ABSTRACT:
A data transfer device for use in a communications highway includes an integrated bus for transmitting data signals and command signals, an address bus and a control line for transmitting control signals which indicate the presence of command signals and/or data signals on the integrated bus. A bus control point (BCF) allows entities to use the integrated bus based upon request signals received from the entities. In addition, devices are provided to generate commands or data on the integrated bus. The data transfer device in combination with a Network Interface Unit (NIU) and a Machine Interface Unit (MIU) provides an adapter which couples work stations, computers or the like to a local area network (LAN).
