Product Parameters and Specifications

While exact parameters are model-specific, components like the ALSTOM V4561983-0100 generally share common characteristics based on their application lineage:

• Manufacturer / Brand: Alstom (Hitachi Rail)

• Part Type: Specialized PLC or Control System Module (e.g., communication interface, digital/analog I/O card, or processor module).

• Compatibility: Designed for specific Alstom control system families, such as older Urbalis or SelTrac platform racks.

• Input Voltage: Typically 24VDC or 110/220VAC, as required by the host chassis.

• Isolation: High-grade electrical isolation for signal integrity and noise immunity.

• Environmental Rating: Engineered for industrial environments, often with extended temperature ranges and protection against vibration and humidity.

• Certifications: Likely complies with relevant industry standards for rail/transportation (e.g., EN 50155, EN 50121).

Key Advantages and Features

The primary strengths of a module like the ALSTOM V4561983-0100 lie in its origin and purpose-built design:

• Proven Reliability in Critical Systems: As an authentic Alstom part, it is manufactured to the exact specifications required for safety-critical train control and signaling systems.

• Seamless System Integration: Guarantees full hardware and software compatibility within its intended Alstom control platform, avoiding configuration conflicts.

• Long-Term Availability & Support: For legacy systems, genuine spare parts like this are essential for maintaining operational continuity and accessing technical support.

• Ruggedized Construction: Built to withstand the harsh operating conditions of railway applications, including temperature extremes and mechanical stress.

• Precision Engineering: Offers deterministic performance and precise timing, which is crucial for real-time control applications in transportation.

Application Cases in Industry

This component is almost exclusively applied in the rail and mass transit sectors:

• Train Control Management Systems (TCMS): As an I/O module interfacing with sensors and actuators on-board trains.

• Railway Signaling & Interlocking: Within trackside control cabinets for processing safety-critical signals.

• Metro & Light Rail Automation: Part of the vital control units that manage door systems, traction control, or auxiliary functions in automated train operations.

• Legacy System Maintenance: Used for the direct replacement of failed modules in existing Alstom-installed bases, ensuring system longevity without a full upgrade.

Comparison with Competing Products

When compared to generic or third-party PLC modules, the ALSTOM V4561983-0100 has a distinct profile:

• Vs. Generic Industrial PLC Modules (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley): While major industrial PLC brands offer broad versatility, the ALSTOM V4561983-0100 is a proprietary solution tailored for a specific Alstom ecosystem. It is not interchangeable with standard industrial PLC racks. Competing on versatility is not its role; it excels in being the only correct part for its specific system.

• Vs. Third-Party “Clone” or Refurbished Parts: Genuine ALSTOM V4561983-0100 modules offer guaranteed performance, full traceability, and compliance with original safety certifications. Third-party alternatives may pose risks in reliability, warranty, and regulatory approval for transportation applications.

• Value Proposition: Its value is not in generic features but in enabling the continued, certified, and safe operation of high-value capital assets like trains and signaling networks.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

Selecting and installing this part requires careful attention:

1. Exact Model Verification: Confirm the ALSTOM V4561983-0100 part number matches exactly the module being replaced. Even minor suffix differences can indicate critical firmware or hardware revisions.

2. System Compatibility Check: Verify the module’s compatibility with the specific software version and hardware revision of the existing control chassis. Consult original system documentation.

3. Source Authenticity: Always procure from authorized Alstom/Hitachi Rail distributors or highly reputable specialists in rail automation spares to avoid counterfeit parts.

4. Installation by Qualified Personnel: Installation and configuration should only be performed by technicians trained on the specific Alstom system, following all safety and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures.

5. Observe Legacy System Nuances: Be aware that integrating a new module into a legacy system may require specific startup procedures or software re-initialization steps as per the OEM manual.
