Abstract

An automatic control system capable of executing a control program in parallel is described. The system includes more than one unit controller, each executing in parallel at least a part of the program to be executed by the automatic control system; a compiler, connected to one of the unit controllers, for converting the program to be executed by the automatic control system into tasks executed in parallel by the unit controllers; an interconnection network, for connecting the unit controllers, such that information on one of the unit controllers is transferred to another one via the interconnection network.
