GE MC-41122400 – Industrial Control Module for GE Automation Systems
The GE MC-41122400 is a factory-grade control module used in GE automation and turbine-control cabinets. From my experience, it’s the kind of spare you keep on the shelf to get a downed line or skid running again quickly. You might notice that GE keeps this family fairly consistent across revisions—keyed connectors, solid PCB construction, and backplane-powered operation—so swap-outs are typically straightforward when the platform and firmware match.
Where it shines is reliability under cabinet conditions and predictable integration with the existing GE backplane. One thing I appreciate is how clean the replacement process tends to be: remove power, release the captive screws, seat the module, and verify the status LEDs before bringing the system fully online. In many cases, technicians tell me they were back in service in under an hour, including functional checks.
Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

Related or Supporting Products
To streamline maintenance, teams usually pair the MC-41122400 with platform-specific backplanes and I/O terminal boards. Depending on your GE control system, the following families are commonly seen together:
- GE IS200/IS215 series I/O packs – Used for signal conditioning and field connectivity in many GE control cabinets.
- GE DS200/DS215 control boards – Core processing and drive-control boards in legacy and current GE platforms.
- Terminal boards (TCQx/TTx families) – Platform-specific screw-terminal interfaces for field wiring, typically mounted near the rack.
- Shielded ribbon and backplane harnesses – Ensure low-noise interconnects and keyed mating to avoid miswiring.
Note: Compatibility varies by cabinet and firmware. It appears that later revisions can be drop‑in replacements, but it’s best to confirm the exact series and revision requirements from your system BOM before ordering.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet environment: Install in a clean, dry control cabinet with adequate ventilation; maintain ambient per spec and avoid vibration hot spots.
- Wiring & grounding: Use the designated backplane slot; verify protective earth bonding and shield terminations to reduce noise.
- ESD precautions: Handle with a grounded wrist strap; keep the board in ESD packaging until the moment of install.
- Commissioning: Check firmware/revision alignment; observe status LEDs and run a point‑check before restoring the process to full load.
- Routine care: Quarterly cabinet dusting with dry, oil‑free air; annual connector reseat and visual inspection for heat stress or loose fasteners.
- Lifecycle: Keep at least one tested spare on site; document slot location and parameters to speed up future replacements.
Quality & Certifications
- Certifications: Typically conforms to CE; UL recognition and RoHS compliance may apply depending on the production lot and region.
- Manufacturing standards: Produced under ISO 9001 quality systems (common for GE industrial components).
- Warranty: 365-day warranty as part of our supply guarantee.
- Traceability: Lot and revision tracking included on packing list and label.
If you can share the cabinet type, slot position, and any known firmware constraints, we can verify MC-41122400 compatibility and reserve stock for your date. In most cases, that quick check prevents avoidable downtime and returns.
