The graphical representation of the card shows the animated displays and indicators of the board. The 7-segment display shows the actual board number whereas the LEDs indicate the actual status of the connections.
The displays and their meaning are summarized in the table below:
FO input status display
|
LED |
Status |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Run (green) |
blinking OFF |
Power is on and the channel is functioning properly. Controller stopped (hardware failure) |
|
Slow link (yellow) |
ON blinking OFF |
Receiving messages on this channel with 2 Mbit/s, 3.3 Mbit/s or 5 Mbit/s, link correctly configured. Receiving messages on this channel with 2 Mbit/s, 3.3 Mbit/s or 5 Mbit/s, yet connection was configured for another protocol. No 2 Mbit/s, 3.3 Mbit/s or 5 Mbit/s messages found. Fiber optics not connected? |
|
Fast link (white) |
ON blinking OFF |
Receiving messages on this channel with 32 Mbit/s, connection is configured correctly for 32 Mbit/s. Receiving messages on this channel with 32 Mbit/s, yet link configured for another protocol. No 32 Mbit/s telegrams found. Fiber optics not connected? |
|
Error (red) |
ON blinking OFF |
Watchdog alarm output switch opened Running the "Golden FPGA Flash Rescue mode" Normal state |
7-segment display
The 7-segment display shows the following information:
-
Horizontal segment only: Card not initialized
-
Numbers 0 to 7: Board ID after board was initialized
-
The decimal point in the display indicates whether the board is configured to be:
-
An internal interrupt master (dot is on) or
-
An external interrupt master (dot is blinking) or
-
An interrupt slave (dot is off)
-
"Debug" LED
This multicolor LED on the board (upper right corner) is for debug and service purposes only.

red: |
Watchdog alarm or different error |
Connector for ibaFOB-4o
The ibaFOB-4o module can be connected to the "TX-OUT" or "TX-MIRROR" connector of an ibaFOB-...-D card and can thus fulfill different tasks.
-
TX-OUT: For use as an output module for output signals that ibaPDA or ibaLogic is to output to external devices (ibaPADU-8-O, ibaNet750-BM-D with output terminals, etc.)
-
TX-MIRROR: Used to mirror the FO input channels; the incoming FO data streams are output again on the hardware side, i.e., with no detour via the software, e.g., for parallel data supply of an ibaQDR system.
The graphic shows where an ibaFOB-4o module is connected via a green square.
