This unit
The Abaco Systems VMIPCI-5588-201 is a high-speed fiber-optic reflective memory module for distributed computing systems requiring real-time data synchronization across multiple nodes. Operating at 1.2 Gbaud serial data rate, this PCI bus-compatible board delivers 29.5 Mbyte/s standard throughput or 14.8 Mbyte/s with redundant error-suppression mode. The reflective memory architecture automatically mirrors writes from any node to all networked nodes, maintaining data consistency without processor overhead.
Technical Specifications
- Interface: PCI Bus, single 5 V slot, standard length board
- Serial Data Rate: 1.2 Gbaud
- Peak Throughput: 29.5 Mbyte/s (standard); 14.8 Mbyte/s (redundant mode)
- On-board Memory: Configurable 256 Kbyte to 16 Mbyte SDRAM
- Network Nodes: Up to 256 nodes
- Maximum Distance: 1,000 feet (304.8 m) multimode fiber; 10,000 meters single-mode fiber; 30 meters twinax cable
- Interrupts: Single-command generation to individual nodes or all network nodes
- Data Buffering: Transmit and Receive FIFOs optimize CPU and bus performance during peak rates
- Endian Configuration: Selectable for multi-architecture networks
- Digital Output: Software-addressable bit for user-defined control or optical switch interfacing
Key Features
- Zero-processor-overhead network operation
- Error detection with configurable redundant transmission mode
- Fiber-optic (multimode/single-mode) and twinax connectivity options
- Compatible with 5588 series products
- Cross-CPU-architecture support via configurable endian conversion
Typical Applications Real-time distributed computing, high-throughput data sharing across clustered systems, deterministic inter-node communication requiring sub-processor latency, fault-tolerant memory architectures.
Compatibility & Integration Device drivers and Internet Protocol support available for Windows NT (VMIPCI/SW-RFM1). Full compatibility with other 5588 series reflective memory modules.

Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPCI-5588-201 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPCI-5588-201. 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 Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPCI-5588-201 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.
