ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a high-speed document-processing machine, comprising a diverse-set-compilation section, comprising a burster having a local non-Distributed Control System controller; a reader and an accumulator having a reader/accumulator Distributed Control System Local Control Module; a folder and a diverter having a folder/diverter Distributed Control System Local Control Module; a buffer having a buffer Distributed Control System Local Control Module; wherein all of said Local Control Modules are interconnected via a multi-drop communication link; said burster local non-distributed control system is connected to said reader/accumulator Local Control Module via a communication link; and, said reader/accumulator Local Control Module is a Command Module including means for dynamically controlling the speed of said burster based on the state of one or more variables affecting the speed at which downstream devices can operate.
