Description
Product Overview
The GE VMIACC-5595-208 is a high-performance reflective memory hub assembly designed for real-time data synchronization in mission-critical industrial automation and distributed control systems. As part of GE’s VMIxxx-5565 reflective memory product line, this module serves as a central networking component, enabling seamless communication between multiple nodes in applications requiring sub-microsecond data transfer. With eight Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver ports, the GE VMIACC-5595-208 supports both multimode (short-distance) and single-mode (long-distance) fiber optic connections, ensuring flexibility in network deployment across industrial plants, power grids, and defense systems418.
Engineered with 2 Gb/s data transfer rates and automatic node bypass capabilities, the GE VMIACC-5595-208 maintains network integrity by dynamically rerouting data around faulty or disconnected nodes. This feature is critical for applications such as turbine control systems, where downtime can lead to catastrophic failures. The hub’s managed switch functionality allows users to configure network parameters via an integrated 10BaseT Ethernet TCP/IP port or RS232 serial interface, enabling remote monitoring and diagnostic interventions1419.
In automation ecosystems, the GE VMIACC-5595-208 acts as a backbone for distributed systems, facilitating real-time data sharing between PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems. Its 1U rack-mount design ensures space-efficient integration into industrial cabinets, while -40°C to +85°C extended temperature support (select variants) makes it suitable for extreme environments like oil rigs and aerospace facilities1820.

Key Features and Advantages
High-Speed Data Synchronization: The GE VMIACC-5595-208 delivers 2 Gb/s data throughput, ensuring real-time data sharing between geographically dispersed nodes. This is critical for applications like power plant synchronization and robotic control systems, where millisecond delays can compromise safety420.
Fault-Tolerant Design: The hub automatically bypasses failed nodes, maintaining network continuity without manual intervention. This self-healing capability reduces downtime by up to 90% compared to traditional daisy-chained configurations1419.
Flexible Networking Options: With support for multimode and single-mode fiber optics, the hub adapts to both short-range (e.g., factory floors) and long-range (e.g., 跨厂区) communication needs. Cascading functionality allows seamless expansion of networks to hundreds of nodes1820.
Remote Management: The Ethernet TCP/IP interface enables configuration and monitoring via GE’s Proficy iFIX or third-party software, while the RS232 port supports local diagnostics. This dual connectivity simplifies maintenance in distributed systems1419.
Ruggedized Construction: Built to withstand vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures, the GE VMIACC-5595-208 meets IP40 standards and is ATEX/IECEx-certified for hazardous environments, ensuring reliability in oil refineries and chemical plants1820.
