VMIVME-5576-210 | VMEbus Communication Controller

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Advantages

The VMIVME-5576-210 delivers deterministic communication with dual Ethernet channels and VME64x bandwidth up to 160 MB/s. Its ruggedized design withstands 5g vibration and 50g shock, making it ideal for mission-critical systems. Hardware-accelerated TCP/IP offloading reduces CPU overhead by 40% for real-time data processing.

Advanced diagnostics: Built-in BIT (Built-In Test) performs system health checks at startup and runtime. The module supports hot-swap capability via VME64x P0/J0 connectors, enabling field replacements without downtime. Conformal coating protects against humidity and corrosive environments.
