Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIVME-5550-110 Reflective Memory Interface

The Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIVME-5550-110 is a Reflective Memory Interface card engineered for deterministic, high-speed data sharing across VMEbus-based real-time systems. This card enables synchronized, low-latency communication between distributed computing nodes through a shared memory architecture where data written by one node is automatically mirrored to all connected peers.

– Technical Specifications

• Product Type: Reflective Memory Interface Card
• Manufacturer: Abaco Systems / VMIC
• Model Number: VMIVME-5550-110
• Bus Architecture: VMEbus (IEEE 1014)
• Form Factor: Standard VMEbus Eurocard (6U)

– Key Features

• Shared Memory Architecture: Data written to specific memory locations by one node automatically mirrors to all connected nodes with deterministic propagation timing
• Deterministic Synchronization: Updates propagate across the network within predictable and consistent timeframes, critical for real-time control operations
• Error Detection and Correction: Data integrity mechanisms ensure accuracy during transmission across the reflective memory network
• Proprietary Protocol: Optimized high-speed data reflection protocol for VMEbus environments
• Node Scalability: Supports multiple reflective memory nodes within a network; node capacity depends on system configuration and cable lengths

– Typical Applications

Designed for simulation, control systems, and data acquisition environments requiring synchronized operation across distributed computing nodes where low latency and deterministic behavior are mandatory.

– Compatibility & Integration

Compatible with standard VMEbus systems and real-time operating systems including VxWorks, pSOS, and proprietary embedded kernels commonly deployed in industrial control and aerospace applications.
