Fanuc PCIE-5565RC Ultra-High-Speed Optical Fibre with Interrupt
Product Overview
The PCIE-5565RC* is the PCI Express (PCIe) product in the Abaco Reflected Memory Real-Time Fibre Optic Networking product family.
Two or more PCIE5565RCs, as well as other products in this family, can be integrated into a network using standard fibre optic cables.
Each board in the network is referred to as a “node”.
Reflective memory allows computers, workstations, PLCs and other dcs-sis.com embedded controllers with different architectures and different operating systems to share data in real time.
The 5565 Series Reflective Memory (referred to as RFM-5565 in this manual) is fast, flexible, and easy to operate.
Data is transferred via write memory (SDRAM) that appears to exist globally on all boards on the network.
The on-board circuitry performs data transfers to all other nodes automatically, with little or no host processor involvement.The block diagram of the PCIE-5565RC is shown in Figure 1 on page 10.
