DIP Switches
The following figure shows the DIP switches on the front of the FP-20xx.
Switches 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are user-configurable DIP switches. FieldPoint
LabVIEW VIs, CVI, OPC, Lookout, and other applications can read these
switches, but the switches have no default functionality.
The DISABLE VI, SAFE MODE, and RESET DIP switches are read only
when you power up or reboot the FP-20xx network module. You must
reboot the module with one of these switches ON for its setting to take
effect. If you reboot the system with more than one of these switches ON,
only the left-most switch is read, and the others are ignored.
DISABLE VI Switch
The position of the DISABLE VI switch determines whether any VIs run
at startup. You can instruct the FP-20xx network module to run a VI when
it starts up, but if this VI consumes all of the FP-20xx CPU for any reason,
it can make the module inaccessible on the network. If you reboot the
FP-20xx with the DISABLE VI switch in the ON position, the module does
not run any VIs at startup unless you have enabled them through
LabVIEW RT.
