Overview and Distributed Applications

National Instruments cFP-180x interfaces connect four or eight

Compact FieldPoint I/O modules to a high-speed Ethernet network or to

an RS232 serial port. With up to 100 Mb/s data communication rates and

event-driven communications, an NI cFP-180x delivers a high-performance

network connection for Compact FieldPoint that is easy to interface with

a PC or PAC-like Compact FieldPoint embedded controller. One or more

cFP-180x interfaces, connected by standard networking equipment, provide

expanded I/O that you can control with a single Compact FieldPoint

controller, see Figure 1. You can also build a PC-based distributed I/O and

control system by connecting two or more cFP-180x devices to your PC.

Hardware Architecture

A cFP-180x provides an integrated network interface (Ethernet or serial)

and a 4 or 8-slot backplane, and it works with the same modules and

connector blocks used in other Compact FieldPoint systems.

Building Ethernet-Based

Distributed I/O Systems

A cFP-180x can communicate with Compact FieldPoint real-time

embedded controllers; any Ethernet-based programmable automation

controller (PAC); and a Windows computer running LabVIEW,

LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Lookout, or your choice of OPC

client application software. Using a cFP-180x, you can rapidly build

flexible, modular distributed measurement and automation systems.
