ALSTOM AH116-2 Industrial Control Module

The ALSTOM AH116-2 serves as a precision control solution for industrial automation systems requiring stable and accurate operation. Originally designed for heavy-duty applications, this module maintains consistent performance in environments where temperature fluctuations and electrical noise are common. Its primary function revolves around managing motor drives and synchronizing control sequences in manufacturing setups.

Technical Specifications:

• Manufacturer: ALSTOM (France)
• Model Number: AH116-2
• Operating Voltage: 220 VAC
• Output Frequency: 50 kHz
• Compliance: Industry-standard certifications

Common applications include chemical processing plants utilizing ABB’s DSQC robotics controllers alongside this module for coordinated production lines. Energy facilities operating GE’s VMIVME systems have successfully integrated the AH116-2 for turbine control sequences. The module’s 50 kHz output frequency makes it particularly suitable for high-speed packaging machinery requiring tight synchronization with Schneider servo drives. One automotive plant technician noted how its 220V design eliminated voltage compatibility issues common with imported equipment.

Despite its compact dimensions, the module incorporates industrial-grade components that withstand mechanical vibrations up to 15G shock loads. Unlike typical control modules needing specialized cooling, its thermal design operates reliably at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C. The printed circuit board uses conformal coating to resist industrial dust accumulation – a feature we’ve found particularly valuable in cement plant installations. For system architects, its compatibility with Foxboro’s I/A series and Woodward digital controllers simplifies cross-platform integration without additional interface hardware.
