IBM 1800 Data Acquisition and Control System - Components

Components

The IBM 1800 DACS consisted of:

  • D/A (Digital-to-Analog) Converter
  • A/D (Analog-to-Digital) Converter
  • IBM 1801 Processor Controller, with operator's panel
  • IBM 1802 Processor Controller, with operator's panel, to include adapters for 2401/2402 Magnetic Tape Units.
  • IBM 1803 Core Storage Addition
  • IBM 1826 I/O Expansion Chassis (used for communications I/O, System/360 channels, 279x)
  • IBM 1828 Process Expansion Unit (used for additional D/A or A/D converters, or to hold 1851 and/or 1854 multiplexors; there was an RPQ for a remote 1828 unit)
  • IBM 1810 Disk (equivalent to 2310 on IBM 1130)
  • IBM 1816 Printer Keyboard (System Printer)
  • IBM 1851 Reed Relay Analog Multiplexor
  • IBM 1854 Solid State Analog Mulitplexor
  • IBM 1894 generic model number for many 1800 RPQ hardware features, which inter alia, included support for IBM 109x data entry devices)
  • IBM 1053 Printer
  • IBM 1054 Paper Tape Reader Unit
  • IBM 1055 Paper Tape Punch Unit
  • IBM 1442 Card Reader/Punch Unit
  • IBM 1443 Printer
  • IBM 1627 Plotter
  • IBM 2401 or 2402 Magnetic Tape Unit (its adapter included in IBM 1802)
  • IBM 2311 DASD (attached via an IBM 2841 Control Unit, latter attached to a channel in the IBM 1826), the MPX operating system could map two 1810 disks per 2311, the 1810 drive mapping being seen as a DSCB Form 5 dataset to S/360 OS)
  • IBM 2260 CRT (attached via an IBM 2848 Control Unit, latter attached to a channel in the IBM 1826)
  • IBM 2790 Data Communication System, one of the earliest token ring type local area networks were attached and controlled by the IBM 1800.

Famous quotes containing the word components:

    Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
