Computer
interlock
When constructing an m
:
n multidrop link using computers and
PC CPUs,
all computers must be interlocked to prevent several computers from simul-
taneously communicating with
PC CPUs.
This section explains how to interlock computers to allow data communica-
tions between a computer and a
PC CPU.
The term ‘interlocking‘ used in
this section means the procedure which provides a computer priority to use
a communications line. This priority is called an ‘access right’.
