Model 7106 peripheral component interconnect (PCI) mezzanine card (PMC) module adds a complete RACEway interface to the PCI bus. RACEway offers a significant advantage for VMEbus systems by providing a high-speed data channel completely independent of the VMEbus. The RACEway communications fabric can span up to 20 VMEbus slots, and, with the ability to provide simultaneous data paths, supports an aggregate transfer rate of more than 1 GB/s. Model 7106 module lets users configure a multi-vendor system platform using a fast, non-proprietary interface solutions.
