I/O Device

GE Fanuc PMC671
PMC	PowerPC	v. 4.0
Market:	military and aerospace
Ethernet

The PMC671, using 1000BaseSX (LX option is available), is capable of full duplex operation. The PMC671 Ethernet/PCI interface includes a powerful DMA engine with very deep FIFO buffers (64K byte). This assures continuous, full bandwidth operation with minimum PCI overhead.

The PMC671 has four flavours of I/O connectivity: SC, LC, VF-45 or MT-RJ—each available with SX or LX options. In addition, card edge PCI systems can be accommodated using GE Fanuc Embedded Systems' PMC239 adapter for rapid prototype and development.

• PCI 64bit/66Mhz
• Single 1000Mbit Fiber Ethernet
• Connector options SC, LC, VF-45 or MT-RJ
• DMA engine
• Full 1000Mbit point to point performance
• 1000BaseSX or 1000BaseLX (optional)
• Jumbo frame capable

Host off-loading features

• Packet filtering based on checksum errors
• SNMP and RMON statistic counters
• Hardware TCP checksum off-loading
• Support for various address filtering modes:
  • 16 exact matches (unicast or multicast)
  • 4096-bit hash filter for multicast frames
  • Promiscuous unicast and promiscuous multicast transfer modes

Low cost, effective interconnect

Two PMC671 boards can be directly cabled with a simple "cross-over." This configuration creates a full duplex 1000Mbit dedicated data path—delivering high bandwidth at very low cost. More complex, dedicated interconnects can be created using a hub or switch. Both point-to-point and switched hubs, in full duplex mode, remove many determinism concerns raised with traditional Ethernet solutions. This makes the PMC671 an excellent candidate for high performance interconnects that require real-time determinism.
