The present invention relates to a data processing system. Specifically, the present invention addresses a completely dynamic, electronic data «· processing systems.

1. Object and application of the invention A. General

Ss is to present the basic purpose of the present invention to provide means oit high performance at low ^cost: welohe sponsors who major in storing capacity is stored to constantly keep up to date and allow selectively process shown below. In order to have a reasonably short access time to this data, rotating disk storage devices are preferably used as large volume storage devices for these purposes other short-term recurring functions are based, in which extensive data are to be brought up to date, and where only a selection to be selected from the sequence of the data in the individual tasks to be carried out is required. For this last-mentioned reason, the data must be obtained quickly, they must be processed in quick, eioh repetitive adjustments and other operations in order to arrive at effective decisions, whereby the possibility of immediate human intervention is always retained. The decisions based on the facts produced can result in further changes to the data or data processing processes, which can also relate to other data that are determined by the decisions.These other data can then be obtained in the same way, changed and inserted into the old data or other data, taking their order into account.

The systems that have so far been used for this area of application can be divided into three classes · 3Ue first category sound Systems for these applications is the Magnetband-Kemspeioher-Sy β system, in which the information units of the data Ia one Order are arranged according to their compiled maps, z.

The solution of the problems in the systems of the first class · has the advantage «that they are honest with those of the Loehlcartoneytiteine», characteristic here »that all kinds of details and sums are logged through previous · sorting and mixing operations · systems of the first class allow the processing of very large ones due to the interchangeability of the Kagnotbond memories. Amounts of information. These systems, however, have a tail part, which is justified "because the work depends very much on the relationship" between the number of information units that are present on the magnetic tape storage and are required for the work, and the total number of information units that on the magnetic tape storage device · A small ratio automatically leads to long idle periods during which the undesired information units have to be skipped. Only in the case of work that recurs in long periods of time, such as the non-regular processing of data, does a favorable ratio arise between the number of information units required and the information units available, so that such work is economically justifiable wasted by idle times when for short term repetitive work like. the hourly or daily processing of actions or for decision-making functions of little data from very many! requests must be found out quickly · This is particularly noticeable with calculators that are used for processing very large amounts of data "" whether! but the newly acquired data to -stehen very kurser Since ex "Verfngung ·

This is the solution to the aforementioned third reading of ketenes always advantageous «if short-term hair research is to be carried out in a short time» and if such examinations can be traced back to previous magnetic bane operations. In addition, there are advantages »if asked« honestly one after the other for different purposes In which I data preprocessing are required »but otherwise only eln & al in processed Pora su» purposes of simplification are saved ·

The combination of the different possibilities does not, however, eliminate the disadvantages of the magnetic tape system near the called first haters »as soon as poles of information units are to be selected in a short time» and when these data then switched over to vUases under the conditions of a magnetic tape system, but old of the possibility of direct access.

It is clear that not everything in a manufacturing plant can follow the established schedules, the capacity of the Machines are not being exploited internally in the best way, nor is it always available according to the plan. A flexible and adaptable planning and control therefore requires a constant management system B3 to B9 in the Data acquisition and processingJttr the planning and monitoring period.

During the planning period, the details for financial accounting generally require considerable information changeover operations when investments for new facilities, changes in the production program or other projects that require special attention have to be taken into account the general data are used, but for the exceptional data it is necessary to carry out a very detailed financial plan and a close observation of the actual data and any deviations, divided into the periods. Very often, and especially under such conditions, a great need for conversion work may be necessary for the information for intended payments during the current period - which of course can also apply to general data that have been exposed to the influence of the clerk .

The analytical data for sales planning and control are also found in overviews of inquiries and orders * which are divided into periods, product groups, products, sales areas and customer types, ¹ as is nooh in further details in Tables IXa and IZb for individual order processing is shown.

The planning and control of individual order processing requires a constant overview and tracking of the Overview of inquiries and orders in close cooperation with production planning and control. The overview of the factual issue allows the sales efforts to be directed towards specific individual prospects which regarding the product »of the customer, the possibilities in the application, the available capacity and the profit limits may vary. The required information usually carries the detailed information in sioh, like this shown in Table IXa. The overview and the tracking require that each sum information in the detailed information can be broken down, and it is in the nature of things that such requests for detailed information lines can be made at any time and at random. Because only some of all inquiries result in an order »constant revision is necessary ·

D. About exchange of information between departments and organizations .

Bio economic efficiency of document or document processing should determine whether a centralized or a decentralized or a mixed series storage system is to be preferred in the individual case. According to a general rule, documents should to a certain extent have to be constantly processed »if they are in the same or similar form of data organization by different users, Preferably used in the same company and in the same place, be shared if this is technically nöglioh is · Solohe documents can e.g. B * Reference documents (A1 »Vig« 1) such as B. Contain addresses of customers If the documents are available to the users in a central location, a central department or one of the users must take responsibility for the data revision · If against it If the information is mainly used in a department or by a user, this department or the user is given responsibility and gets auoh given the option to save new data and delete data, while certain other users only have that.

A second concern concerns systems in which the Work series memories from different places in Shnlioher Wgise and depending on requests that have an access to need series of information to be influenced, e.g. B, when booking a seat in civil aviation. A such a system should be divided in such a way that access and control of input and readout is monitored decentrally

The third principle is that if a working memory system (memory B1 in FIG. 1) is available to different departments after the serial access system, the one individual possibility of influencing the working of the system and need to take responsibility for recording and erasing data as well as the data it contains for data processing is subordinate to these and only these departments. Certain other departments only have the right and the opportunity to provide information ask; the decision whether to use a centralized or a decentralized system * should only be made by the economic ones Considerations are illuminated and decided.

It is an object of the invention to provide inexpensive processing means for daa Sorting »Mixing, Suohening of information and for the To watch me recklessly process information. These Gowns are particularly good for information from administrative type. In such an application, the advantages of the Oeso management principle appear on the individual Responsibility and the scheduling of the serial memory work system, both technically and economically achievable, there the main part of the processing is not the repetitive processing of information which In a work and program memory with non-direct access we have this in the mathematical boutines of Pall let · Se

The capabilities of the inner storage system of universal Calculators are therefore seldom exploited while the limitation of the systems in the access eu input and output information in central processing with only one "Look forward to serial memories with processing in parallel independent paging obviously lot

If, on the other hand, scientific work has the greater share of the work, the use of a central buffer memory and calculating machines can be economical are the units with independent data processing in serial memories in the Permian, as they are described in this invention outlined, of great advantage as a preparatory input means, as well as as a user-oriented output means in the Output channels «in a central system.

Although, as has already been especially mentioned in the tables, the data required for the working documents of the various departments differ greatly differentiate and also our own processing methods with regard to the required detail information, grouping and the Verarboltungo period, it is obvious that between the serial spokes of the various business areas A closed network for data exchange should be available for planning and monitoring tasks

The great influence of sales figures on sales planning and control as well as on production planning and control and. therefore also on purchasing and financial planning and S time tion as well as the influence in the opposite direction let it be obvious, and there is a very great need for help from calculators to deal with the complex relationships

Of the ' crst ^ impulse of a FoI ^ e of eight bit clock impulses is thus the character clock pulse.

In the explanations, a "Fixed FiId" contains eight zoiches Positions. As a result, the first Charnctor clock pulse is one Sequence of eight character clopk impulses at the same time Felcl clock pulse. The time between two field-clock-Impulson is the field time. An information unit of fixed length contains 128 characters or 16 "fixed" fields.

The present invention provides a nesting system for The recording and data processing used is every Bit-time divided into. Sub-bit-times. In the present

• is. The bit timo remains viv received so far, but it contains four unahhängi ^ o bit Positionon. The four independent bit positions within a bit time are defined by the subbit clock. The time between two consecutive; the sub-bit clock pulse is the sub-bit time. The bit times, f5ub-bit zoites etc. all depend on the bit repetition rate. If one takes the bit sequence with 1 IfHz nn for the purpose of the more detailed explanation, the result is slow times, since it is also assumed that the system works with four channels or four sub-bit timers.

. One bit-timo is the time between two up-and-coming echoing bits and is vior microseconds. A sub-bit time is the time between awei on one another

Sends sub-bit positions and amounts to o inc microseconds. Half a character-ti-me is the time between ixhon thorn first and the fourth bit of a FoI ßo of four consecutive and related bits; 3ic affects 16 micro-oc-customers. * Iiiho half character-time is therefore vior bit-timos long. ' A character time is 32 microsckundons and is the time between the first and your eighth bit a sequence of eight consecutive bits. Aqht Bittine has a character time s and 32 sub-bit times and is abbreviated to «not. So a bit has vior sub-bits, a character has eight bit positions, so that within a char act or tinui 32 sub-bit

- times are available.

As already described, a fixed field contains 8 character positions, a field has 1-8 character positions Information units are available with up to 128 character positions. Am Wort is a field of variable length and always shorter than a unit of information. Mn sector is larger than a unit of information. In a spoof track; · up to four information units can be stored, so that 5 ^ 2 characters are then stored within one memory track are. In some illustrations it has been assumed that ί two information units are stored in each memory track can be. Since the characters are nested 4 times, ' 16 information units with 2048 characters in one storage track » get saved. On one surface of the storage disk, j

Every piece of information that is transported for a data transfer is preceded by a sequence of time impulses which have the task of controlling the transmission. Each time impulse sequence also serves to synchronize the information, The time pulses or the syncbronisiorimpulsfol ^ cn are on the control line, while the information pulses are in the information lines.

The leading edge of each bit-cloek pulse logs the beginning of a bit-time. As clearly shown in flow 2b, the sub-bit clock is only a delayed bit clock. The sub -bit-clock 1 is separated from the bit-timeclock and delayed in relation to it · The bit-clock must precede the sub-bit-clock in order to switch the circuits within the data processing system exactly The rotating memory is equipped with a special clock memory track in order to record the data to be stored on the other memory tracks in a predefined relation to the clock.5 A special memory track contains the bit clock, another special memory track contains the subbit clock.

The FI't. 3 shows tile bit-clock and the sub-bit-clock memory tracks. If no memory track is provided for the sub-bit clock, it is used by the bit clock with a delay circuit derived. The various sub-bit clocks do not have to be stored on different storage tracks will. The various sub-bit clocks can be derived from the bit clock by delaying the pulses for specific times will. The bit clock pulses can be transmitted from the sub-bit

FIG. 4 shows the derivation of the sub-bit clock r.ug Jer Bit-clock. As in FIG. 4 *, delay means are used to obtain the sub-bit clock from the bit clock. FIG. 5 shows the extraction of the bit clock from the sub-bit clock. As in FIG. 5, a counter is used to obtain the bit clock from the sub-bit clock. The shortest time between two bits is the sub-bit time, which can be referred to as a micro-time unit. JDin clock pulse generator generates Ί MHz pulses, ie 1,000,000 pulses per second. These pulses pass through a shift register with four triggers and generate four different 250 kHz signals, ie 250,000 pulses per second. The four 250 kHz signals are referred to as sub-bit clock 1, sub-bit clock 2, sub-bit clock 3 and sub-bit clock 4-.

Its information ^ can always be synchronized by one of these four sub-bit clocks at a time. As a result, the sub-bit clock of an item of information can be used as a characteristic sign of this item of information. In other words, a first group of information can be stored in the sub-bit clocks 1 and 2, while a second group of information can be connected to the sub-bit clocks and 4. Between the individual sub-bit clocks there is a time difference of a lükrosekundo.

In the preliminary sizing system of the present invention, the information units are stored in dynamic memories. As described herein, the bits in the different sub-bit tincs of a bit sequence belong to different information units and are independent of one another. FIG. shows such a nested system. The notification system of FIG. 6 uses 4 sub-bit digits. As in FIG. 6, the bits of the characters of an information unit 1 are positioned in the sub-bit time 1. The bits of the characters of an information unit 2 are stored in the same locations as corresponding bits of the information unit 1, but they are in the Sub-bit time 2. The bits of the characters of the information unit 3 are also in the same places as the corresponding bits of the information unit Λ , but they are positioned in the sub-bit zone 3. The bits of the characters of an information unit 4 · are stored in the same locations as corresponding bits of information unit 1, but they are positioned in sub-bit time 4. '·

The four sub-bit zoitons of a bit time can also be used in a group control process .

The Fcld-Ende-Signal is always in the Sub-bit-ZeiJf in which the associated field is also. Since the format is a sequence of end-of-word signals, it simultaneously indicates the length of the information unit. Each field end signal can change its position over 24 bit times in order to vary the length of the relevant field. Each field or word of an information unit has a specific coding in the format memory track.

D. Information Interleaving

A number of information units, the bits of which follow each other in an order, can be stored in a dynamic memory. A sequence of information units, the characteristics of which are arranged in ascending or descending order, is referred to as an information unit stream. So that a simultaneous access to each information unit on a dynamic memory is possible, as many Le-? Aeeinrichtung are provided as information units can be stored on dom memory. The distance between consecutive reading devices is equal to the fixed length of the information units and is called the sector. A sector clock pulse belongs to each sector. The time between two successive sector clock pulses is the information unit time, abbreviated to Iü-timo.

" The signals should not be superimposed from one track to another. If there is more than one track in the memory, each connection can be multiplied in order to write bits »as will be described below *

Assume that there are one track and eight entry points , and that the 3672 rotary memory has four tracks. A track 3673a works as a track & ur display for the bit spaces. A track 3673b works as an information track. Sine track 3673o works as a sector pulse trace, a trace 3673d works ale sign signal track. The tracks of the rotary memory are divided into eight sectors and can store information about also information units, each of which * has a maximum length of 128 lines, in η every 8 track for information about information units.

If a bit is to be stored in a sector of the track 3673a, the bit space in which this bit is to be stored is read out by the reading head 3674a for the selected sector.

This pulse is emitted via line 3682 the USD-iorsehision 3675 to a trigger level or a Transmit flip-flop 3681 to sense the value of at least the last bit stored in that flip-flop.

Simultaneously with the writing or storage of the information unit bit in the track 3673b by the signal head 3679 the pulse that has been read by the signal head 3674a, via the line 3676, IEGi ^ gate circuit 3683, over the line 3684, the delay line 3685 and an amplifier 3686 are transmitted to an erase head 3687 so that the Bit signal that has just been read is deleted. The delay line 3685 provides a delay time which corresponds to the time it takes for a signal to travel from the signal head 3674a to the signal head 3687.

Instead of the pulse that has already been read and deleted, a new pulse is now stored in track 3673a. This new bit pulse is shifted by one bit and shows hence the position of the next following bit. The recording of the bit signals is controlled by the output signals of the AND gate circuit 3683, which is transmitted via a line 3689 via a delay line 36911 an OR gate circuit 3692 and an amplifier 3693 is transmitted to a write head 3688. This process only takes place when a trigger signal or flip-flop 3694 has received a signal from the corresponding input port. in the In other cases, the 3694 flip-flop blocks the AND torso posture 3683 via line 3695 »eo that the bit pulse is stored remain.

The input bit that is supplied by the input terminal, can temporarily coincide with the impulse that the flip-flop 3681 via line 3682 and an ÜHD torso posture 3696 feels. Since in such a case the signal does not follow the

Delay in the flip-flop 3681 needs to be delivered, can the bit pulse supplied from the input terminal, are transmitted on a lift-to-close path via the line 3697 and the ÜND-0? or circuit 3698 »which is opened by the sensing pulse» The pulse then reaches the line 3699 · In order to avoid the duplication of pulses, the output signal of the TJND gate circuit 3698 is controlled via the UIID gate circuit 3701, which is blocked when on line 3699 a signal is present, this is carried out via an inverter 3702, which always emits an output signal when it is not receiving any input signal.

k Both the direct and the lift-off path for the signal transmission are in an OR circuit 3703 with one another tied together. The signal coming from OR gate 3703 is sent via a coordination OR torso posture 3704 to the eight input tracks or channels transmit »the old de» Print head 3679 work together · The flip-flop 5681 will switched back to KuIl by a sensing pulse when he has previously been switched back to the 1 state · The The signal input channels are controlled selectively for the various input connections by the sector counter 3678, driven by the sector timer pulses in track 3673c. The sector timer pulses are sensed by a 3674c Leeekopf and transmitted to the 3678 sector counter via a line 3707.

The sector pulses are also used as the initial condition of a new information unit in order to correctly arrange the first bit of information about the information units in accordance with these initial conditions for writing in such a sector. The signal head 36741 therefore continuously senses each information unit and determines whether the stored (cell of the information about information units contains a signal that means "find an information unit. The signal about the bathing one."

Information unit can be the signal EI, if the entire Information unit is to be stored in the sub-sector in a sequence of entering characters But it can also be the signal which means the end of a word. Then this signal can pass through in a field operation the storage of the information can be recorded on the information unit «

When one of these signals is received by a signal detection circuit 3706 is supplied, a signal is transmitted over line 3709 to the UHD gate circuit 3711. Between line 3709 and the UlJD gate 3711 is a delay line 3712 switched. The next following sector pulse is passed through the OR circuit 3692 and the amplifier 3693 to the write head 3683 transferred.

The delay line has a delay time which is somewhat shorter than the duration of one revolution, that is to say somewhat shorter than 8 milliseconds, since in the present example the number of revolutions is 20 revolutions per second. Via a line 3714 a flip-flop 3713 © in pulse is fed after it has been delayed in the delay line 3715. This delay line is controlled by a signal which means the end of the information or the end of the word of information about the information unit. From this signal about the end of the information or the end of a word from the information about the information units, the flip-flop 3713 remains in the 1 state from the beginning of the sector to the end of the same sector, which is connected to the selected input connection, for example m ± x the fifth üJingangsansohluß collaborated the flip-flop 3713 opens the UffD torso pose 3716 for the duration of a sector time to enable the transmission of the complete information about the information unit into another memory.

Since the characters are arranged in their usual order, in which they were keyed in on a keyboard (not shown)

109852/1546

they can for example be arranged so that at the beginning the highest priority is arranged. However, in order to be able to carry out arithmetic series processes, this sequence must be reversed »V / ^ nn that is required, the recording can be done the supply of bits of information units stored in track 3673b of processing memory 3672 should only be done field by field. In this case, the UHD gate circuit 3717 blocked at the moment in which the £ uu « of a field signal is supplied to the signal detection circuit 3708. The signal detection circuit 3708 outputs the Lines 3709 and 3718 from a signal which passes through an inverter 3719 and the UiID gate circuit 3717 blocks.

A counter 3721 counts the character pulses from the beginning of information to the end of the information unit and indicates the length of the information about the information unit. A counter 3722 therefore indicates the characters that are used during the transmission period are read out. Both counters 3721 and 3722 jointly determine the required delays via a matrix 3723 for the various characters to reverse the entire character of the field in such a way that the threshold of the lowest job order of the field read first or is stored so that arithmetic operations can be carried out are. This is in contrast to the order in which the information is entered from the keyboard (Not shown).

The character delay lines controlled by the UHD torso postures 3724a to 3724d control the delay period and the bit timer unit of a trigger stage or flip-flop 3725 controls the field delay. At the end of this recording operation, a sector pulse from track 3673c resets a trigger stage or flip-flop 3726 to zero. An AND gate circuit 3727 is opened in this way via the line 3728 so that the counter 3721 can count again or advance to determine the various lengths of the words and the number of characters with the aid of the drawing numbers.

109852/1546

control timing pulses in track 3673d. This control depends on the end-of-word signal which is stored in track 3673d and which can be sensed by head 3674d This signal is then fed to the UHD gate circuit 3727 via line 3729.

The information unit need not be delayed. she rather, it can also be stored in the reverse order in track 3673b. The signals are all sensed and shifted backwards by one bit and the last one Bit to be stored is always placed at the beginning of the sector. Also the signals of each digit will be in the opposite direction in order to obtain a direct reversal of the signal after each storage of a bit.

The matrix is responsive to a first set of control signals determined by the normal or first sequence of characters. In addition, the matrix responds to a second control signal ID set, which is made up of the second or the desired sequence of the characters determined. The matrix then sends control signals to the AND gate switches so that the characters are in the desired Sequence can be transferred to the memory »

B. Transfer to rotating storage

FIG. 148 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of a transmission arrangement with which information can be transmitted to a rotating memory. In the Arrangement according to FIG. 148, the information from the information units is sent to the The rotating memory continues to be kept at a bit rate that ranges from zero to the synchronization bit rate of the rotating memory. The bite the information from information units is transmitted to a 1 input of a bit storage flip-flop 3737 via line 3637 fed. The bit memory flip ELop 3737 is sensed by the bit pulse on line 3738 that causes this flip. - flop

The time pulse for the query bit in the tlND-T or circuit 3742 resets the bit memory flip-flop 3737 only if there is no information bit of an information unit in the line 3736. This is controlled in such a way that a pulse which is present on the line 3736, this pulse from this line via a line 3743 and an inverter

3744 to the AND gate circuit 3742 is performed. The UHD gate circuit 3742 is then blocked, so that the interrogation pulse on line 3741 does not reach the O input of the bit storage flip-flop 3737 can reach. D .8 is due to the fact that the inverter 3744 always emits no signal when at its input a signal is present.

A pulse 8 on line 3738 reaches OR gate 3739 at the same time as the bit interrogation pulse transmitted over the line

3745 and a delay line 3746 is supplied · The delayed bit pulse on line 3747 corresponds to the machine timer pulse. Since the information pulse in the line 3736 can switch the bit memory pulse 3737 to the 1 state, the information pulse reaches the memory flip-flop at the same time. the interrogation pulse. The interrogation or bit pulse is carried over the line 3733 to with the aid of the delayed bit interrogation pulse over the line 3745, the delay line 3746, the OR circuit 3739, the line 3741 and the AND gate circuit 3732 the flip-flop 3737 · to switch back to zero.

The output signal from the bit memory flip-flop 3737 is in any case arranged precisely in time with the machine clock, provided that the switching arrangement is considered, which ait the 0 output

this bit memory is connected. The output signal of the bit storage flip-flop 3737 »because the 0 output is converted into a small pulse in a univibrator 3743» Da3 signal from the univibrator 3748 is fed to an AND gate circuit 3749 Ubor a line 3751 when the bit memory flip-flop eats been retrieved 3737 from a Vorabfrageimpulqaus the line 5738, which also includes the aND gate 3749 controls "the output signal is delivered also from dder aND gate 3749 via Verzögerungevorrichtungen 3753 to an output line 3752, which shifts the machine clock time. In addition, the output signal goes to the OR gate circuit 3754. If de? Bit storage flip-flop 3737 is queried by a pulse, which is fed to it by delay device 3746, the autogang signal of univibrator 3748 is fed via line 3755 and the AND gate circuit 3756 and line 3757 to the OR gate circuit 3754 . The AND torso posture 3756 is controlled by the delayed interrogation pulse on line 3747.

The signal that is fed to line 3752 therefore always corresponds to the machine clock and builds a character, since it is passed via the UIJD gate circuits 3759a to 3759h to a circular memory 3758, the capacity of which is eight bits. These UHD gates are controlled by the machine clock and a time counter 3761. The UHD gates 3759a to 3759h are controlled by the counter 3761 in such a way that the incoming bits are stored in the character circulating memory 3753 in chronological order. At the same time, a signal is fed through a line 3762 to a counter 3763 and through a line 3764 to a trigger stage or a flip-flop 3765. The task of the flip-flop 3765 is to interrupt the countdown of the time count in the counter 3761, which is advanced by one step for each incoming bit pulse from the time pulse via the line 3766 and the UHD gate circuit 3767 . The flip-flop 3765 is supplied from the Zeitgeberimpule in the conduit

109852/1546

3766 is reset via a delay device 3768 and a line 3769. The output of the counter 3763 indicates when the number of bits " required to represent a character, i. that is, eight bits including the spacing is complete, so that the character circulating memory 3758 stores exactly one character. The output signal from the counter 3763 is fed to a UIID SPore circuit 3771 via a line 3772. The And-Sorso posture 3771 is controlled by the draw timer pulse on line 3773

When eight bits are supplied, ie after the seventh bit and after the space for the character , the flip-flop 3774 is switched to the 1 state by the next character timer pulse, so that the UHD gate circuit 3775 opens. The UHD circuit 3776 simultaneously blocks the return line 3777 of the circular memory 3758. The information stored in the character circular memory 3758 is then transmitted through the AND circuit 3775 and the line 3778 to another memory 3779. The AND gate circuit 3781 is for resetting the flip-flop "3774 prepared by a signal on line 3782 which originates 1-Auegang of Plip-flop 3774 of dea. The flip-flop 3774 is switched back to zero by the next following drawing timer pulse on line 3773.

The switch arrangement 3783, shown by broken lines , is repeated one more time in broken lines. This indicates the switching arrangement 3779. Both switching arrangements are used for caching according to the AB method . The circuit arrangement 3779, which is indicated by broken lines, is constructed in the same way as the circuit arrangement 3783, only in the memory 3779 the circulating memory has a capacity of eight characters · This corresponds to the usual number of characters within a group used for such purposes will.

109852/1546

The output of the word circulation memory 3759 can be different Memory circuit which is constructed in the same way as in the switching arrangement 3783. This other memory circuit can be used to summarize four (or eight) words at a time. The circulating storage of such Switching arrangement can have four read heads and one write head. Another switching arrangement can be connected to the output of this last-mentioned switching arrangement which can have a complete signal track with eight heads, the mutual spacing of which is 32 characters (or 64 Characters). This enables operation as a circulating storage unit by simply rotating the track, provided that it is Track has a circumference of 200 points and 265 characters.

With the switching arrangement according to FIG. 143, it is possible to have a to arrange asynchronous input signal so that it is within a normal information unit of usual length in the can be stored in the correct memory locations. Similar components are used in this circuit arrangement. aside from that the full character speed of the processing memory is used for the transmission, e.g. 120,000 Characters per second. If several signal heads are used to subdivide the circular memory or the tracks, and if you switch these heads via the AND gate system, is it possible to easily change the bits to characters, PeI-. dem and to assemble groups of fields in order to transfer the traces between & asy & ohron working dynamic Save in any controllable way,

C. Asynchronous input and multi-channel input

Since a computer very often has to connect bit memories or input keyboards which are arranged outside the memory, a connection arrangement is used to input the information supplied. It is extremely rare that external memories or external input devices have the same timing as the Heohner processing the data, especially when the information is about

! Telephone lines or similar connections are transmitted over long distances. In such a P & ll, the timing of the information supplied is very slow, provided that it is compared with the timing of the computer β. The information must therefore be transmitted in such a way that it is set up bit by bit into characters, character by character into fields and field by field to form a complete information unit. This can be done as shown by the asynchronous input stage from Figure 149.

As already said, the timing of the information is kept compared to the time cycle of the computer moving the machine very low · It is also possible to operate several inputs at the same time, as it is in conjunction is described with the multiplex input nooh. In this pail it is assumed that at the time of an Ita rotation of the rotating memory only one information bit is supplied per input connection. There the rotating spear can be divided into several sectors, each sector can be electrically connected to one of the inputs. Assuming that the number of sectors is 8 or 16, then 8 or 16 keyboards can have one input stage be adjusted. In contrast, the first illustrated synchronous input stage is practically independent of the bit rate at which the information is supplied will. It is only necessary that the bit rate at which the information is supplied be lower than that Bit rate in the machine 1st.

The operator begins each word with dom hoarding "signal and ends each Word with a similar signal drawn as "EW" is. The Etf signal is only used for the transmission of the word to the memory if the words eu information units with a fixed length are to be combined.

The task of the cultiplex input stage is to change the poles of the bits within the words and characters, and to insert the bits in the appropriate bit density eusaa · Since the bits are nil; a low bit rate are fed, a plurality of keypads are connected to the same multiplex stages H. The MaItI plexing stage has one or more memory blocks, uza assembling the bits. Each track is divided into sectors. Each sector corresponds to a key pad. When the length of a pride is set to 1 and is 8 characters, a track can have 32 sectors. If the length of the field is variable, the entire information unit is arranged in the track, so that only two sectors equal two key fields. However, if a nested system is used, it is possible that there are four information units in each sector. First of all, it will now be described how information contents are susasmengesstst with fixed field lengths, and then the handling of variable fields is described.

Each bit supplied is first stored in a bit memory until the sector corresponding to the corresponding Ytsten-

Those bits which are already stored in the S ^ iitor s ^ must therefore for a bit location shifted v / earth. This makes it possible for everyone insert new bit at the same time. The bit sequence changes during this doorway. The button field therefore generates a bit sequence which is highly unconventional iot

At the end oin-s of each word there is an EW symbol. S3 is detected if it is stored in the track, The EW signal is the start signal for the transmission dea V / ortes for the track for putting words together. There are two such traces for putting words together intended. One track is intended for the first four inputs, and the second track for the next four Entrances.
