NI PCIE-5565-PIORC

Product introduction

The NI PCIE-5565-PIORC is a high-performance reflective memory node card. It belongs to NI’s range of industrial control products, designed to address the need for high-speed, low-latency data sharing in complex automation systems. This card serves as a crucial interface that enables seamless data exchange among up to 256 independent systems.

The PCIE-5565-PIORC uses its onboard SDRAM, which can be configured as 128MB or 256MB, to store and quickly access data. When data is written, it is not only stored in the local SDRAM but also broadcast over a high-speed fiber-optic data path to other nodes in the reflective memory network. This data transfer between nodes is software transparent, meaning it requires no additional I/O overhead from the processor. As part of NI’s industrial control solutions, it provides a reliable and efficient data-sharing platform for various industrial applications.

Core advantages and technical highlights

High-Speed Data Transfer: The NI PCIE-5565-PIORC offers an impressive data transfer rate, ranging from 43MB/s for single long-word access to a whopping 170MB/s in 64-byte burst mode. This high speed ensures that data is shared in real-time, making it suitable for applications where timely data exchange is critical.

Low Latency: With a latency of only 450 to 500 nanoseconds between nodes, the card enables deterministic data transfer. This low latency is essential for applications such as real-time control systems, where delays can lead to inefficiencies or even system failures.

Scalability: Supporting up to 256 independent systems, the PCIE-5565-PIORC can be easily integrated into large-scale industrial networks. Whether it’s a growing manufacturing plant or a complex research facility, this card can adapt to the increasing demands for data sharing.

Reliability: It features redundant transfer mode, which adds an extra layer of error suppression. Additionally, it has error detection capabilities, protecting against data loss and ensuring the integrity of the shared data.

Flexible Memory Configuration: The option to configure the onboard SDRAM as either 128MB or 256MB allows users to tailor the card’s performance according to their specific application requirements.

Typical application scenarios

In industrial automation, the NI PCIE-5565-PIORC is invaluable. In manufacturing plants, it can be used to synchronize data between different production lines. For example, in an automotive assembly line, data from various sensors on different workstations need to be shared in real-time. The PCIE-5565-PIORC enables this seamless data transfer, ensuring that the assembly process runs smoothly and efficiently.

In power generation facilities, it can connect different control systems. For instance, data from the turbine control system and the generator monitoring system can be shared using this card. This helps in optimizing the power generation process, improving overall plant performance, and ensuring grid stability.

In flight simulators, where high-speed and accurate data transfer is crucial, the PCIE-5565-PIORC can connect different simulation modules. It allows for real-time sharing of data related to aircraft dynamics, avionics systems, and environmental conditions, providing a more realistic simulation experience for pilots in training.
