Description
Product Overview
The GE VMIVME-5565-110000 is a high-speed reflective memory node card designed for VME-based industrial and embedded computing systems. It provides a shared-memory network through a high-speed fiber-optic link, allowing multiple computers or controllers to exchange real-time data without relying on conventional network software overhead. The documented 110000 configuration provides 128 MB of onboard reflective memory and uses multimode fiber transmission. The VME-5565 architecture supports deterministic data distribution across connected nodes, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid synchronization between processors, simulation platforms, industrial controllers, and data acquisition systems. GE documentation specifies a 2.125 Gbaud optical link and supports both ring and star network configurations.

Installation and Maintenance — VMIVME-5565-110000
Install the card in a compatible VME system and ensure adequate forced-air cooling. Before commissioning, verify the VME slot configuration, fiber type, optical connectors, and network topology. Multimode and single-mode optical configurations should not be treated as interchangeable.
Inspect the board for contamination, damaged connectors, loose components, or signs of overheating. After installation, verify optical link status and confirm that reflective-memory synchronization operates correctly across all connected nodes.
Personally, I would check the existing fiber infrastructure before replacing this card; optical-mode mismatches are an easy source of otherwise unexplained communication failures.
Product Warranty — VMIVME-5565-110000
Warranty terms depend on the supplier and equipment condition. For new, surplus, or refurbished inventory, confirm the board revision, serial number, memory configuration, optical transmission mode, test status, and warranty period before purchase.
The GE VMIVME-5565-110000 is best specified by its complete ordering code because memory capacity and fiber transmission mode directly affect system compatibility.
