ALSTOM V0701596-001102 – Trainborne Control Module Spare for ALSTOM Rolling Stock Systems
The ALSTOM V0701596-001102 is a board-level module commonly used inside ALSTOM vehicle control cabinets—typically within TCMS, propulsion, or subsystem interface racks. From my experience, the “V” series part numbers usually point to field-replaceable modules with tight traceability, designed to slot into a dedicated backplane and get the train back in service fast. If you’re maintaining metropolitan metro fleets, EMUs, or light rail sets, this part tends to be kept on the shelf as a critical spare to minimize dwell time in the depot.

Key Features
- Designed for ALSTOM vehicle cabinets – Slides into the designated rack slot and mates with a blind-mate backplane, which makes swap-outs quick in the depot.
- Backplane-powered – Power is supplied through the system backplane; no loose field wiring on the board edge in most cases, reducing handling errors.
- Industrial rail-grade build – Typically specified for in-cabinet operation in rail environments (shock, vibration, EMC) to EN 50155/EN 50121 classes used by ALSTOM platforms.
- Traceable spare – Clear serial/batch traceability seems to be standard for this series, making lifecycle tracking and maintenance history straightforward.
- Service-friendly – In many cases, configuration or firmware is handled via the vehicle maintenance interface, keeping field tools simple.

Application Fields
This model is suited to rolling stock environments where a dependable control or I/O interface module is required. Typical use cases include:
- TCMS racks on metro and EMU fleets for subsystem coordination and diagnostics
- Propulsion or braking controller cabinets as an interface or processing board
- Door control, auxiliary converters, and HVAC control cabinets that rely on ALSTOM backplane modules
- Depot test benches and spares pools for rapid module exchange during maintenance windows
A maintenance engineer at a metro operator shared that keeping two V-series cards on hand cut their trainset turnaround from hours to under 30 minutes—no special rewiring, just a clean swap and verification on the maintenance terminal.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability – Built to rail standards with shock and vibration resilience for long service intervals.
- Compatibility – Intended for ALSTOM platforms using the matching backplane; avoids integration surprises.
- Reduced Downtime – Fast field replacement design; typically no field calibration after swap in many cases.
- Traceability & QA – Clear serials and batch data streamline warranty and maintenance records.
- Support – Documentation and test reports can be provided to align with your acceptance process.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet standards – Install in the specified ALSTOM rack/cabinet with adequate ventilation; avoid condensation and dust ingress.
- Power isolation – De-energize the vehicle low-voltage supply before inserting or removing the module.
- ESD handling – Use wrist straps and ESD-safe packaging; these boards are sensitive to static.
- Wiring – Field I/O is usually terminated at the backplane or terminal assemblies; verify slot and orientation against the vehicle maintenance manual.
- Routine care – Periodically clean cabinet filters, check connector seating, and apply firmware/config updates through the standard maintenance tool if applicable.
- Post-replacement checks – Run the built-in diagnostics and log download; confirm there are no residual fault codes.
Quality & Certifications
- Built for rail environments typically aligned with EN 50155 (electronic equipment on rolling stock) and EN 50121-3-2 (EMC)
- CE conformity for applicable directives; RoHS-compliant materials where specified by ALSTOM
- Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems at the OEM level
- Supported by a 365-day warranty from us; extended support packages available on request
You might notice that this part number is often tied to a specific vehicle configuration. If you can share the train model, rack slot, or existing BOM/SN, we can cross-check compatibility and provide the corresponding test report before shipment.
