ABSTRACT:
A distributed automated control network system consisting of a master host computer, network processing nodes for monitoring and control of work locations and a subhost node which interfaces the nodes and host computer. The subhost includes dual microprocessor configurations on a common bus, one for communications and one for control, operating 180.degree. out of phase. Each node can be configured from a variety of modular subsystems on a common bus including modules for network control, data acquisition, digital and analog inputs and outputs, display terminals and the like in accordance with system requirements. The nodes communicate via two fiber optic channels, one operating clockwise and the other counterclockwise with foldback capability in the event of a fault. A conventional signal back-up is also provided.
