    摘要: A sequence in the control apparatus of a copy machine performs sequence timing control of electronic equipment in a predetermined order and includes a counter for counting timing pulses received from an external device. A comparison register is included in the controller for comparing a count of the counter with data stored in a memory. The controller may also include a means for designating a channel in correspondence with a control object or a means for designating a channel in accordance with a program preset during the initialization of the equipment. Comparison data may be provided as a ROM code and transmitted to a data area in accordance with the control object preset at initialization so as to be selectively used.

    摘要: A graphical user interface system for a thermal comfort controller. The user interface system has a central processing unit coupled to a memory and a touch sensitive display unit. The memory stores a temperature schedule data structure and perhaps a temperature history data structure. The temperature schedule data structure is made up of at least one set-point. The temperature history data structure is made up of at least one Actual-Temperature-Point. The display presents the set-points and/or the Actual-Temperature-Points. One representation of the display is a graphical step-function. The user uses a finger or stylus to program the set-points by pointing and dragging a portion of the step-function.

    摘要: A method and associated apparatus for using a content addressable memory (CAM) to process timed events in a process control application. A time value field in each CAM entry identifies the time at which a corresponding event is to be processed. An event identifier field in each CAM entry identifies the event to be processed. A time value generator applies signals indicative of a time value to the CAM. The CAM returns as data on its output signal paths any entries whose time value fields correspond to the applied time value signals. The event identifier field applied to the output signal paths of the CAM is then applied to the process controller to identify an event to be processed. The methods and apparatus of the present invention are applicable, for example, in communication controller devices wherein a protocol requires timed event processing for standardized communications (e.g., Fibre Channel or FDDI). In addition, the apparatus and methods may be applied to computer controlled processes to relieve the CPU of the overhead processing burden of processing interrupts corresponding to "timer ticks" unrelated to any event. In addition, application of the present invention to computer process control applications (including operating system processing of timed events) relieves the CPU of the processing overhead associated with creating, searching, and maintaining list or queue data structures for the scheduled events.

    摘要: A programmable electronic real-time load controller includes: a plurality of load control circuits, each being adapted to be interconnected with a load; a hardware clock; and, a programmed data processor for responding to real-time information from the hardware clock to effect control of the status of each load control circuit in accordance with a predetermined time schedule that has been entered into the data processor. The data processor includes: a CPU; a program memory; an event memory; and a plurality of ports which permit a plurality of devices, including a keyboard, a plurality of displays, and the hardware clock, to interchange information with the data processor. The event memory includes a plurality of event memory locations for storing one or more control events and corresponding event times for each load. The CPU is operative: to enter control events and corresponding event times, upon actuation of the keyboard, into the event memory; to obtain real-time information from the hardware clock; to address and search the event memory locations to effect comparison, for each load, of the event times therein with the real-time information; and, to control the status of each load control circuit in accordance with that one of the control events whose corresponding event time occurs at or immediately preceding the time represented by the real-time information.
