Abstract

A multiprocessing apparatus has a plurality of process processors connected to a carrier processor and controlled by a control system, wherein the apparatus includes 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 process processors to be connected to the carrier processor can be increased or decreased in number easily and securely.
