Description
Brooks Automation 002-1100-10 VCE Control Board
Product Overview
The Brooks Automation 002-1100-10 is a VCE control board associated with the MCC2B equipment platform used in semiconductor manufacturing. Available equipment references consistently describe the 002-1100-10 as a Brooks Automation VCE board or PCB for a VCE assembly. A separate equipment-parts database associates the part with Lam Research P/N 799-550233-001, providing a useful cross-reference when identifying installed legacy equipment.
The Brooks Automation 002-1100-10 should be treated as an equipment-specific control PCB rather than a general-purpose PLC, DCS controller, or standard industrial I/O card. Its role is tied to the VCE/MCC2B architecture, and the available repair references identify the broader board family as an MCC2-2A Control Board. Another equipment-parts source lists the 002-1100-10 specifically as a VCE control board alongside related VCE board numbers such as 001-9323-01 and 002-1100-06.
From a maintenance standpoint, the complete part number and PCB revision matter. Public inventory records identify Rev. A3/A6 examples, while other references simply list the base 002-1100-10 number. That means a replacement should be compared against the physical board marking rather than relying on the base number alone.
There is not enough reliable public documentation to assign an exact processor, memory capacity, supply voltage, connector pinout, communication protocol, I/O count, operating temperature, or firmware version to every 002-1100-10 board. Those values should be taken from the installed equipment documentation or verified directly from the PCB and associated VCE assembly. That limitation is important when this board is being sourced for production equipment.
Product Introduction — Non-Templated
The 002-1100-10 is a legacy semiconductor-equipment control PCB, and its identification depends heavily on the VCE/MCC2B context. Public service references identify it specifically as a Brooks Automation VCE board rather than a generic automation controller.
For a legacy replacement, the practical target is not simply a board with the same connector layout. Match the 002-1100-10 part number, PCB revision, VCE assembly, equipment configuration, and installed board-to-board interfaces before approving the replacement.

Major Features / Practical Advantages
1. MCC2B VCE Architecture
The 002-1100-10 is associated with the VCE control architecture. Equipment-parts references explicitly describe it as a VCE () Board, while a separate service reference calls the related board family an MCC2-2A Control Board.
This makes the system context critical. The board should not be evaluated like an interchangeable PLC CPU.
2. VCE Control Function
The available documentation identifies the board as a VCE control board / PCB for VCE assembly.
The exact internal division of processor, I/O, and communication functions is not sufficiently documented in public sources. For engineering work, it is safer to identify the board by its equipment-level function than to assign unsupported electrical specifications.
3. Legacy Semiconductor Equipment Support
The part appears in inventories and repair-service references for legacy semiconductor manufacturing equipment. It is also listed alongside other Lam and Brooks equipment PCBs, including CPU, ADIO, network, interlock, and interface boards.
That suggests the 002-1100-10 is best handled as a machine-specific maintenance spare.
4. Revision Control Matters
Available equipment listings identify 002-1100-10 Rev A3/A6 examples.
Do not assume that every board carrying the same base part number has identical hardware. When replacing an installed board, record the PCB revision, component revision markings, connector configuration, jumpers or switches, and any daughterboard configuration.
5. Cross-Reference Value
A semiconductor equipment-parts database associates Brooks Automation 002-1100-10 with Lam Research P/N 799-550233-001.
Cross-references are useful for identification, but they should not be treated as proof that every unit carrying either number is electrically interchangeable. The actual machine configuration remains the controlling reference.
6. Repairability and Board-Level Maintenance
The part appears in specialist PCB repair and equipment-spares references. That is consistent with the way legacy semiconductor tools are commonly maintained: board-level replacement or repair can preserve an installed machine architecture without forcing a complete equipment-control retrofit.
For critical production tools, however, repair history matters. A repaired PCB should be accompanied by a meaningful functional test rather than being accepted solely on visual inspection.

FAQ
What is Brooks Automation 002-1100-10?
It is a VCE control PCB associated with the platform used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Multiple equipment references identify it as a Brooks Automation VCE board.
Is 002-1100-10 a PLC module?
No. It should not be classified as a conventional PLC or DCS I/O module. It is an equipment-specific VCE control board intended for a semiconductor manufacturing system.
What is the Lam Research cross-reference?
One equipment-parts reference associates Brooks Automation 002-1100-10 with Lam Research P/N 799-550233-001.
This is useful when tracing an older machine’s bill of materials, but the cross-reference should be confirmed against the installed equipment documentation.
What does VCE mean on this board?
The available service references identify the board as a VCE board and associate it with the /MCC2-2A control architecture. Public sources do not provide enough authoritative documentation to safely expand the VCE abbreviation into a detailed electrical architecture, so it is better to retain the equipment designation rather than guess.
Are A3 and A6 the same hardware?
They are reported as revisions of the 002-1100-10 board in equipment inventories.
Do not assume they are electrically identical without comparing the PCB revision documentation and installed machine configuration.
Can I hot-swap 002-1100-10?
Do not assume hot replacement. This is an equipment control PCB connected to machine electronics. Follow the semiconductor tool’s maintenance procedure, remove power as required, observe ESD controls, and confirm that capacitors and connected subsystems are in a safe state before removal.
Does 002-1100-10 have firmware?
A firmware version for the exact board has not been reliably established from public documentation. If the board contains programmable logic or processor firmware in the installed VCE assembly, that information should be taken from the machine’s service documentation or the board itself.
Does it support Ethernet, RS-485, or another protocol?
The exact communication interfaces of the 002-1100-10 have not been sufficiently verified. Do not assume Ethernet, RS-485, CAN, or another protocol simply because other Brooks/Lam boards in the same machine have those interfaces.
What should I check before replacing the board?
At minimum, verify the complete 002-1100-10 part number, PCB revision, installed VCE assembly, equipment model, connector arrangement, daughterboards or option hardware, and any machine-specific configuration stored outside the PCB.
Is a used 002-1100-10 acceptable for production equipment?
Potentially, but condition and test evidence matter. A used PCB can have age-related capacitor degradation, connector wear, corrosion, previous repair work, or intermittent faults that are not visible during inspection. For production-critical equipment, request actual board photographs, revision information, repair history when available, and functional test results.
Procurement Note
When sourcing Brooks Automation 002-1100-10, verify:
- Exact part number: 002-1100-10
- VCE / identification
- PCB revision, including A3/A6 where applicable
- Equipment model and configuration
- Associated VCE assembly
- Lam cross-reference, if applicable: 799-550233-001
- Connector and backplane arrangement
- Daughterboards or option hardware
- PCB component condition
- Repair or refurbishment history
- Functional test status
- ESD-safe handling and packaging
The main procurement risk is false equivalence. Several Brooks, Lam, and VCE control boards look similar in catalog photographs, and some have closely related part numbers. The fact that another board is described as an MCC2 control board does not establish that it can replace 002-1100-10.
For a legacy semiconductor-tool replacement, use the complete board marking + revision + installed equipment configuration as the acceptance criteria. Where the public documentation is incomplete, the machine’s original service documentation and the physical PCB markings should take precedence over generic reseller specifications.
