Abstract
The programmable control device is arranged to accept numerical data information from a transducer associated with a particular machine. Selected outputs are stored in addressable tables, including an I/O address table, relative to outputs which are of special interest in a program and which are to be supplied to output devices. The programmable control device, utilizing a micro-computer, responds at high speed to the numerical data and status information from the input devices, selects or calculates the appropriate output, generates visual displays, and periodically couples the addressable tables to the output devices. The control device only requires a scan time of approximately 100 to 500 microseconds and acheives the high speed by processing input data, storing selected output data in addressable tables, and periodically coupling the addressable tables to the output devices.
