Description

The General Electric IC698RMX016 is a PACSystems RX7i Redundancy Memory Xchange Module designed to function as a high-performance node within a reflective memory network or serve as a dedicated deterministic link connecting dual CPUs in a fault-tolerant redundant controller architecture. Engineered for high-speed data sharing, this module enables rapid, deterministic data synchronization across multiple automation systems and external computational devices without loading the main backplane or CPU communication resources.

Occupying a single slot within the PACSystems RX7i VME-based rack enclosure, the IC698RMX016 provides 16 megabytes of reflective memory capacity. It interfaces seamlessly with VMIC 5565 compatible reflective memory infrastructure, utilizing high-speed multimode fiber optic cabling to maintain low-latency data transmission over distances up to 300 meters. The module handles real-time memory updates independently, ensuring rapid switchover capabilities and continuous process synchronization in critical industrial control applications.

Features

  • 16 MB of high-speed reflective memory for real-time data exchange and node synchronization
  • Compatible with VMIC 5565 reflective memory standards and network topologies
  • Supports multimode fiber optic network connections up to 300 meters in length
  • Single-slot hardware footprint in PACSystems RX7i VME-based chassis racks
  • Deterministic data transfer independent of controller scan times for redundant system coordination

Applications

  • Hot-standby redundant CPU controller synchronization and failover management
  • High-speed deterministic data distribution across distributed PLC and SCADA nodes
  • Real-time process data logging and shared memory architectures in heavy industrial automation
  • Multi-controller integration requiring low-latency inter-processor communication
