Abstract
A message control system is for a data communication system which takes the form of a loosely coupled multiprocessing system in which a plurality of processing modules respectively having a memory unit are coupled to each other via a system bus. In this message control system, a memory unit (13) within each processing module (10) includes a data processing part (14) which is a software running on a central processing unit (11) within its own processing module, and a buffer (16, 17) which stores a transmitting message. A connection unit (13) within each processing module (10) at least includes a plurality of logical transmitting ports (21) for successively reading out the message which is expanded in the buffer (16, 17) and transmits the same as a continuous message, a plurality of logical receiving ports (22) for storing the message, a transmission system connecting means (23), and a reception system connecting means (24).
