And here at t + 1.350 µs

Appears here at t + 450 ns

Written here at t = 0

High speed memory to memory communication between multiple distributed systems with no software overhead

“Shared Memory on a Wire” for truly Distributed Control


> 2.12 gigabaud

> Transfer rates of 43 Mbyte/s to 174 Mbyte/s

> 256 nodes in a ring

> Multi-Mode fiber up to 300m

> Data insertion technique

> Easy to use - Just Memory, Read it & Write it

> Writes are stored in local RAM & immediately broadcast to other nodes

> Each network node has a local copy of all the data

> Reads access the local data copy

> Supports16mb initially of on board memory

> Real-time deterministic data delivery

> Data can be shared among systems regardless of processor type, operating system, bus structure

> Addition modules available for:• 3rd party standard VME systems

• PCI based systems

• Systems requiring beyond 300m up to 10Km

Control Memory Xchange (CMX) Features


CMX Architectures

Ring

Ring: - Data loss with ring cable break or power down

- Single fiber connection between devices

Star:- Use a Control Memory Xchange Hub - Remaining nodes continue communications if cable break or power down

- Up to 8 ports per Hub

PACSystems High Availability with RX7i


PACSystems High Availability> Part of GE Fanuc’s Critical Control offering for process and

people protection

> Prevents an application from not functioning by eliminating common mode failures

> No change in process when switching between control systems

> Fast, full system synchronization on every scan for little impact to overall application

> Looks like one system to the overall operations – no need to service a HMI or other external systems when the application switches control

> Configure, commission, monitor, and maintain with one software package


System synchronization that doesn’t impact your application> Based on GE Fanuc’s Control Memory Xchange technology

• “Shared memory on a wire” at 2.12 gigabaud with no processor overhead to slow down an application

• Up to 16MB memory transfer in less than 0.5 microseconds• 1 or 2 Boards in each control with fiber optic connection up to 300m.

> Systems synchronized at the beginning and end of logic scan execution to keep all variable data the same.


Integrated redundancy at every level>Redundant IP allows you

to seamlessly switch Ethernet connections to iFIX, Plant Edition, or other applications without any additional programming

>With GENIUS LAN, you have your choice of single or dual bus. Either way the I/O follows the controller with no application program required.
