Introduction
The ABB REC670 (1MRK000008-NB) Cabin Control Display is a high-performance bay control and monitoring interface designed for use within ABB Relion® protection and control systems. It provides operators with a clear, real-time visualization and control platform for switchgear bays in substations, enabling safe, efficient, and highly coordinated power system operation.
As part of the REC670 architecture, this cabin display acts as the local human–machine interface (HMI), allowing direct access to switching operations, status indication, alarms, and event logs. It is widely deployed in modern digital substations where fast decision-making and reliable visualization are critical for grid stability.

Applications
The ABB REC670 cabin control display is used in high-voltage and medium-voltage power systems where precise bay-level control is required:
-
Electrical substations (transmission & distribution)
-
Switchgear control rooms (cabin control panels)
-
Power generation plants (auxiliary bay control)
-
Industrial power distribution systems
-
Renewable energy substations (wind & solar integration)
-
Grid automation and digital substation projects
It enables operators to safely control breakers, disconnectors, and interlocking systems directly from the local control cabin.
Advantages
The REC670 cabin control display is designed for high-reliability substation operation, ensuring operators have immediate access to critical switching and monitoring functions. Its integration with ABB Relion® protection relays allows unified control and protection logic across the entire bay system.
A major strength is its IEC 61850-based communication capability, enabling seamless interoperability with modern digital substations and SCADA systems. This ensures fast data exchange, real-time monitoring, and secure control operations.
Its rugged industrial design ensures stable operation under extreme temperature variations and electromagnetic interference commonly found in high-voltage environments. This makes it highly dependable for mission-critical infrastructure.
In addition, the system provides clear event logging, alarm handling, and status visualization, helping operators quickly diagnose faults and maintain system stability with minimal downtime.
