This unit
The Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPMC-5565-110 is a PMC-based fiber-optic reflective memory module that enables deterministic, low-latency data sharing across optical ring-based networks of up to 256 nodes. Data written to onboard SDRAM is automatically broadcast via high-speed fiber-optic links to all connected systems, independent of their bus architecture or operating system. The module operates transparently to host software, eliminating CPU overhead and I/O bottlenecks during network transactions.
Technical Specifications
- Form Factor: PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card), single-width, 3.3V or 5V
- Onboard Memory: 64 Mbyte, 128 Mbyte, or 256 Mbyte SDRAM (configurable)
- Network Data Rate: 43 Mbyte/s (4-byte packets); 174 Mbyte/s (64-byte packets)
- Serial Data Rate: 2.12 Gbaud
- Packet Size: Dynamic, 4 to 64 bytes
- Maximum Nodes: Up to 256
- Bus Interface: PCI 64-bit 66 MHz, single-width mezzanine
- Fiber-Optic Connectivity: RX/TX ports with multimode (300 m maximum) or single-mode (10 km maximum) fiber support
Key Features
- Two independent DMA channels; DMA engine acts as PCI initiator for block transfers
- Automatic packet fragmentation prevents PCI bus monopolization
- Simultaneous read and write DMA capability
- PCI interrupt generation upon DMA completion
- Transmit and Receive FIFO buffering for peak-rate optimization
- Software-transparent operation reduces processor overhead
- Deterministic data propagation across network
Typical Applications
- Multi-system real-time data synchronization
- Distributed defense and aerospace platforms
- Low-latency inter-board communication in deterministic environments
- High-speed telemetry networks requiring predictable timing
Compatibility & Integration The VMIPMC-5565-110 integrates into PCI-based host systems via standard mezzanine connectors. Fiber-optic isolation provides electrical independence across network nodes. DMA capability offloads memory operations from host CPU, enabling other processing tasks during network transactions.

Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPMC-5565-110 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIPMC-5565-110. 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 VMIPMC-5565-110 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.
