This unit
The Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G is a dual-channel Fibre Channel XMC module that delivers 8 Gbps optical connectivity with full protocol offload to dedicated silicon. Built on Silicon Stack architecture, it eliminates host processor overhead and achieves 10 microsecond latency while sustaining 3200 MBytes/sec aggregated throughput across two independent channels. The module connects via 8-lane PCI-Express to the host and presents dual optical LC connectors supporting SFP+ transceivers. Auto-negotiation supports 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 2 Gbps line rates. Each channel delivers 1600 MBytes/sec full-duplex maximum data rate. Protocol support spans SCSI-FCP for storage, and FC-RDMA, FC-FCLP, FC-ASM, FC-AV, and FC-IP for networking and messaging applications.

Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G price
This Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G is listed at $3,200. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Critical I/O FCA2540-XMC-FF-G is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
