Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system power is disconnected before installing or removing the OEI-Board to prevent electrical damage.
• Handle the module using ESD-safe practices to protect internal circuitry from electrostatic discharge.
• Verify that the supply voltage is within the specified 24V DC (-15%/+20%) range before powering on.
• Ensure proper seating of the module in the rack to maintain secure electrical contact and thermal dissipation.
• Route optical and electrical cables away from high-EMI sources, such as power cables or heavy-duty motors, to maintain signal integrity.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 3BHE006373R0101 OEI-Board?

This board serves as an Optical Ethernet Interface (OEI) module, allowing ABB Advant OCS and 800xA systems to communicate over both fiber-optic and copper Ethernet media.

Is this module compatible with standard Ethernet switches?

Yes, the 10/100BASE-TX port is compatible with standard industrial Ethernet switches, while the 100BASE-FX ports require compatible fiber-optic transceivers or switches supporting 1300nm wavelength.
