Product Description

The Alstom 43297029 is a high-performance industrial computing engine designed for mission-critical automation systems. Engineered under the Alstom/Converteam lineage (now GE Energy), this module provides deterministic real-time control, rapid response times, and high-availability logic execution for thermal power plants, nuclear facilities, and grid-control stations.

Powered by a 32-bit RISC processor with robust memory (128 MB Flash + 64 MB RAM), the 43297029 ensures reliable execution of complex process logic. Dual-redundant RS-485 ports and optional Ethernet connectivity maintain uninterrupted communication even in environments with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its compact design and low power consumption make it ideal for remote terminal units (RTUs) and distributed I/O racks.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

• High-reliability process control in thermal, nuclear, and grid automation

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 43297029 require a battery for the RTC?
A: No. The module uses a maintenance-free supercapacitor to maintain its Real-Time Clock settings, eliminating battery replacement and reducing total cost of ownership.

Q: How does the 43297029 handle communication failures?
A: Dual-redundant RS-485 ports allow seamless switchover if one path fails due to wiring faults or EMI, ensuring uninterrupted control loop execution.
