System synchronization that doesnt
impact your application
> Based on GE Fanucs 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.
