GE VMIACC5595 Embedded Industrial Control Module

Product core positioning

VMIAC5595 is an embedded industrial grade control module launched by General Electric (GE), which focuses on high reliability and multi scenario adaptability. Its core is used for signal acquisition, logic control, and equipment linkage in industrial automation systems, especially for industrial scenarios that require compact installation space and stable communication capabilities (such as intelligent manufacturing production lines, industrial equipment monitoring systems, etc.). It is a key component of GE's embedded control system family.

Features
• For use with GE Intelligent Platforms 5565 Reflective Memory network of products
• Provides up to eight ports using small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers
• Hub assemblies can be cascaded with a maximum of 256 nodes
• Automatically bypasses defective or discon-nected nodes in a fiber-optic network
• Automatic bypass can be optionally controlled by the loss of signal or by the loss of sync pattern
• Each port regenerates the serial optical signal, eliminating link losses and reduc- ing jitter
• Configurable for use with cables up to 10 km in length
• 10BaseT Ethernet TCP/IP port for remote access and control
• RS232 port for local access and control
• Optional 19 - inch 1U rack mount or desktop enclosure
• Internal universal power supply
• Dark on Dark option turns off the board’s transmitter if the receiver does not detect a signal (available for firmware versions 02.00 and later)

The ACC-5595 is a managed hub designed to operate with the GE Intelligent Platforms 5565 family of Reflective Memory real-time network products. The Reflective Memory hub can automatically bypass ports when it detects a loss of signal or the loss of valid synchronization patterns, allowing the other nodes in the network to remain operational.Since the optical ports are implemented with small form factor pluggable (SFP) trans-ceivers, only the required ports need to be populated. The ACC-5595 SFP transceivers can be a combination of either multimode(short distance) or single-mode (long distance) transceivers. This feature permits a cost saving in small networks as well as system optimization. For larger networks, several ACC-5595 assemblies can be cascaded,permitting a managed hub array with up to 256 nodes. Each port regenerates the serial optical signal, eliminating the problems with insertion losses and cable attenuation. Signal regeneration also reduces jitter. The RS232 port gives you the ability to monitor and control your Reflective Memory network through a simple PC serial port. The Ethernet port feature allows you to monitor and control the hub from great distances through a local area network (LAN) or via a Web browser.

Status information includes the detection of installed transceivers, the detection of signal(light), the detection of valid synchronization patterns and the port operation speed(2 Gb/s). Control registers allow the channel bypass to be based on the absence of a single valid synchronization pattern or multiple synchronization patterns. A bypass can also be based simply on the loss of a signal (light).

In addition, each port can be manually forced either active or bypassed regardless of the status indicators.

Ethernet Controller: 10BaseT interface is compliant with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) standards. Each hub assembly will have a unique MAC address.
