Chapter 3 Control Component Definition and Maintenance
Each OIB board also has input RX7 for a signal from a temperature feedback 
board. The quantity and location of thermistor connections is dependent on 
the drive configuration. Typically, there is one temperature sensor from the line 
converter and one temperature sensor from the machine converter, each going 
into the respective OIB board in the ‘A’ position. However, some drive 
configurations only require one thermistor feedback connection. The 
temperature feedback connection on OIBC is not implemented on the OIBB 
and is never used. For more information, see the drawings supplied with your 
drive. The alarm and trip set points for each of these signals are programmable 
in software.
There are three LEDs on the OIB. Table 15
 illustrates the status and 
description for the LED states.
Replacing the Optical Interface Board 
1. Isolate and lock out all power to the drive.
2. Mark the location and orientation of all the fiber optic cables. Use the 
electrical drawing for reference.
3. Ground your static strap, and disconnect all of the connections. You may 
need to remove the 60 core cable connectors on the Optical interface 
base and the ground connection for access to the standoffs
4. Remove the OIB board from the OIBB. There are four standoffs that 
snap into place on the OIB, and they need to be carefully handled when 
disconnecting the boards. There is also the 28-pin connection between 
the boards, and this connection should be handled carefully as you do 
not want to bend the pins.
5. Install the new OIB on the OIBB. Ensure the standoffs snap into place.
6. Reconnect all fiber optic connections and verify the locations.
7. Apply low voltage power and complete gating, system, and medium 
voltage tests to confirm board performance.
Table 15 - Color Explanation for OIB LEDs
LED Status Description
D1 Red – On Run – The OIB has received an enable signal. The drive control software is in control 
of all gating. 
D2 Yellow – On Ready – The OIB power supply is sufficient for proper operation.
D3 Green – On Power – The OIB has received a voltage signal greater than 2V.
IMPORTANT If the drive is equipped with the Safe Torque Off option, the drive will use 
OIB2 boards. See publication 7000-UM203
 to replace the OIB2 boards.
