DescriptionVMIC VMIPCI-5588-2xx High-Speed Fiber-Optic Reflective Memory with Interrupts | 1 Mbyte MemoryVMIPCI-5588 is a high-performance, daisy-chained PCI-to-PCI network. Data is transferred by writing to on-board global RAM. The data is automatically sent to the location in memory on all Reflective Memory boards on the network. The Reflective Memory network can include both PCI and VME systems. Data can be shared in VMEbus systems with the network-compatible VMIVME-5588.
Key FeaturesHigh-speed, easy-to-use fiber-optic network (1.2 Gbaud serially) Data written to memory in one node is also written to memory in all nodes on the network Up to 256 nodes Connection with multimode fiber up to 1,000 ft; single-mode fiber up to 10 km or twinax cable up to 30 m Data transferred at 29.5 Mbyte/s without redundant transfer Data transferred at 14.8 Mbyte/s with redundant transfer Any node on the network can generate an interrupt in any other node on the network or in all network nodes with a single command Error detection Redundant transmission mode for suppressing errors No processor overhead No processor involvement in the operation of the network Up to 16 Mbyte of Reflective Memory D32:D16:D8 memory access Single PCI 5 V slot, standard long card PCI target data bursts supported with 44 Mbyte/s transfer rates PCI master DMA controller (optional). DMA transfer rates of 132 Mbyte/s maximum and 33 Mbyte/s sustained. Configurable endian conversions for multiple CPU architectures on the network Communication link compatible with VMIVME-5588 and VMIPMC-5588 Software-addressable digital output bit available at output connector for use with optical switch board or any user-defined purpose Windows NT® OS driver available which operates the VMIPCI-5588 as a network interface board. Allows TCP/IP and other protocol connectivity on a network of VMIPCI-5588 or VMIVME-5588 nodes.
