 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AND SPECIFICATIONS

FP-DO-403 and cFP-DO-403

16-Channel, 5 to 30 V Sinking Digital Output Module

These operating instructions describe how to install and use the 
National Instruments FP-DO-403 and cFP-DO-403 digital output 
modules, referred to inclusively as the [c]FP-DO-403. For 
information about configuring and accessing the [c]FP-DO-403 
over a network, refer to the user manual for the FieldPoint network 
module you are using.

Features

The [c]FP-DO-403 is a FieldPoint digital output module with the 
following features:

16 sinking digital output channels

Outputs that sink 2 A per channel, 16 A

2

 per module

Compatible with voltages from 5 to 30 VDC

250 V

rms 

CAT II continuous channel-to-ground isolation, 

verified by 2,300 V

rms

, 5 s dielectric withstand test

–40 to 70 °C operation

ON/OFF LED indicators

Hot swappable

Installing the FP-DO-403

The FP-DO-403 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-

x

), 

which provides operating power to the module. Installing the 
FP-DO-403 onto a powered terminal base does not disrupt the 
operation of the bank.

To install the FP-DO-403, refer to Figure 1 and complete the 
following steps:

1. Slide the terminal base key to either position X, used for any 

module, or position 6, used for the FP-DO-403 module.
