The ABB 1SFB536171A1106 is a PSTX Softstarter Drive Board used within ABB PSTX softstarter assemblies. It belongs to the internal drive circuitry that links the softstarter control electronics with the power-control section responsible for regulating electrical power delivered to the motor.
During operation, the drive board processes the drive-side signals required by the PSTX power section. Its operation is coordinated with the main control electronics so that the power-switching devices respond to the configured motor-starting and stopping commands.
The board is relevant to industrial motor applications where controlled acceleration and stopping are required. PSTX softstarters are commonly used for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, water-treatment equipment, and other motor-driven machinery.
For service engineers, the drive board should be considered together with the PSTX control board, power section, internal connectors, protection circuitry, and motor circuit. A fault in any associated component can affect the switching response of the complete softstarter.

The 1SFB536171A1106 operates in the drive-control path of the PSTX softstarter. The main control electronics generate operating commands according to the configured starting or stopping sequence, while the drive board transfers the corresponding drive-side signals toward the power-control circuitry.
During motor starting, the drive board supports the controlled activation of the power section. This allows the PSTX softstarter to regulate how electrical power is applied to the motor, reducing the abrupt electrical and mechanical effects associated with direct starting.
When a controlled stopping function is configured, the drive circuitry continues to support the required switching sequence until the motor reaches the intended stopping condition.
PSTX Control Electronics → 1SFB536171A1106 Drive Board → PSTX Power Section → Motor
The drive board does not independently execute the complete softstarter strategy. Its operation depends on the control electronics, power section, protection functions, and internal connections operating correctly.
The 1SFB536171A1106 forms part of the internal drive layer of the PSTX softstarter. It connects control-side processing with the power-control section that regulates motor power during the starting and stopping sequence.

It functions as an internal drive-board component, transferring the required drive-side signals between the PSTX control electronics and the associated power-control section.
Yes. If the drive path cannot deliver the required signals to the power section, the softstarter may receive a valid start command but fail to produce the expected power-switching response.
Check the control command, PSTX status and diagnostics, internal connectors, control board, power section, protection conditions, and motor circuit. These checks help distinguish a drive-board fault from a problem elsewhere in the softstarter.
Verify the board installation and internal connections first. Then check initialization, diagnostics, external commands, protection functions, and power-section response before performing a controlled motor-start and stopping test.
