A New Data-Gathering and Control System

Abstract

The Automatic Electric C-2000 Data-Gathering and Control System represents recent innovations in the field of industrial control. The system consists of a master station complex located at the hub of a communication network, linking it to a number of remote stations. An unusually efficient communication message structure is employed which, when used in conjunction with a high-speed data set, results in an exceptionally high information rate. An efficient and effective message security scheme is employed. The system is modular on both a functional and a per-point basis, allowing it to be efficiently employed in installations of all sizes.
