The SAFT163IOC is cataloged as ABB spare part 58096067. It is identified as a PC I/O Connection Board designed for interface connection functions within ABB industrial control hardware configurations. No internal suffix breakdown is defined from the available technical documentation.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control Interface Characteristics

ABB SAFT163IOC belongs to the industrial control hardware category where I/O density scaling and backplane bus communication velocity management are considered during system design. The board provides a physical connection point for I/O-related signal routing and maintains the required electrical interface between controller components and connected modules.

For ABB controller environments, firmware flash compatibility and hardware revision matching should be verified before replacement. The installed board version must correspond with the existing controller configuration to maintain correct communication behavior.
