About the VMIVME-5576
This module is one of the VMIC/GE Fanuc modules, designated as the VMIVME-5576 unit of the series. This board is designed to function as a Reflective Memory board, able to transfer data. It does so by recording it onto on-board RAM. The Reflective Memory concept for these boards provides a very fast and efficient way of sharing data across distributed computer systems.
The VMIC/GE Fanuc series was developed by General Electric and produced by the company’s industrial automation division, but these products were later purchased and developed by Abaco Systems.
The VMIVMVE-5576 interface module permits data to be shared between 256 independent systems at a rate of up to 6.2 MB.
The Reflective Memory boards within the VMIC/GE Fanuc line are designed to be configurable for the data shared and retained, with up to 256 KB to 1 MB of onboard SRAM.
The reflective memory that is integrated into these VMIC/GE Fanuc models is programmed to interrupt several nodes at once by sending it to a byte register. These signals synchronize a system process.
The node interrupt is able to follow the data. This ensures that the data reception is completed, and then enables the interrupt after the reception. The VMIVME-5576 unit is built so that no initialization is needed before the interrupt capabilities are used.
AX Control Inc. has the VMIVME-5576 module, as well as the rest of the VMIC/GE Fanuc series, available in stock from our reconditioned industrial hardware and materials.
