PHYSICAL

CHARACTERISTICS

The

punched

card

subsystems,

packaged

as

single,

freestanding

units,

are

on-line

devices,

each

consisting

of

a

card

handling

mechanism,

control

electronics,

and

a

power

supply.

Operator’s

control

panels

display

a

full

array

of

controls

and

indicators

for

observing

and

controlling

the

operation

of

the

subsystems.

The

power

supply

is

adequately

fused

against

overloads

and

provides

and

regulates

the

necessary

a.c.

and

d.c.

voltages

for

the

card

handling

mechanism

and

the

control

electronics.

The

control

electronics

interpret

and

transmit

to

and

from

the

processing

system

the

data

read

from

or

punched

into

cards

and

generate

and

transmit

timing

signals

and

information

on

the

operating

condition

of

the

subsystem.

USE

WITH

THE

SERIES

600/6000

Whenever

the

subsystem

operates

within

a

multiprogramming

environment,

its

operation

must

be

coordinated

to

mesh

efficiently

and

simultaneously

with

that of

other

peripheral

equipment

in

the

system.

The

General

Input/

Output

Supervisor

(GIOS)

program,

avail-

able

with

the

Series

600/

6000

systems,

does

this

for

the

programmer-

It

handles

the

details

that

arise

from

supervising

the

activities

and

status

of

many

peripherals

and

makes

the

most

efficient

use

of

them

in

conjunction

with

the

valuable

time

of

the

process-

ing

unit.

Whenever

use

of

the

subsystem

is

required,

GIOS

communicates

with

the Input/

Output

Controller

(ICC)

by

means

of

a

connect

instruction.

If

the

subsystem

is

busy

when

the

'

output

request

is

made,

GEIOS

queues

the

request

until

the

subsystem

becomes

ready.

When

the

subsystem

has

accepted

the

instruction

and

received

all

the

information

necessary

to

initiate

data

acceptance

and

punching

or

reading,

the

connect

sequence

ends

and

the

IOC.

data

service

sequence

begins.

This

sequence

controls

the

transfer

of

information

to

the

subsystem.

V

When

operation

stops,

either

because

of

a

normal

termination

or

because

an

alert

condition

occurred,

the

IOC

places

the

status

and

substatus

of

the

subsystem

in

the

proper

queue

and

sends

a

program

interrupt

signal

to

the

store

controller.

6108,

in

turn,

checks

each

queue

'

entry

to

be

sure

that

the

peripheral

operation

was

completed

free

of

errors.

If

it

was

not,

the

prOper

recovery

routines

are

called

in.

6108

also

returns

status

and

substatus

information

to

the

program

whenever

it

requests

it.

With

GIOS

efficiently

assuming

the

burden

of

responsibility

for

directing

peripheral

operations,

the

programmer

is

relieved

of

much

detailed

programming.

FUNCTIONAL

CHARACTERISTICS

READERS

Honeywell

card

readers

are

on-line

devices

consisting

of

a

card

reading

mechanism

and

the

control

logic

that

links

it

to

the

central

processor.

The

card

reading

mechanism

consists

of

the

card

input

hopper,

‘a

card

feed

mechanism,

a

reading

stations,

and

a

card

output

stacker.

The

reading

station

is

composed

of

a

lamp

and

12

light-sensitive

photocells.

The

reading

of

each

cardisinitiatedbya

specific

sequenceofinstruction

signals

received

by

the

card

reader.

If

no

Attention

conditions

exist,

the

card

reader

goes

intoabusy

state,

decodes

the

instruction,.checks

its

validity,

and

initiates

the

prOper.

control

functions.

The

first

card

is

released

from

the

input

hopper.

The

card

track

moves

the

Cardtothe

reading

station.

There,

the

photocells

read

the

card,

one

columnata

time.

The

photocells

detect

light

from

the

light

source

passing

through

the

punched

holesinthe

columns

and

send

an

electronic

signaltothe

control

electronics.

In

each

card

cycle,

the

Operation

of

the

photocells

in

the

read

station

is

checkedtodetermine

that

thereisno malfunction

and

that

the

card

has

not

been

unstableinits

passage

through

the

read

area.

The

transfer

of

data

continues

until

the

entire

card

is

read,

an

alert

condition

is

detected,

or

the

card

reader

receives

a

signal

telling

it

to

transfer

no

more

data.

When

reading

of

the

card

is

completed,

a

check

is

made

to

determine

whether

the

correct

number

of

columns

were

read.

If

not,

an

error

is

indicated.

The

card

reader

then

makes

available

information

on

its

status

and

generates

a

signal

indicating

termination

of

operation.

PUNCHES

Honeywell

card

punches

are

on-line

devices

consisting

of

a

card

punching

mechanism

and

the

control

logic

that

links

it

to

the

central

processor.

The

card

punching

mechanism

consists

of

the

card

input

hopper,

the

card

feed

mechanism,

a

punching

station,

a

reading

station,

and

a

card

output

stacker.

Before

punching

can

begin,

the

card

punch

mustbeproperly

loaded

and

freeofany

Attention

conditions.

The

subsystem

becomes

busy

and

card

punching

begins

whenapunch

instruction

is

received

and

accepted.

When

the

instruction

is

given

to

begin

card

punching,

the

bottom

card

of

the

stack

is

pushed

from

the

hopper

into

the

punching

station.

As

soon

as

the

punch

goes

into

the

busy

state,

it

requests

data

for

the

card.

Data

is

transmitted,

character

by

character,

from

-5-

the

processing

system

to

the

buffer

of

the

punch’s

controller.

The

parity

of

each

character

is

checked

as

it

is

received.

If

the

instruction

requests

the

data

to

be

punched

in

the

Hollerith

code,

the

code

is

converted

by

the

controller

before

the

data

enters

the

buffer.

The

80

punching

dies

punch

the

card,

a

row

ata

time.

The

card

then

moves

into

the

reading

station,

where

80

wire

brushes

read

it

by

sensing

the

presence

or

absence

of

holes.

From

the

reading

station,

the

card

is

moved

to

the

output

stacker.

DATA

MEDIA

The

subsystems

accept

and

punch

or

read

data

into

or

from

punched

cards

in

a

variety

of

intermixed

card

stocks.

The

mechanism

of

the

subsystem

handles

cards

so

as

to

produce

the

least

possible

wear

both

to

the

cards

and

to

the

subsystem

itself.

Cards

should

meet

the

basic

requirements

specified

for

their

use

with

most

electronic

and

tabulating

equipment

in

order

to

provide

the

greatest

possible

amount

of

service.

The

subsystems

also

handle

cards

exposed

to

a

wide

range

of

temperature

and

humidity

conditions,

provided

the

cards

are

first

given

a

reconditioning

period.

INPUT/OUTPUT

SIGNALS

Instructions

transmitted

to

the

subsystem

and

data

transmitted

to

or

received

from

the

subsystem

are

accompanied

by

signals

that

help

time

operations,

trigger

operations,

and

identify

information.

Some

signals

function

automatically,

while

others

can

be

accessed

or

caused

by

programmers

or

operators.

Those

signals

of

direct

concern

to

users

are:

EndData

Transfer

Terminate

Special

Interrupt

End

Data

Transfer

Signal

The

processing

system

transmits

the

End

Data

Transfer

signal

to

the

subsystem

to

indicate

that

no

more

data

is

to

be

transferred.

A

list

pointer

word

overflow

causes

this

signal

in

a

Series

400

system.

When

the

subsystem

receives

the

signal,

or

an

error

condition

is

detected,

data

transfer

is

terminated

for

the

remainder

of

the

card

operation

time.

The

two

error

conditions

that

cause

this

are

the

Attention,

Read

Alert,

and

the

Data

Alert,

Transfer

Timing

Alert,

conditions.

Both

are

defined

under

“Status,”

below.

Note

that

the

subsystem

remains

in

the

Channel

Busy

state

for

the

entire

operation

time.

Terminate

Signal

The

subsystem

transmits

the

Terminate

signal

to

the

processing

system

to

indicate

that

the

Channel

Busy

condition

was

terminated

for

one

of

the

following

reasons:

1.

Processingofa

cardiscomplete.

2.

A

card

jam

was

detected.

3.

A

data

alertisdetected.

-7-

The

status

information

transmitted

with

the

Terminate

signal

identifies

the

specific

type

of

termination.

’

Special

Interrupt

Signal

The

subsystem

transmits

the

Special

Interrupt

signal

to

the

processing

system

to

call

attention

to

a

change

in

the

operating

state

of

the

subsystem.

The

signal

means

that

the

subsystem

was

manually

cleared

from

the

Attention

status.

STATUS

INFORMATION

The

punched

card

subsystem

transmits

status

information

about

its

Operating

condition

to

the

processing

system.

The

status

tells

the

processing

system

when

the

subsystem

is

ready

to

accept

an

instruction

or

is

busy,

whether

an

instruction

was

successfully

executed,

when

error

conditions

have

occurred,

etc.

Status

information

can

be

placed

in

core

store

and

interrogated

by

the

program.

When

used

in

this

way

by

the

program

or

Operating

system,

the

status

permits

detecting

and

attempting

to

recover

from

certain

error

conditions

under

program

control.

For

conditions

that

require

operator

intervention,

status

enables

the

program

or

operating

system

to

give

specific

instructions

to

the

operator

for

correcting

inoperable

conditions.

There

are

two

types

of

status

information--the

major

status

and

the

substatus.

Major

status

indicates

the

general

category

of

the

condition.

For

some

major

statuses,

there

are

substatuses

that

indicate

more

specific

reasons

for

the

existence

of

the

major

status.

In

the

following

discussions

of

major

status

and

substatus,

codes

are

interpreted

as

follows:

The

indicates

which

substatuses

can

occur

of

the

three

instructions,

the

resettable

major

conditions

are

reset.

Major

status

then

indicates

that

the

punch

has

become

busy

as

a

result

of

accepting

the

instruction

or

that

the

instruction

has

not

been

accepted.

If

the

instruction

is

not

one

of

the

following

major

status

conditions

will

be

reflected:

If

the

instruction

is

as

soon

as

the

card

it

begins

requesting

INSTRUCTION

EXECUTION.

The

card

punch

completes

the

instruction

sequence

and

then

begins

execution

of

the

instruction

by

feeding

a

card

from

the

hopper

into

the

card

(after

all

data

for

a

row

or

card

has

been

received).

The

card

punch

goes

into

the

mode

of

operation

indicated

by

the

instruction.

0

If

the

instruction

is

to

punch

in

the

binary

mode,

160

characters

of

data

are

'

transmitted

to

the

punch.

The

punch

treats

the

data

as

binary

characters

and

punches

two

6-bit

characters

in

each

card

column.

0

If

the

instruction

is

to

punch

in

the

alphanumeric

mode,

80

characters

of

data

are

transmitted

to

the

punch.

The

punch

first

decodes

each

6-bit

character

into

its

12-bit

Hollerith

configuration,

and

then

punches

a

single

character

into

each

card

column.

0

If

the

instruction

is

to

punch

in

the

edited

alphanumeric

mode,

the

data

is

handled

in

the

same

manner

as

for

a

Punch

Alphanumeric

instruction,

except

that

the

punch

deletes

all

Ignore

characters

before

punching

the

data,

one

character

per

column.

Card

columns

from

which

Ignore

characters

are

edited

out

do

not

remain

blank,

but

are

punched

with

the

next

valid

stations

monitor

the

physical

CPZlOO

Card

Punch

Mechanism

As

soon

as

the

punch

becomes

busy,

it

requests

data

for

the

first

row

(row

12)

of

the

card

in

station

1

before

moving

it

under

the

punching

mechanism.

Once

the

punch

accepts

the

punch

instruction

for

row

12,

it

is

committed

to

the

handling

of

the

entire

card.

The

card

will

be

advanced,

row

by

row,

into

the

postpunch

station.

whether

or

not

further

punch

row

instructions

arrive.

Data

is

transmitted

to

the

punch

controller

character

by

character.

The

parity

of

each

character

is

checked

and

the

bits

necessary

to

punch

row

12

are

automatically

extracted

and

transferred

into

the

punch

controller’s

80-bit

buffer

in

positions

corresponding

to

the

columns

in

which

they

are

to

be

punched.

The

buffer

establishes

an

odd

parity

count

of

l-bits

for

each

row

of

the

incoming

data.

At

the

appropriate

time

all

punch

dies

are

activated

at

once

to

transfer

this

information

from

the

buffer

to

the

card

row.

When

row

12

is

completely

punched,

the

punch

signals

termination

of

the

operation

and

goes

into

an

intermediate

state

waiting

for

an

instruction

to

punch

the

next

row

(row

11).

When

it

receives

the

next

punch

instruction,

it

again

becomes

busy,

requests

data,

and

starts

punching.

This

sequence

continues

until

the

last

row

of

the

card

is

punched.

If

the

input

hopper

becomes

empty,

the

output

stacker

or

chad

box

becomes

full,

or

a

feed

alert

occurs,

punching

of

the

card

continues

to

the

end

(row

9).

If

a

card

jam

occurs,

the

punch

sequence

terminates

immediately.

After being

punched,

the

card

enters

station

2

(the

postpunch

station).

From

station

2,

the

card

moves

past

the

punch

check

area.

There,

80

wire

read

brushes

examine

the

punches

a

row

at

a

time,

accumulate

each

row’s

parity,

and

compare

that

parity

against

the

parity

established

when

the

data

was

first

received

by

the

punch’s

buffer.

If

the

two

parity

checks

do

not

agree,

a

punch

alert

signals

the

discrepancy.

-47..

The

punch

check

for

each

card

takes

place

while

the

next

card

is

being

punched.

Each

row

except

row

9

is

checked

for

punch

accuracy

during

the

intermediate

state

following

punching

of

the

corresponding

row

on

the

following

card.

Instead

of

going

into

the

intermediate

waiting

state

after

punching

row

9,

the

punch

remains

busy

until

row

9

of

the

preceding

card

is

read.

When

it

has

been

read,

the

punch

signals

termination

of

the

operation

and

then

becomes

ready

for

the

next

instruction.

When

the

last

row

has

been

read

and

checked,

the

card

enters

station

3

(the

postread

station)

and

then

moves

into

the

output

stacker.

As

the

first

card

dr0ps

into

the

stacker,

the

second

card

enters

station

3,

the

third

card

moves

under

the

punching

mechanism

and

into

station

2,

and

a

new

card

leaves

the

input

hopper

to

go

into

station

1.

SetUp

To

set

up

the

card

punch

and

start

operations,

follow

the

sequence

below:

1.

See

that

the

chad

box

is

correctly

in

place.

2.

Press

POWER

ON.

In

8

seconds,

POWER

ON

glows

amber

and

RESET

glows

blue.

If

there

are

no

cards

in

the

punch

transport,

the

MANUAL

CYCLE

light

also

glows.

3.

Lift

the

card

weight,

load

the

aligned

cards

into

the

facing

toward

the

punch.

Place

the

card

weight

on

top

of

the

loaded

cards.

4.

Press

MANUAL

CYCLE

twice.

This

causes

the

first

card

to

move

past

the

punch

dies

into

station

2.

The

second

card

stops

in

station

1

immediately

preceding

the

punch

dies.

Thus,

the

first

card

will

always

be

blank.

This

is

necessary

because

the

read

station

must

be

occupied

while

punching

takes

place.

When

the

punch

is

correctly

loaded

the

MANUAL

received.

After

punching

starts,

the

operator

remains

remove

punched

cards,

or

empty

the

Card

Handling

Mechanism

The

capable

of

holding

3500

cards,

an

output

stacker

with

a

capacity

of

3000

cards,

and

a

card

track

for

moving

the

cards.

The

card

track

moves

cards

forward,

row

by

row,

in

response

to

feed

signals

issued

by

the

punch

controller.

A

set

of

80

punch

dies,

regulated

by

the

control

electronics,

punches

cards

a

row

at

a

time.

The

postpunch

station

of

80

wire

brushes

checks

the

accuracy

of

the

punching.

Controls

in

the

mechanism

halt

the

punch

whenever

an

exists.

A

weight

in

the

input

hOpper

holds

cards

so

that

the

bottom

card

rests

firmly

against

the

plate.

A

convenient

place

for

manually

aligning

card

edges

is

provided

by

a

jogger

plate

located

near

the

loading

and

unloading

areas

of

the

punch.

Card

chips

created

by

the

punching

operation

are

accumulated

in

a

large

removable

chad

box.

Before

punching

can

begin,

the

card

punch

must

be

properly

loaded

and

free

of

any

Attention

conditions.

The

subsystem

becomes

busy

and

card

punching

begins

when

a

punch

instruction

is

received

and

accepted.

As

soon

as

the

Data

is

transmitted,

char-

acter

to

the

card

Card

Ha’ndling

Mechanism

The

consists

of

an

input

hopper

capable

of

holding

1200

cards,

an

output

stacker

with

a

capacity

of

1200

cards,

a

reject

pocket

with

a

capacity

of

at

least

100

cards,

and

a

card

track

for

moving

the

cards.

The

card

track

moves

cards

forward,

row

by

row,

in

response

to

feed

signals

issued

by

the

punch

controller.

A

set

of

80

punch

dies,

regulated

by

the

control

electronics,

punches

cards

a

row

at

a

time.

The

postpunch

read

station

of

80

wire

brushes

checks

the

accuracy

of

the

punching.

Warning

switches

in

the

mechanism

halt

the

punch

whenever

an

improper

condition

exists.

A

weight

in

the

input

hopper

holds

cards

so

that

the

bottom

card

rests

firmly

against

the

feed

plate.

A

convenient

place

for

manually

aligning

card

edges

is

provided

by

a

jogger

plate

located

near

the

loading

and

unloading

areas

of

the

punch.

Card

chips

created

by

the

punching

operation

are

accumulated

in

a

large

removable

chad

box.

Before

punching

begins,

the

card

punch

must

be

properly

loaded

and

free

of

any

Attention

conditions.

The

subsystem

becomes

busy

and

card

punching

begins

when

a

punch

instruction

is

received

and

accepted.

As

soon

as

the

punch

becomes

busy,

it

requests

data

for

the

card.

Data

is

transmitted,

character

by

character,

from

the

processing

system

to

the

card

image

buffer

of

the

punch’s

controller.

The

parity

of

each

character

is

checked

as

it

is

received.

If

the

instruction

requests

the

data

to

be

punched

in

the

Hollerith

code,

the

code

is

converted

by

the

con-

Operating

Speeds

When

the

card

is

Operating

correctly

timed,

continuous

feeding

conditions,

it

is

capable

of

reading

80-‘column

cards

at

approximately

900

cards

per

minute.

When

the

program

calls

for

demand

speeds

vary

according

to

the

timing

of

the

instructions.

Timing

Considerations

Since

reading

is

done

on

a

single-card-per-instruction

basis,

a

new

instruction

must

be

given

for

each

card.

To

achieve

and

maintain

reading

at

the

rate

of

900

cards

per

minute

(15

cards

per

second),

a

new

read

instruction

must

be

given

within

one

millisecond

after

the

card

reader

generates

a

terminate

signal

for

the

previous

card.

If

the

card

reader

does

not

receive

a

new

read

instruction

within

this

time,

speed

drops

in

proportion

to

the

delay.

Although

the

average

amount

of

time

required

to

move

a

card

from

the

input

hOpper

through

the

read

station

is

67

milliseconds,

this

time

may

vary

between

61

and

84

milliseconds

without

causing

Subsystem

States

A

feature

of

this

punch

is

its

standby

capability,

designed

for

maximum

operating

efficiency.

The

punch

goes

from

an

operate,

or

normal,

state

to

a

standby

state

(motors

off

but

power

on)

if

not

called

upon

to

punch

cards

within

16

seconds.

,

The

punch

returns

automatically

to

the

operate

state

as

soon

as

another

punch

instruction

is

received.

The

operate

state

exists

whenever

the

subsystem

is

engaged

in

punching

cards

or

when

it

is

actively

waiting

for

an

instruction.

In

this

state

the

punch

can

handle

data

in

three

different

modes--binary,

alphanumeric,

or

edited

alphanumeric.

The

current

mode

is

determined

by

the

instruction

received.

'

'

'

The

punch

reverts

to

the

standby

state

whenever

it

does

not

receive

a

punch

instruction

within

16

seconds

and

there

are

no

existing

Attention

conditions

or

Whenever

the

specified

amount

of

time

has

gone

by

without

the

punch

receiving

mechanism

and

the

While

it

is

in

the

standby

state,

the

punch

reflects

to

the

processing

system

its

current

status.

Whenever

it

receives

an

instruction,

within

2

seconds

the

punch

automatically

leaves

the

standby

state

and

goes

into

the

operate

state

and

the

milliseconds

for

Following

this,

there

are

4.4

milliseconds

available

for

brush

reading

the

corresponding

rowofthe

preceding

For

each

row

except

the

9-row,

data

transfer

for

the

next

row

may

begin

during
