The 2792 Remote Communications Controller attaches a remote loop to <strong>the</strong> 2790single loop as shown in Figure 14-1. This capability extends <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7's locally controlled2790 Data Communications <strong>System</strong> to remote locations via a full duplex (withfour-wire termination) leased common-carrier line. The transmission rate is 2400 bits persecond.The 2790 system provides for rapid transfer of digital information from data entry unitsat various plant locations to area stations at key locations and on to a system controller.The <strong>System</strong>/7 is <strong>the</strong> system controller for a 2790 system attached to <strong>the</strong> 2790 Control in<strong>the</strong> 5013 Digital I/O Module. Data enters <strong>the</strong> 2790 system from a card reader, badgereader, pulse counter or key entry unit. Output data to <strong>the</strong> 2790 system is sent to 2791indicator lights, to <strong>the</strong> 2798 display and guidance panel, or to a printer attached toei<strong>the</strong>r a 2791 or 2793 Area Station.The 2790 Data Communication <strong>System</strong> is connected by a two-wire, high-speed loopcapable of operating at <strong>about</strong> 500,000 bits per second (<strong>about</strong> 900 characters per second)partitioned over <strong>the</strong> active terminals on <strong>the</strong> loop. This loop is a serial connection that startsand ends at <strong>the</strong> 2790 Control feature in <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7.5010 Processor Module50 3Digital I/OModule2790 Control2791/93 2791/93 2792-1 Remote 2791/93Area Station Area Station Communications Area StationController2792-2 RemoteCommunicationsController2795/96/97Data EntryUnit1053 Printer2791/93Area Station2791/93Area Station1035Badge Reader2798 GuidanceDisplay Unit1053 Printer2798 GuidanceDisplay Unit1053 Printer 2795/96/97Data EntryUnit1035Badge ReaderFigure 14-1. 2790 Data Communication <strong>System</strong> attached to <strong>System</strong>/7
