Problem:
Is my FieldPoint controller poll-driven or event-driven and what does this mean?

Solution:
With polled I/O, the PC client must continually request data from the I/O device, regardless of whether the data has changed. In event-driven I/O, data is sent to the PC only when it changes. Polled I/O uses significant amounts of network bandwidth and processor time compared to event-driven I/O.

Poll-Driven Controllers
- FP-1000
- FP-1001
- [c]FP-20xx
- cFP-21xx
- cFP-22xx
- FP-1300 - can operate as both

Event Driven Controllers
- FP-1600
- FP-1601
- cFP-18xx
- FP-20xx - working as an FP-1600
- FP-1300 - can operate as both
