Description
Product Description
The GE IC698CMX016-ED, associated with the VMIVME-5567-000 and 350-005567-000 E part identifiers, is a Control Memory Xchange (CMX) reflective memory module used in compatible GE PACSystems RX7i and VMIC VMEbus control architectures. It enables high-speed, deterministic data sharing among distributed controllers through a fiber-optic network. The module maintains local reflective memory and propagates data updates to other nodes, reducing the need for continuous CPU-managed data transfers. Typical applications include coordinated machine control, multi-controller synchronization, and real-time industrial automation. Verify the complete part number and hardware revision before ordering, as the listed identifiers may represent related versions or configurations.
