Description

FP-TB-1: Product Overview
The National Instruments FP-TB-1 is a screw terminal block designed for the FieldPoint distributed I/O system. This component serves as the physical interface between field wiring and FieldPoint I/O modules, providing secure screw terminal connections for field devices such as sensors, actuators, and transducers. The terminal block mounts directly to a FieldPoint I/O module, creating a complete field-wirable assembly that can be installed in industrial locations.
The terminal block features a removable connector that allows for easy wiring and module replacement without disturbing field connections. Each terminal accepts wire sizes up to 12 AWG, and the block includes clearly labeled terminals for easy identification during installation and maintenance. The design provides strain relief for field wiring and ensures reliable connections in industrial environments with vibration and temperature variations.

Core Features & Customer Value
The primary value of the FP-TB-1 terminal block is its ability to simplify field wiring and maintenance​ in distributed I/O systems. The removable connector design allows technicians to wire the terminal block separately from the electronic module, then snap the pre-wired assembly together during installation. This reduces installation time and minimizes wiring errors in complex control systems.
The high-density terminal arrangement​ conserves panel space while maintaining accessibility for wiring and troubleshooting. The wide operating temperature range​ ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, from factory floors to outdoor installations. The clearly labeled terminals​ and color-coded markings​ help prevent wiring mistakes during installation and maintenance operations.
Typical Applications
  • •
    Factory Automation:​ Connecting sensors and actuators to FieldPoint I/O systems in manufacturing environments
  • •
    Process Control:​ Wiring temperature sensors, pressure transmitters, and control valves in industrial processes
  • •
    Building Automation:​ Connecting environmental sensors and control devices in HVAC systems
  • •
    Machine Control:​ Interfacing limit switches, photoeyes, and motor starters with control systems
