This chapter describes how to install device description files, mount your 
FieldPoint FP-3000 network module, connect the terminal bases, connect 
power to the network module, and connect the FP-3000 to a Fieldbus 
network.

The Device Description file (DD) contains a list of the types of function 
blocks and parameters supported by the FP-3000, along with online help 
describing the uses of given parameters. Before you can use the FP-3000 
with NI-FBUS (or other host software), you must install the device 
description file (shipped with the device) on the host computer or 
computers. After the DD file for the FP-3000 network module is initially 
installed, the DD works for all FP-3000s on the Fieldbus connected to the 
computer on which the DD has been installed. To install the DD for use 
with NI-FBUS, complete the following steps:

This process is correct for use with National Instruments NI-FBUS. The process can 

vary with other host software packages.

1.

Install your Fieldbus interface and NI-FBUS software, if you have not 
done so already.

2.

Insert the Device Description diskette (shipped with the FP-3000) into 
the disk drive of the host computer.

3.

Select Start»Programs»NI-FBUS»Interface Config. The following 
dialog box appears.
