Mounting the Compact FieldPoint Backplane
You can mount the cFP-BP-x backplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel,
or in a standard 19 in. rack. NI recommends DIN rail mounting for the
cFP-BP-4 only. Use panel mounting or rack mounting for the cFP-BP-8.
Use the panel mounting method for high shock and vibration applications.
Before using any mounting method, record the serial number from the back
of the backplane. You will be unable to read the serial number after you
have mounted the backplane.
Each set of mounting instructions in this document includes an instruction
to connect the protective earth (PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-x
backplane to the system safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal

cFP-2200/2210/2220

has the following symbol stamped beside it: . Connect the backplane PE
ground terminal to 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.
To ensure maximum cooling efficiency, mount the Compact FieldPoint so
that the I/O module vents are at the top and bottom, as shown in the
following figure:

Connecting the cFP-22xx to a Network
Connect the cFP-22xx to an Ethernet network using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1
on the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better
Ethernet cable to connect the controller to an Ethernet hub, or use an
Ethernet crossover cable to connect the controller directly to a computer.
To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,
do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using 100 Mbps Ethernet, National
Instruments recommends using a CAT-5 or better shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
Caution

If you need to build your own cable, refer to the Cabling section for more
information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.
The host computer communicates with the controller over a standard
Ethernet connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must
configure the controller on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither
the host computer nor the controller is connected to a network, you can
connect the two directly using a crossover cable.
If you want to use the controller on a subnet other than the one the host
computer is on, first connect the controller on the same subnet as the host
computer. Use DHCP to assign an IP address or reassign a static IP address
for the subnet where you want to use the controller and physically move it
to the other subnet. The first time you configure the controller, you may
also have to install software on it. Refer to the Measurement & Automation
Explorer Help for more information about installing software on and
configuring the controller in Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX). Contact your network administrator if you need assistance
configuring the host computer and controller on the same subnet.

Using Ethernet Port 2 to Connect the cFP-2220
to Other FieldPoint Systems on the Network
You can use Ethernet port 2 to connect the cFP-2220 to another system on
a private network. You must first configure the second system with a static
IP address in MAX. For information about using Ethernet port 2, go to
ni.com/info and enter the infocode dualenet.

cFP-2200/2210/2220

Wiring Power to the cFP-22xx
The cFP-22xx requires an external power supply that meets the
specifications in the Power Requirements section. The cFP-22xx filters and
regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of the I/O modules.
You must connect a power supply to at least one pair of V and C terminals.
Optionally, you can connect a power supply to the other pair of V and
C terminals. The controller draws power from the power supply with the
higher voltage. The controller has one layer of reverse-voltage protection.
In order to comply with standards and laws governing electromagnetic emissions
and compatibility, you must install the ferrite shipped with the controller. If you decide to
connect an optional second power supply, you must install a second, similar ferrite. You
can order the ferrite from ni.com. The ferrite is NI part number 711849-01.

Caution

Complete the following steps to connect power supplies to the controller.
1.

Install the ferrite 2–3 in. from the ends of the power wires. Wrap the
wires around one side of the ferrite so that they pass through the ferrite
twice, as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22. Wrapping the Power Wires around the Ferrite

Figure 23. Closed Ferrite

cFP-2200/2210/2220

ni.com

Install a tie wrap or other device on the power wires to secure the ferrite
in place near the controller power connector, as shown in Figure 24.

Figure 24. Ferrite Installed with Tie Wrap

Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V1 terminal of the
COMBICON connector shipped with the cFP-22xx.

Connect the negative lead of the power supply to one of the C terminals
of the COMBICON connector.

Optionally, connect the positive lead of another power supply to the
V2 terminal and the negative lead to one of the C terminals of the
COMBICON connector.

Install the COMBICON connector on the front panel of the cFP-22xx.

The controller draws power from either V1 or V2 depending on which terminal has
a higher voltage. It does not draw power from both terminals. The controller switches
between V1 and V2 without affecting operation. If the output voltages of the two power
supplies are within 0.1–0.6 V of each other, the cFP-22xx can use either supply.

Note

cFP-2200/2210/2220

The controller indicates which terminal it is using on the channel called Power
Source in software. A value of 0 indicates V2, and a value of 1 indicates V1. This behavior
is different from that of older Compact FieldPoint controllers. If your application uses
input from the Power Source channel, you must change your application to reflect the
change in channel behavior. You can either make the change in software or connect the
primary power supply to V2 and a backup power supply to V1.

Note

Caution The C terminals are internally connected to each other. If you use two power
supplies, make sure that they share a common ground.
Caution The C terminals are internally connected to the controller chassis to prevent a
faulty ground connection from causing the chassis ground to float. If you reverse the input
voltage, the positive input voltage is connected directly to the chassis. The controller
has built-in reverse-voltage protection, but reversed voltage can damage connected
peripherals if the chassis ground is not reliably connected to earth ground.
Caution Do not tighten or loosen the terminal screws on the power connector while the
power connector is plugged into the controller or while the power supply is on.

Powering On the cFP-22xx
When you apply power to the cFP-22xx, the controller runs a power-on
self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on.
The Status LED turns off, indicating that the POST is complete. If the
LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to the
Understanding LED Indications section.
You can configure the cFP-22xx to launch an embedded stand-alone
LabVIEW RT application each time you boot the controller. Refer to the
Running a Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the
LabVIEW Help for more information.

Connecting Serial Devices to the cFP-22xx
You can connect devices such as displays or input devices to the serial ports
of the cFP-22xx. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial ports
from a LabVIEW RT application. If your application is not embedded on
the controller, you must target the cFP-22xx to access the serial ports. Refer
to the LabVIEW Help for information about the Serial VIs and about
targeting the cFP-22xx. Refer to Figure 1 for the locations of the serial
ports.

Figure 27. Wiring for an RS-485 Network Controlled by the cFP-2220

COM 4 is designed to operate in four-wire mode as shown in Figure 27.
You can use COM 4 in two-wire mode, but you must design your
application so that it filters out the writes that echo back over the read
channels. NI does not recommend this method.
NI offers a DIN rail–mountable screw terminal adapter that you can use
to connect termination resistors to COM 4. The adapter is part number
778674-01.
Cable adapters for the 10-position modular jacks are available from NI.
Part numbers 182845-01, -02, and -03 are 1, 2, and 3 m cable adapters for
connecting the 10-position modular jack to a 9-position D-SUB plug.

External Digital Inputs and Outputs (cFP 2220 Only)
The cFP-2220 has two digital inputs and two digital outputs that you can
use to connect a simple operator interface to the controller. Refer to
Figure 1 for the location of the input and output terminals. The inputs and
outputs appear in software as Input 1, Input 2, Output 1, and Output 2.
Logic high for the DIO ports is +5 V. Logic low is 0 V. The DIO ports are
not isolated and are not intended for field connections. Use them only for
simple VI controls and indicators.

cFP-2200/2210/2220

You can use the two digital inputs to control the cFP system from
LabVIEW. For example, one input could be a START/STOP switch, and
the other could determine which of two VIs should run at startup. NI
recommends connecting a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch between
the input terminal and one of the C terminals. The inputs have a value of 1
when the switch is closed and 0 when the switch is open.

The system clock of the cFP-22xx gets the date and time from the internal
high-precision real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides
timestamp data to the controller. You can also use the internal real-time
clock to correct drift of the system clock. Please contact National
Instruments for more information.

Figure 29. DIP Switches

All of the DIP switches are in the OFF position when the controller is
shipped from National Instruments.

IP RESET Switch
Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the controller to
reset the IP address to 0.0.0.0. If the controller is on your local subnet and
the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the controller appears in MAX
with IP address 0.0.0.0. You can configure a new IP address for the
controller in MAX. Refer to the Resetting the Network Configuration of the
cFP-22xx section for more information about resetting the IP address. You
also can push this switch to the ON position to unlock a controller that was
previously locked in MAX.

SAFE MODE Switch
The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded
LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches at startup. If the switch is in the OFF
position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches. Keep this switch in the
OFF position during normal operation. If the switch is in the ON position
at startup, the cFP-22xx launches only the essential services required
for updating its configuration and installing software. The LabVIEW
Real-Time engine does not launch.
Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the
controller is corrupted. Even if the switch is not in the ON position, the
controller automatically boots into safe mode if there is no software
installed on it. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON position to
reformat the drive on the controller. Refer to the Measurement &
Automation Explorer Help for more about installing software and
reformatting the drive.

cFP-2200/2210/2220

NO APP Switch
Push the NO APP switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW RT
startup application from running at startup. If you want to permanently
disable a LabVIEW RT application from running at startup, you must
disable it in LabVIEW. To run an application at startup, push the NO APP
switch to the OFF position, create an application using the LabVIEW
Application Builder, and configure the application in LabVIEW to launch
at startup. If you already have an application configured to launch at startup
and you push the NO APP switch from ON to OFF, the startup application
is automatically enabled. For more information about automatically
launching VIs at startup and disabling VIs from launching at startup, refer
to the Running a Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of
the LabVIEW Help.

CONS OUT Switch
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the CONS OUT switch
to read the IP address and firmware version of the controller. Use a
null-modem cable to connect the serial port to a computer. Push the switch
to the ON position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal program is
configured to the following settings:
•

9,600 bits per second

•

Eight data bits

•

No parity

•

One stop bit

•

No flow control

The serial-port terminal program displays the IP address and firmware
version of the controller, and alerts you when you connect an unsupported
USB device to the cFP-2220. Keep this switch in the OFF position during
normal operation.

USER2 and USER1 Switches
You can define the USER2 and USER1 switches for your application.
To define the switches in an embedded application, use the RT Read
Switch VI in a LabVIEW RT embedded VI. You can use the FieldPoint
ReadVI to read defined switches in embedded or unembedded applications.
For more information about the RT Read Switch VI and the FieldPoint
Read VI, refer to the LabVIEW Help.

cycling power.

Understanding LED Indications

Figure 30. LEDs

STATUS LED
The STATUS LED is off during normal operation. The cFP-22xx indicates
specific error conditions by flashing the STATUS LED a certain number of
times as shown in Table 3.
Table 3. Status LED Indications

Number of Flashes

Indication

The controller is unconfigured. Refer to the Measurement & Automation
Explorer Help for information about configuring the controller in MAX.

The controller has detected an error in its software. This can occur
when an attempt to upgrade the software is interrupted. Refer to the
Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for information about
reinstalling software on the controller.

The controller is in safe mode. Refer to the Configuring DIP Switches
section for information about the Safe Mode DIP switch.

The software has crashed twice without rebooting or cycling power
between crashes. This usually occurs when the controller runs out of
memory. Review your RT VI and check the memory usage. Modify
the VI as necessary to solve the memory usage issue.

Solid

The controller has detected an unrecoverable error. Please contact
National Instruments.

cFP-2200/2210/2220

POWER LED
The POWER LED is lit while the cFP-22xx is powered on. This LED
indicates that the power supply connected to the controller is adequate. The
POWER LED lights green when the controller is using the primary power
supply and amber when the controller is using the secondary power supply.

User-Configurable LEDs
You can use the FieldPoint Write VI to write values to LEDs A, B, C, and
D. The LEDs can have any of three values: 0 is OFF, 1 is green, and 2 is
amber.

Removable CompactFlash (cFP-2220 Only)
You can use CompactFlash for removable data storage with the cFP-2220.
The controller takes Type I and Type II CompactFlash up to 512 MB. With
the power off, open the CompactFlash cover and plug a CompactFlash into
the slot, then power up the controller. You can access the removable
CompactFlash by using LabVIEW file I/O VIs running embedded on the
controller. To read from or write to the removable CompactFlash, point the
VI to the D: drive on the controller.
You must power down the controller before installing or removing a
CompactFlash. Removing the CompactFlash without powering down the controller can
cause data corruption. In order to get data from the CompactFlash while the controller is
operating, use an FTP client to download the data from the D: drive on the controller.

Caution

File Transfer Capability
When running on a cFP-22xx, the Real-Time Engine has a File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) server. The FTP server gives you the ability to use any
standard FTP utility for transferring files to and from the hard drive of the
cFP-22xx. You must provide the correct password when opening a
connection to the cFP-22xx if the configuration is locked in MAX.
For programmatic file transfer control in LabVIEW or LabVIEW
Real-Time, use the Internet Developers Toolkit, included in the LabVIEW
Enterprise Connectivity Toolset. Refer to ni.com for more information
about the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset.
Contact NI to determine whether the version of the toolkit you are using can be
downloaded onto the cFP-22xx.

Note

Remote Front Panels
You may need to monitor and control an embedded VI remotely. The
cFP-22xx supports multiple remote front panels for embedded VIs. Users
can view the remote front panel using either LabVIEW or a Web browser.
Users accessing the remote front panels with a Web browser need to have
either Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 or later, or Netscape 4.7 or later.
If you plan to use remote front panels to control the VI, keep the front panel
simple and do not use property nodes. Complex front panels can cause
slight control latency when users operate them remotely. Users cannot
programmatically change the value of a control remotely.

Resetting the Network Configuration of the cFP-22xx
If the cFP-22xx is not able to communicate with the network, you can use
the IP RESET switch to manually restore the controller to the factory
network settings. When you restore the controller to the factory network
settings, the IP address, subnet mask, DNS address, gateway, and Time
Server IP are set to 0.0.0.0. Power-on defaults, watchdog settings, and
VIs are unaffected.
Complete the following steps to reset the network configuration.
1.

Move the IP RESET DIP switch to the ON position.

Push the RESET button to cycle power to the controller. The STATUS
LED flashes once, indicating that the IP address is unconfigured.

Move the IP RESET switch to the OFF position.

The network settings are restored. You can reconfigure the settings in MAX
from a computer on the same subnet. Refer to the Measurement &
Automation Explorer Help for more information about configuring the
controller.
If the controller is restored to the factory network settings, the LabVIEW run-time
engine does not load. You must reconfigure the network settings and restart the controller
for the LabVIEW run-time engine to load.

Note

cFP-2200/2210/2220

Troubleshooting
This section contains troubleshooting instructions for the cFP-22xx and
FieldPoint software. For more troubleshooting information, refer to the
Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for FieldPoint and the
Measurement & Automation Explorer Remote Systems Help.

Runaway Startup Application
If a runaway startup application causes the cFP-22xx to become
unresponsive, you must power down the cFP-22xx, then reboot it with
either the NO APP switch or the SAFE MODE switch in the ON position.
Rebooting the controller with the NO APP switch ON prevents any VIs
from running at startup. Rebooting with the SAFE MODE switch ON starts
the cFP-22xx in safe mode, and the embedded LabVIEW Real-Time engine
is not launched. Refer to the Configuring DIP Switches section for more
information.

Other Indications of Trouble with the Controller
•

Amber status LED stays lit when controller is in normal mode

•

Cannot detect controller in MAX unless it is in safe mode

•

After you set the IP address, the controller reboots unconfigured or
with the old IP address

•

Green status LED error code greater than 3

•

Green status LED error code 2 during normal operation

•

Controller incorrectly reports that the disk is full

•

I/O module ready LEDs off in normal mode but on in safe mode

•

Unusual file or folder names when you FTP to the controller

First, use MAX to reinstall software on the controller. If that does not solve
the problem, you may have to reformat the internal memory of the
controller.

Reformatting the Internal Memory
1.

Reboot the controller into safe mode by moving the SAFE MODE DIP
switch to the ON position and cycling the power.

Open MAX and expand Remote Systems to find the FieldPoint bank.

Right-click the FieldPoint bank and select Format Disk.

After formatting, you must reconfigure network settings and reinstall
software. Remember to install LabVIEW Real-Time 8.5.1 or later on the
controller, because previous versions do not work with the controller.
