) require the use of double insulation between hazardous voltages and any human-accessible parts or circuits.

Never try to use any isolation product between human-accessible parts (such as DIN rails or monitoring stations) and circuits that can be at hazardous potentials under normal conditions, unless the product is specifically designed for such an application, as is the

[c]FP-DO-403.

Even though the [c]FP-DO-403 is designed to handle applications with hazardous potentials, follow these guidelines to ensure a safe total system:

• There is no isolation between channels on the [c]FP-DO-403.

If a hazardous voltage is present on any channel, all channels are considered hazardous. Make sure that all other devices and circuits connected to the module are properly insulated from human contact.

• Do not share the external supply voltages (the V and C terminals) with other devices (including other FieldPoint devices), unless those devices are isolated from human contact.

• For Compact FieldPoint, you must connect the protective earth

(PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-x backplane to the system safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal has the following symbol stamped beside it: . Connect the backplane PE ground terminal to the system safety ground using 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire with a ring lug. Use the 5/16 in. panhead screw shipped with the backplane to secure the ring lug to the backplane PE ground terminal.

• As with any hazardous voltage wiring, make sure that all wiring and connections meet applicable electrical codes and commonsense practices. Mount terminal bases and backplanes in an area, position, or cabinet that prevents accidental or unauthorized access to wiring that carries hazardous voltages.

1 Working voltage is defined as the signal voltage plus the common-mode voltage.

Common-mode voltage is the voltage of the module with respect to ground.

[c]FP-DO-403 8 ni.com

• Do not use the [c]FP-DO-403 as the only isolating barrier between human contact and working voltages higher than

250 V rms

.

• Operate the [c]FP-DO-403 only at or below Pollution

Degree 2. Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive pollution occurs in most cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

• Operate the [c]FP-DO-403 at or below Measurement

Category II. Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation. This category refers to local-level distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The [c]FP-DO-403 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups

A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC

T4 and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the

[c]FP-DO-403 in a potentially explosive environment. Failing to follow these guidelines may result in serious injury or death.

Caution Make sure that all products you use in hazardous locations are certified for such use. Refer to the product label or visit ni.com/certification , search by model number or product line, and click the appropriate link in the Certification column.

Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or connectors unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

Caution For Zone 2 applications, install the FieldPoint system in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by IEC 60529 and EN 60529.

© National Instruments Corp. 9 [c]FP-DO-403

Caution For Zone 2 applications, install a protection device across the external power supply and the COM terminal. The device must prevent the external power supply voltage from exceeding 42 V if there is a transient overvoltage condition.
