Abstract: COMPUTER CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING TRANSACTIONS TO AND FROM CONTROLLED MACHINES TOOLS A system for controlling a plurality of machine tools in which the central processor communicates data transactions to and from a plurality of tool controllers, each of which is operatively associated with a machine tool. Each of the controllers comprises at least one machine tool control unit which is adapted to provide a digital output to the associated machine tool for controlling a particular tool function and/or for receiving from the machine tool a digital input indicative of a particular tool condition. The central processor has connected thereto a main multiple channel data bus for conducting data transactions by transferring parallel bits of data to and from the processor. The system also includes a plurality of multiple-channel unit data buses, each of which is connected to one of the tool control units. Data distribution apparatus in the system couple the unit data buses to the main data bus from the processor and serve to distribute the processor transactions to and from the specific tool functions of the controlled machine tools. This data distribution apparatus includes means responsive to a set of distribution signals from the central processor for selectively activating one of the tool control units and for selectively activating only BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to digital data controlled systems and more particularly to systems for controlling and monitoring an extensive number and variety of machine tools. With the increasing automation of industry, both in manufacturing and in facilities controlling and monitoring, as well as the ever increasing automation of many aspects of life, both in homes and business offices, there is a constant demand for means for increasing the distribution potential of the central processing unit input/output in order to increase the capability of such central processors

Abstract: Digital control and monitoring system of machine tools has connecting lines, control units and centrally located computer. Connecting lines and control units are assigned to individual machine tools or units. Computer control is exercised on the basis of feedback messages and programmes stored in the computer. A multiple sub-distribution channel is arranged between the central computer (1) and control block (14). It accepts and/or emits signals and is assigned to the machine tools or units. The sub-distribution channel consists of several standardised sub-distribution printed circuit cards which carry out automatically control functions after receiving a command from the central computer (1).
