Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The IBM 1710 was a Process Control system that IBM marketed in the 1960s. It used either a 1620 I or a 1620 II Computer and specialized I/O devices (e.g., A/D Converter, D/A Converter, Discrete I/O, factory floor operator control panels). The IBM 1620 used in the 1710 system was modified in several ways, the most obvious was the addition of a very primitive hardware interrupt mechanism. The 1710 was used by many paper mills and oil refineries. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
