摘要:
A system for monitoring the logic conditions at the external addressable locations of a programmable controller wherein intermediate memory units are provided for controlling separate input and output locations. The controller periodically sequences the data in the intermediate memory units to maintain the logic conditions in the input and output locations. If the logic conditions are to be updated, the controller obtains access to the sequencing arrangement and changes the logic conditions within the intermediate memory units. Thereafter, the sequencing continues to maintain the desired logic conditions in the input and output locations.

摘要:
A system for providing digital data representative of a selected analog signal on the data lines of a programmable controller using a central processing unit. The system employs a conversion circuit which converts the input analog signal to digital data on output data terminals upon receipt of a conversion signal simultaneously with an analog signal and which creates a completion signal when the conversion is completed. The system can use at least two analog inputs that receive at least two analog conditions and convert a selected one of the analog conditions to an analog signal. Upon actuation of one of the input modules, the selected analog signal of the selected module is directed to the conversion circuit. After conversion, the conversion completion signal of a conversion circuit then deactivates the actuated input module for the next conversion cycle.
