GE 0880001-01 – Control Board Module for GE Industrial Automation Systems

The GE 0880001-01 is a factory-grade control module used in GE industrial control platforms. From my experience, it’s typically applied as a form-fit-function replacement inside GE drive, turbine, or process control racks—where reliability and tight system compatibility matter more than anything else. You might notice that it’s designed to be backplane-powered and installed directly into an OEM chassis, which keeps field wiring untouched and downtime low.

Our Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty period: 365 days
• Delivery time: 1 week for in-stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment method: 50% advance payment; full payment for delivery
• Express delivery methods: fedex, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Form, fit, and function compatible – Designed to drop into the native GE rack, minimizing rework and commissioning time.
• Backplane-powered – No field power rewiring; the module draws regulated DC from the system backplane.
• Field wiring unchanged – I/O typically routes via existing terminal boards, so you avoid field-side rewiring.
• Factory-level testing – Each unit is usually function-tested and inspected, which seems to be the safest route for critical assets.
• Traceability and revision control – We match hardware/firmware revisions when required by your site’s MOC process.
• ESD-safe logistics – Antistatic packaging and shock-resistant cartons to protect sensitive electronics in transit.

Technical Specifications

HS Code	8538.90 (Parts suitable for 8535/8536/8537 apparatus)
Power Requirements	Backplane-supplied DC power; typically 5 VDC nominal, low wattage draw (board-level)
Dimensions & Weight	Board-level module for rack installation; approx. 6U-height form factor; ~0.5–0.8 kg depending on revision
Operating Temperature	0 to 60°C (typical for GE control boards in enclosed panels)
Signal I/O Types	Interfaces via system backplane; field signals usually terminate on separate terminal boards
Communication Interfaces	Proprietary GE backplane bus; service headers may be present depending on revision
Installation Method	Rack-mounted card; inserts into the OEM chassis with card-edge engagement and retaining hardware

Application Fields

In many cases, GE 0880001-01 modules are deployed in:

• Power generation controls (gas/steam turbine auxiliary control, balance-of-plant)
• Industrial drives and motion systems in metals, mining, and paper
• Process automation panels where GE control racks are standard
• Utility substations and critical infrastructure control rooms

One thing I appreciate is how this type of GE board lets you replace a failing card without disturbing the field wiring—particularly helpful when production windows are tight.

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Risk reduction – Like-for-like replacement reduces engineering change and revalidation.
• Compatibility – Hardware/firmware revision matching on request to align with installed base.
• Short lead options – Stock-based dispatch can cut downtime costs significantly.
• Lifecycle support – Access to related GE rack parts and accessories streamlines future maintenance.
• Cost control – Refurbished or new-surplus choices depending on your budget and policy.
• Documentation help – We can assist with test reports and serialization for site records.

Installation & Maintenance

• Panel environment – Install in a clean, ventilated enclosure; follow the OEM rack orientation and spacing.
• Power & grounding – Verify backplane supply health and protective earth bonding; avoid ground loops.
• ESD precautions – Handle with wrist strap and ESD mat; keep the module in antistatic packaging until mounting.
• Wiring – Field I/O typically remains on terminal boards; reseat backplane connectors carefully and torque any retainers per spec.
• Routine checks – Periodically inspect connector pins, clean dust with dry air, and log status LEDs/diagnostics.
• Firmware maintenance – Where applicable, align firmware with the site-approved revision before energizing.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems (typical for GE suppliers)
• CE/UL conformity applies at the system level when installed in the approved GE chassis
• RoHS status depends on production vintage; documentation available on request
• Warranty: 365 days coverage against functional defects

Related and Supporting Components

If you are planning a shutdown, it often makes sense to bundle supporting parts. We typically supply:

• GE rack/backplane assemblies compatible with this module’s card-edge interface
• Power supply units for the control chassis (24 VDC or station battery inputs, depending on platform)
• Terminal boards for field I/O breakouts (digital/analog, RTD/thermocouple, relay drivers)
• Shielded ribbon or harness sets for backplane-to-terminal interconnects
• Replacement retainers, ejectors, and faceplate hardware
