ALSTOM 42011-106-00 A01 ITC_VIOM_VIOC (VER.A01) Control Module

Engineered for precision control in demanding industrial environments, this ALSTOM module serves as a critical component for automating complex machinery and processes. Its dual-protocol capability and high-speed processing make it particularly effective in applications requiring real-time data exchange and fault-tolerant operation across sectors like energy generation, rail transport, and heavy manufacturing.

Real-World Applications & Compatibility

We’ve seen this module excel in environments ranging from power plant turbine control to automated rail signaling systems. One client reported improved response times in a hydroelectric facility’s governor control system after integrating this module with ALSTOM’s WDPF distributed control system. The compact design allows seamless retrofitting into existing control cabinets originally designed for legacy ALSTOM/CEGB hardware.

Our inventory includes complementary ALSTOM components such as MAX1000 controller modules, OVATION system I/O cards, and legacy WDPF spares. Commonly paired products include the 1C31129G03 communication interface and 5X00063G01 power supply units for system integrators maintaining mixed-generation control rooms.

Technical Advantages

The module’s 200ns processing speed enables execution of complex control algorithms faster than most contemporary PLCs in its class. Unlike standard industrial controllers, its dual communication ports support simultaneous CANopen and DeviceNet connections without protocol conversion gateways, reducing system latency.

Built-in diagnostics monitor both operational parameters and communication integrity. During a recent deployment at a gas processing plant, these features identified an emerging fieldbus cable fault 48 hours before failure, allowing preventive maintenance without production downtime. The -20°C to +60°C operating range exceeds typical industrial standards, ensuring reliability in harsh environments like offshore platforms and desert mining operations.

While not explicitly marketed as redundant, we’ve successfully implemented dual-module configurations using standard ALSTOM backplane architecture. This approach, combined with the module’s self-check capabilities, has achieved 99.999% uptime for critical control loops in several client installations.
