FieldPoint Operating Instructions
CFP-RLY-421
Eight-Channel SPST Relay Module
These operating instructions describe how to install and use the
National Instruments cFP-RLY-421 relay module. For details on
configuring and accessing the cFP-RLY-421 over a network, refer
to the user manual for the FieldPoint network module you are
using.
Features
The cFP-RLY-421 is a Compact FieldPoint relay output module
with the following features:
• Eight single-pole single-throw (SPST) relay channels
Swi

Before you configure a FieldPoint system that uses a cFP-RLY-421 module, calculate the total power consumption of the I/O modules on the FieldPoint bank. You can find the power requirement specification in the operating instructions for each I/O module. The maximum power the network module can supply is specified in the network module user manual. Make sure the total power requirement for all of the I/O modules in the bank is less than the maximum power available from the network module.

In addition, the cFP-RLY-421 has internal protection MOVs to prevent excessively high voltage from being applied across the contacts. The MOVs are located between the NO and IC contacts of each relay. However, National Instruments still recommends the use of a protection circuit across an inductive load. The flyback protection causes a small leakage current, which is detailed in the Specifications section. Guidelines for Selecting Contact 1 Protection Circuits Proper selection is critical

Diode Circuit Diagram Notes Use in DC applications only. Compared to RC type, circuit delays release time (2 to 5 times values stated in catalog). For larger voltages, use diode with reverse breakdown 10 times circuit voltage and forward load circuit. Load For smaller voltages, use reverse breakdown voltage of 2 to 3 times power supply voltage. CR Circuits Diagram Notes Circuit A is suitable for AC or DC applications, but if used with AC voltage, impedance of the load should be smalle

In-Rush Current The type of load and its in-rush current characteristics, together with switching frequency, can cause contact welding. For loads with in-rush current, measure the steady state current and in-rush current to determine the proper relay. Some typical types of loads and the in-rush current they create are summarized in the following chart. Type of Load In-Rush Current Resistive load Steady-state current Solenoid load 10 to 20 times the steady-state current Motor load 5 to 10 ti

Upgrading the FieldPoint Firmware You may need to upgrade the FieldPoint firmware when you add new I/O modules to the FieldPoint system. For information on determining which firmware you need and how to upgrade the firmware, go to ni.com/info and enter fpmatrix. Isolation and Safety Guidelines Caution Read the following information before attempting to connect the cFP-RLY-421 to any circuits that may contain hazardous voltages. This section describes the isolation of the cFP-RLY-421 and its

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. 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
