2. Software-Transparent Data Sharing: Writes to local memory automatically broadcast to all network nodes; no application-layer communication code required, reducing CPU overhead。
3. Redundant Dual Fiber Ring: Features redundant fiber paths; automatic failover ensures uninterrupted data transmission if one fiber path fails。
4. High-Bandwidth Data Transfer: Supports up to 170 MB/s sustained throughput, ideal for high-volume real-time data such as sensor streams and simulation data。
5. Large-Scale Network Support: Scales to 256 nodes per ring, enabling deployment in large distributed control and simulation systems。
6. Multimode Fiber Compatibility: Uses cost-effective multimode fiber for distances up to 300 meters, suitable for on-site industrial networks。
7. Robust Error Protection: Implements hardware CRC checks and data loss detection, ensuring data integrity in high-noise industrial environments。
8. Wide Industrial Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C, adapting to extreme industrial conditions。
9. Plug-and-Play PCIe Interface: Connects to standard PCIe slots (x4/x8/x16) for easy integration into industrial PCs and servers。
10. Field-Upgradable Firmware: Supports firmware updates via software, enabling feature enhancements without hardware replacement。
