A data bank for on-line process control
Axel Daneels · 1974
The need for a data bank results from the complete computerization of the CERN Proton Synchrotron injector process. This process was designed so as to allow on-line control of most of its variables and a complex software system was developed for multiple and simultaneous control. Emphasis was put on "interactive control" i.e. several operators may control in parallel part of the synchrotron injector through computer-driven consoles. Conflicting control has to be avoided and therefore a centralized information base or data bank was developed.
