The NP 700 is a full size (maximum of 7 meters long), high-performance platform for small-to-medium size paper machines with up to 5.3 meters (208 inches) of trim. The platform can carry up to seven sensors at a  25 pass angle (optionally at a  45 pass angle). It has on-board electronics for local sensor and platform signal processing. This chapter discusses the Network Platform hardware.

On the edge of the 3BUS208796-00 are sixteen (16) LEDs in three (3) groups. Top group DH1, ..., DH4 indicating DC power switching. Middle group AH1, ..., AH10 indicating AC power switching. Bottom group PWM1, PWM2 indicating DC high speed pulse width modulation. The status of the the LED indicates whether the switching circuit is commanded closed (ON) or commanded open (OFF).
