The PMC-5565PIORC* is the PMC-based product in GE Intelligent Platforms’ Reflective Memory Real-Time Fiber Optic Network product family.

Two or more PMC-5565PIORCs, as well as other products in this family, can be integrated into a network using standard fiber optic cables.

Each board in the network is referred to as a “node”.

Reflective memory allows computers, workstations, PLCs and other 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 automatically performs data transfers to all other nodes with little or no host processor involvement.

Functional Features

Compatibility: Compatible with VMEbus specification. Double height form factor.

Input Connector Type: Dual 64-pin connector – DIN 41612

Input/Output Organization Eight input ports; eight bits wide. Addressable to any address within the short-circuit monitor and/or short-circuit unprivileged I/O map. Control and Status Register (CSR) addresses are independently selectable.

Addressing Scheme: Each of the eight ports can be addressed on 8-, 16-, or 32-bit boundaries. One CSR can be addressed on 8-bit boundaries. 13 jumpers provide unlimited short data I/O address mapping options.

Differential Signal Input Characteristics: Common Mode Input Voltage Range: -30 to +66 V. Common Mode Input Voltage Range: -7 to +12 V. Input Sensitivity ± 100 mV. High Input Impedance (33 kΩ).

Single-Ended Signal Input Characteristics: High input impedance (33kΩ). Threshold accuracy of 1% (typical) over the entire 66V range.

Signal Conditioning Input Filter Terminator Option: The board can be ordered with an input signal filter circuit.

For differential inputs, the circuit consists of a series resistor and capacitor connected across the signal input. For single-ended inputs, the circuit provides an input dither filter with a user-selectable time constant.

Functional Features

Board Features:

This 64-bit optically coupled digital input board is designed and optimized for the VME bus.

The VMIVME-1150 is highly isolated and provides a flexible, low cost, high noise immunity 8-byte digital input port. The functional block diagram is shown below.

Compatibility:

The VMIVME-1150 is a standard double height printed circuit board that is electrically and mechanically compatible with the VME bus.

Input Organization:

Eight input ports, each eight bits wide. The ports are organized as eight consecutive 8-bit read-only registers.

Addressing Scheme:

Each 8-bit port is individually addressable anywhere within an 8-bit or 16-bit boundary.

Short-circuit monitoring or short-circuiting anywhere within unprivileged I/O space.

Board Address:

The board address is selected by the on-board DIP switches. Runs in any available slot on the VMEbus backplane except slot 1.

VMEbus Access:

The address modifier bits are decoded to support short supervised or unprivileged short I/O access. A jumper is provided to support this option. The board is factory configured for short supervised I/O access.

VME Bus Reply:

The DTACK reply is a response to a data select (DS0 or DS1) and the decoded board address.
