Abaco Systems (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms)'s PCIE-5565PIORC-100A00 is a high-speed Fiber Optic Reflective Memory (RFM) node interface card designed for deterministic real-time applications. This card utilizes a low-profile PCI Express bus architecture, features 128MB of onboard high-speed local SDRAM, and supports multimode fiber transmission via a 2.12Gbaud high-speed fiber serial link. Its core function is to establish an ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth (43MB/s to 170MB/s) shared memory network among up to 256 independent computer nodes, ensuring near-instantaneous data synchronization between nodes.
This development board employs a highly transparent software architecture. Data synchronization between nodes is handled automatically by the underlying hardware, requiring no operating system network protocol stack and consuming no CPU resources. Furthermore, it boasts superior program input/output (PIO) read performance, redundant transmission modes, and multiple error suppression mechanisms.
The PCIE-5565PIORC-100A00 General Electric Reflective Memory Card may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Because it enables near-instantaneous and predictable synchronization across different computer architectures and operating systems (such as Windows, Linux, and VxWorks), it is widely used in time-critical environments:
1.Aerospace and flight simulators: Connecting the main cockpit interface, instrument panel displays, and aerodynamic physical model systems to prevent delays during pilot training.
2.Industrial test benches: Connecting engine test benches, automotive dynamometers, and wind tunnels where hundreds of sensor data points must be recorded simultaneously at microsecond intervals.
3.Supervisory Control and Grid Management (SCADA) systems for power plants: Synchronizing real-time protection relays and turbine speed monitoring nodes in large substations to prevent grid cascading failures.
4.High-speed data acquisition and PLC coupling: Enabling instantaneous axis correction communication between distributed PLC logic processors in heavy manufacturing systems (such as aluminum rolling mills).
