Abstract
An interface control system between a plurality of devices, such as a channel and an I/O device, includes sampling means for high speed sampling input control signals on an interface, a compare circuit for comparing a current sampled value sampled by the sampling means with an expected value for the input control signal previously prepared in the system and with a previously sampled value, respectively, to produce a compare equal signal when the sampled value is equal to the expected value, a matrix logic circuit responsive to the compare equal signal to set an output signal line corresponding to the expected value and an expected value for next sampling, and a circuit to produce a signal indicating an error condition or an exceptional condition when the sampled value is not equal to the expected value and the previous sampled value, to activate another logic circuit.
