This unit
The Abaco Systems VMIPCI-5588-411 is a PCI-based reflective memory interface card delivering software-transparent data sharing across distributed systems via high-speed fiber-optic links. Data written to memory in one node automatically broadcasts to all connected nodes at 1.2 Gbaud, eliminating I/O overhead while sustaining throughput to 29.5 Mbyte/s (14.8 Mbyte/s with redundant transfer enabled). The card supports up to 256 networked nodes with configurable on-board SDRAM from 256 Kbyte to 16 Mbyte and interrupt generation to any node or broadcast to the entire network.
Technical Specifications
- Network Speed: 1.2 Gbaud serial
- Data Transfer Rate: 29.5 Mbyte/s (standard mode), 14.8 Mbyte/s (redundant transfer mode)
- Maximum Network Nodes: 256
- On-board Memory: 256 Kbyte to 16 Mbyte SDRAM (configurable)
- Maximum Transmission Distance: 10 km single-mode fiber, 304 m multimode fiber, 30 m twinax cable
- PCI Bus Performance: 44 Mbyte/s target, 132 Mbyte/s DMA maximum (33 Mbyte/s sustained)
- Form Factor: Single standard-length PCI slot
Key Features
- Fiber-optic connectivity (single-mode, multimode) and twinax cable options with ST-style connectors
- Error detection and optional redundant transmission mode for enhanced data integrity
- Transmit and Receive FIFOs optimize CPU and bus performance during peak data rates
- Interrupt capability: any node can trigger interrupts on single or multiple network nodes
- Software-transparent operation requiring no explicit I/O management
- Configurable endian conversion for heterogeneous CPU architectures
Compatibility & Integration
- PCI interface; communication link compatible with other 5588-series products
- Device drivers available for Windows NT, 2000, and XP
- Datasheets, manuals, and drivers included
Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPCI-5588-411 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPCI-5588-411. 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-5588-411 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.
