Compact FieldPoint LabVIEW Real-Time Controllers with Ethernet
Communication
Compact FieldPoint
Real-Time Controller
A cFP-21xx controller connects directly to your network through the
built-in Ethernet port. The Ethernet port serves as a high-speed link for
downloading application code, performing run-time debugging and
probing, and transmitting control and indicator values with a GUI running
on a networked PC. You also can use the Ethernet port for programmatic
network communication using standard protocols such as TCP, UDP, FTP,
HTTP, and DataSocket. Once deployed, the controller can communicate with
any Ethernet-enabled device on the network. In addition, a cFP-21xx
can communicate with a Windows computer running LabVIEW or any
third-party HMI/SCADA software compatible with OPC. By using LabVIEW
libraries and industrial gateways, you can add a Compact FieldPoint bank
to any existing setup and communicate with industrial devices through
standard communication protocols such as Modbus TCP and PROFIBUS.

Embedded Data Logging
The cFP-2120 features 128 MB of nonvolatile removable CompactFlash
storage for data logging or additional storage capacity. You can store the
data in standard format, including CSV and XML. Once you store the data,
you can easily transfer it to a PC using the embedded FTP server on the
cFP-21xx. LabVIEW Real-Time expands the functionality beyond the
typical data logger because you can make additional calculations and
decisions to eliminate logging unneeded data and to perform onboard
real-time calculations. Compact FieldPoint combines data logging, data
reduction, control algorithms, a Web-based human machine interface
(HMI), and the ability to communicate with other nodes on the network.
cFP-21xx controllers have up to three RS232 serial ports and one RS485
port (cFP-2120) to communicate programmatically with other serial
devices such as remote FieldPoint banks, LCD display/keypad units, bar
code readers, or phone and radio modems.
Power Supply Backup and Regulation
cFP-21xx controllers require an 11 to 30 VDC power supply. An extra set of
screw terminals is available on the network controllers for a backup UPS
or battery. The controller filters and regulates the power input,
redistributing power to all the I/O modules in the node through the
backplane bus. Refer to Ordering Information for suitable power supplies.
