The ALSTOM N897163510Q is identified as a Modem Interface Board assembly associated with N897163050Q and N897163100U. Available product references describe N897163510Q as the complete ordering number, with N897163050Q identified as the modem sub-unit and N897163100U as the associated interface-board hardware. The assembly is described for legacy ALSTOM industrial control applications, including VME-based GEM80 control systems, where it provides a communication path for remote monitoring, diagnostics, and data exchange. Because the three identifiers can refer to different parts of the same assembly, the markings on the actual board should be checked carefully when selecting a replacement.

FAQ
Q: What is the N897163510Q used for?
A: It is used as a modem communication interface within compatible ALSTOM control-system installations, providing communication and diagnostic connectivity.
Q: What is the relationship between the three part numbers?
A: Product documentation identifies N897163510Q as the complete assembly, N897163050Q as the modem sub-unit, and N897163100U as the modem interface-board hardware.
Q: Is this a CPU or standard I/O module?
A: No. It is primarily a communication/modem interface assembly rather than a central processor or conventional field I/O module.
Q: Which system is it associated with?
A: Available references specifically associate this assembly with ALSTOM GEM80 control systems and VME-based industrial control applications.
Q: What should be checked before replacement?
A: Verify all three identifiers, board revision, connector arrangement, rack/backplane compatibility, and the existing ALSTOM system configuration before installation.
