Compact FieldPoint is designed for industrial control applications that perform advanced embedded control, data logging, headless operation, and Ethernet connectivity. Compact FieldPoint, the most rugged and reliable NI platform, is designed for industrial and mobile environments with high shock, high vibration, and temperature extremes. FieldPoint is a lowercost distributed I/O system with a variety of communication options besides Ethernet. It is designed to mount on DIN rails in static applications where the FieldPoint bank is connected to a PC for data collection, analysis, display, and storage. Overview National Instruments offers two backplanes for mounting Compact FieldPoint modules – the cFP-BP-4 (4 slots) and the cFP-BP-8 (8 slots). Both backplanes, which are constructed of extruded metal with grounding lugs on the bottom, feature screw-down connections for a controller module, four or eight I/O modules, and 37-pin D-Sub connectors for I/O connections. The backplanes come with a cFP-PM-H horizontal mounting bracket, which provides mounting holes on either side of the backplane so you can mount it to a panel. For other mounting options, you can purchase a vertical panel mount, a DIN-rail mount, or a 19 in. rack mount separately. 4 slots = 246 mm (9.68 in.) 8 slots = 441 mm (17.4 in.)

Dimensions of the Compact FieldPoint Systems with the cFP-BP-4 and cFP-BP-8 Backplanes Compact FieldPoint Backplanes 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. 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 Mounting NI offers four mounting options for Compact FieldPoint backplanes including panel mounting, DIN-rail mounting, and 19 in. rack mounting.
