needs. Select one or a combination of the methods to power the signals of each of your I/O modules: The signals of the I/O module are powered by an FP-PS-4 that is connected to only that I/O module. The signals of the I/O module share an FP-PS-4 with a neighboring I/O module or network module. This is called cascading power. Caution Cascading power from neighboring bases or network modules defeats isolation between cascaded modules. Figure 6 shows a combination of the two ways to power the F

Ensure that all the wiring is installed according to local codes and regulations by qualified electrical personnel. Follow these steps to connect the FP-PS-4 to your FieldPoint system. 1. Use a 16 to 26 AWG stranded wire to connect the FP-PS-4 to your FieldPoint network module or I/O module. Connect the positive wire to the V terminal and the negative wire to the C terminal of the FP-PS-4. 2. Connect the other ends of the wires to the V and C terminals of the FieldPoint network module or I/O mod
