Abstract

A network for providing sensing, communications and control is described. A plurality of intelligent cells (27, 28) each of which comprises an integrated circuit having a processor and input/output section are coupled to the network. The cells can be coupled to different media such as power lines, twisted pair, radio frequency, infrared ultrasonic, optical coaxial, etc., to form a network. The preferred embodiment of the cell includes a multiprocessor and multiple I/O subsections where any of the processors can communicate with any of the I/O subsections. This permits the continual execution of a program without potential interruptions caused by interfacing with the I/O section. The I/O section includes programmable A-to-D and programmable D-to-A converters as well as other circuits for other modes of operation.
