Searching for FieldPoint Devices on the Network

If a FieldPoint Ethernet network module is on the network and has an IP address, you can use the Add Targets and Devices dialog box to search for it and add it to your project. Complete the following steps:

  1. Right-click the project name in the project tree and select New»Targets and Devices.
  2. In the Add Targets and Devices dialog box that appears, Existing target or device should be selected by default. If it is not selected, select it now.
  3. Use the folder tree in the dialog box to find the FieldPoint bank with the I/O you want to add to your project. If the I/O is on a bank with a FieldPoint RT controller such as the cFP-21xx, look in the Real-Time FieldPoint folder. If the I/O is on a bank with a non-RT Ethernet network module such as the FP-1601 or cFP-180x, look in the FieldPoint Network Modules folder.
  4. When you find the bank with the I/O you want to add to your project, click OK.
