Abstract

A multiprocessing apparatus has a plurality of process processors connected to a carrier processor and controlled by a control system, wherein there are provided connection information signal generating means for generating a connection information signal expressing information of connection of the plurality of process processors to the carrier processor; switching means for generating a registration information signal expressing information of registration of connection of the plurality of process processors to the carrier processor; and control means for carrying out a control process while logically judging a matching state between the connected process processors and the registered process processors by reference to the connection information and the registration information. Thus, it is possible to provide a multiprocessing apparatus in which the number of process processors to be connected to the carrier processor can be securely increased or decreased.
