VMIC PCIE-5565PIORC-100000 Reflective Memory Board

Module Feature

VMIC PCIE-5565PIORC-100000 is a PCI Express form factor reflective memory interface board. It implements high-speed reflective memory network for deterministic real-time data synchronization among distributed nodes, featuring ultra-low transmission latency and hardware-level automatic data mirroring. Dedicated onboard controller handles data broadcast without heavy CPU overhead. Supports hardware interrupt signaling between nodes for event synchronization. Rugged PCB design with good EMC performance, widely used in real-time simulation, aerospace test, distributed motion control and industrial high-reliability embedded systems.

Working principle

Reflective memory creates shared memory space across all network nodes. When any node writes data to local onboard memory, hardware automatically broadcasts the data packet to all other reflective memory nodes over fiber or coax media, updating their local memory copies instantly. Host CPU accesses shared memory directly like local RAM. Hardware interrupts can be transmitted over the network for cross-node trigger and synchronization.

Onboard components

Reflective memory controller, high-speed serial transceiver, shared memory chips, PCIe bridge circuit, interrupt logic circuit, front panel status LED indicators, external fiber/coax network connector.

LED indicators

Front panel LED indicators for power supply, network link status, data activity and fault alarm.

Hardware self-diagnosis

Visual inspection of PCB, edge connector and solder joints; board ID register readback and firmware version check; memory read/write cyclic test; network link and multi-node communication verification; interrupt trigger function test.

Programming software

VMIC Reflective Memory device driver and API library, supporting VxWorks, Linux and Windows operating systems; configuration utility for node ID, memory size and interrupt mapping.
