Product Introduction
The ABB SAFT167APC 58096707 Power Connection Board is a precision-engineered power interface component designed to enable safe, reliable, and efficient distribution of electrical power within ABB’s industrial automation and control systems. As a critical part of the Symphony Plus and Advant Master Distributed Control Systems (DCS), this board acts as the primary interface for power input/output interconnection, routing supply voltages to various processing and I/O modules.
This board is not a power converter or supply in itself, but it ensures proper voltage handling, electrical isolation, and structured distribution, especially within modular systems requiring highly organized electrical layouts. It provides terminal points, voltage bus interfaces, and built-in diagnostics support for status indication, fault tracking, and connection integrity monitoring.
The SAFT167APC is deployed in a wide range of mission-critical environments, such as power stations, petrochemical plants, and heavy industries, where electrical reliability and modular expandability are paramount.
