General Electric PCI-5565PIORC-110000 Reflective Memory PCI Node Card

Description

The General Electric PCI-5565PIORC-110000 is a high-performance Reflective Memory PCI node card designed for real-time industrial applications. This module provides a deterministic, low-latency communication interface, allowing multiple nodes to share memory across a high-speed fiber-optic network. It is engineered to maintain data consistency across distributed systems, ensuring that all nodes in the network have access to the same information simultaneously.

Features

• 128 MB of onboard reflective memory for high-speed data buffering.
• Multimode fiber-optic transmission for reliable data transfer over distance.
• Deterministic, low-latency performance suitable for time-critical control loops.
• Operating system and bus structure independence for flexible integration.
• Sustained data transfer rates of up to 174 Mbytes/s.

Applications

This node card is widely utilized in industrial automation environments requiring synchronized data across multiple controllers or workstations, including:

• High-speed motion control systems.
• Distributed control systems (DCS) requiring real-time data mirroring.
• Simulation and testing rigs where deterministic timing is critical.
• Large-scale industrial process monitoring.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the host system is powered down before installing or removing the PCI card.
• Handle the module using ESD-safe practices to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components.
• Ensure the PCI slot is clean and free of debris before seating the card.
• Verify that the fiber-optic cables are correctly seated and protected from sharp bends or excessive tension.
• Maintain adequate ventilation within the host chassis to ensure the card operates within the specified temperature range.

FAQ
