S~CTION'
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information for the programming and operation of the Punched Card
Subsystem for the UNIVAC 1108 Multi-Processor System.
It is assumed that both the programmer and operator have sufficient background information
on the Central Processor and Main Storage of the UNIVAC 1108 Multi-Processor System
and need only to be instructed in the use of the Punched Card Subsystem. Therefore
material already covered in the "UNIVAC 1108 Multi-Processor System Processor and
Storage Reference Manual," UP-4053 will not be duplicated here.
This manual is divided into three basic sections:
• Punched Card Subsystem Description
This section will acquaint the reader with the characteristics of the Punched Card
Subsystem.
• Programming
This section supplies the user with the information required for programming for the
Punched Card Subsystem.
• Operation
This section contains the information necessary for the operation of the Punched Card
Subsystem.
Referencing the programming section within this manual on a regular basis is unnecessary
when appropriate software is available as an interface to the Punched Card Subsystem.

2. SUBSYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1. GENERAL
The Punched Card Subsystem for the UNIVAC 1108 System consists of a Card Reader,
Type 0706, and/or a Card Punch, Type 0600 and a Card Control Unit, Type 5010. This
latter unit communicates with the processor and controls the operation of both the
Card Reader and the Card Punch.
The Card Reader senses 80-column data at the rate of 900 cards per minute maximum
and transfers the data, column-by-column, to the Card Control Unit.
The Card Punch receives data from the Card Control Unit in the card image format,
row-by-row, and punches and stacks cards at the maximum rate of 300 cards per
minute.
The Card Control Unit decodes function words that are transmitted by the processor as
instructions for the Card Reader or the Card Punch. This unit includes a buffer memory
which collects the data characters read by the Card Reader, translates and sends the
information to the processor. Likewise, data from the processor is translated by the
Card Control Unit and sent to the Card Punch.
Some of the important features of the Punched Card Subsystem are:
• Stacker Selection
The Card Punch output stackers are selectable during a punch operation by pro-
grammed instruction. The Card Reader is equipped with an Error Stacker which
accepts cards should certain errors occur.
• Translation
Card Code, row binary, and column binary are the modes of translation available
under program control.
• Auto Recovery
As an operator selectable option, the hardware of the Card Control Unit automatically
repunches three cards of data and maintains proper card sequence upon detection
of a punch error.
The capabilities and sklient features of the individual units of the subsystem are
presented in Tables 2-1 through 2-3.

2.3.1. Card Reader, Type 0706
The Card Reader, upon command from the processor, reads cards into the buffer
memory of the Card Control Unit at a rate of up to 900 cards per minute, and then
stacks the cards in the same order as originally fed. It is equipped with a control
panel which is divided into two areas: the operator's control panel to initiate and
monitor operation, and the diagnostic panel to diagnose malfunctions. See Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2. Type 0706 Card Reader
The functional units of the Card Reader are the Input Station, the Ready Station,
the Read Station, the Error Stacker Station, and the Output Stacker Station.' Station-
to-station card flow proceeds in the sequence given below and is shown in Figure

1. The Input Station holds the cards to be read and initiates their travel through
the reader.

The primary components of the Input Station are the input hopper, picker knife,
and misfeed detector. The purpose of each of these components is:
• The input hopper is of the file-feed type and retains cards prior to being fed
into the Ready Station. It is readily accessible to the operator so that cards
can be added while the equipment is in use. The card capacity of the hopper
is 3000 cards. A card weight must be placed on top of the card file to allow
feeding of the last card.
• The picker knife moves back and forth within the input hopper, feeding cards
from the bottom of the file to the Ready Station upon receipt of a control
signal from the Card Control Unit. If there are no cards remaining in the
input hopper, the empty hopper switch energizes and places the reader in the
nonready state.
• The misfeed detector is a photocell which signals to the Control Unit whether
a card has or has not been fed from the Input Station into the Ready Station
following a feed signal. If a card has not entered the Ready Station (a mis-
feed has occurred), the Card Reader will be placed in the nonready state and
the feeding of cards will be inhibited.
The Ready Station accepts the card fed to it from the Input Station, changes
the direction of card movement, and holds the next card to be read. Once the
card has entered the Ready Station, the Card Control Unit issues a control
signal to activate the pinch roller (see Figure 2-3). The pinch roller transports
the card into the Read Station.
The Read Station performs the data sensing function in the reader. Its major
component is the sensing unit which contains twelve incandescent lamps and
twelve photocell assemblies. When a card passes through the Read Station
(between the lamps and the photocells), the data punched in the card will permit
the appropriate photocells to be activated. The sensed data is stored in the
Control Unit's buffer memory.
4. The Error Stacker Station is equipped with a card deflector which, when energized,
intercepts and delivers a card to the Error Stacker. The Normal Stacker accepts
all cards not delivered to the Error Stacker. Cards are deposited in the Error
Stacker when the card deflector is energized by the detection of a defective
photocell or a damaged card.
5. The Output Stacker Station is a 2400-card capacity stacker in which the cards
are stacked on end. The cards are fed out of the Read Station into the stacker
mechanism in an upward arc and deposited on end in the stacker tray. The
stacker tray is readily accessible to the operator so that cards can be removed
while the equipment is in use.
Before entering the stacker, the cards pass by a jam detector switch which
signals the control unit should a jam occur. The stacker is also equipped with
a limit switch which closes to signal the control unit of a full stacker condition.

2.3.2. Card Punch, Type 0600
The Card Punch will feed, punch, post-punch read, and stack 80-column cards at a
maximum rate of 300 cards per minute on command from the processor. It is equipped
with a control panel which is divided into two areas: the operator's control panel
to initiate and monitor operation, and the diagnostic panel to diagnose malfunctions .

UNIVAC 1108 PUNCHED CARD SUBSYSTEM SECTION:

A function word from the processor causes the cards to advance one station as
follows:
1. Input Station
The input hopper and the picker knife constitute the Input Station. The picker
knife feeds cards, one at a time, from the bottom of the input hopper into the
first pair of feed rolls.
2. Wait Station 1
Wait Station 1 holds the card for one cycle of the clutched transport system.
3. Wait Station 2
In Wait
Station 2, two functions are performed: the card is held for another
cycle of the clutched transport system, and the position of the card is checked.
Upon entering Wait Station 2, the leading edge of the card is checked by a
photocell, and the trailing edge is tested as the card leaves Wait Station 2.
This is known as JAM A check. Any malfunction at this station will light the
J AM A indicator on the control panel.
4. Punch Station
The information received from the Card Control Unit's buffer memory is punched
into the card in this station. As the card emerges from the Punch Station,
the JAM B photocell checks the leading and trailing edge of the card for position
or card jam. Any malfunction at this station will light the JAM B indicator on
the control panel.
5. Post-Punch Read Station
In the Post-Punch Read Station, the information that has been punched into the
card is sensed and sent to the Card Control Unit for comparison with the in-
formation contained in the Card Control Unit's buffer memory for the purpose of
verification.
6. Output Stacker Station
The Output Stacker Station consists of two output stackers designated Normal
and Select. The Select Stacker is equipped with a card deflector, which when
energized, intercepts and delivers a card to the Select Stacker pocket. The
Normal Stacker accepts all cards not delivered to the Select Stacker. The
Punch function word received from the processor specifies whether the card
goes to the Normal or the Select Stacker.

The Card Control Unit (see Figure 2-6) governs all the operations of the Punch
Card Subsystem. Its principal functions are:
PAGE:
• to receive function words from the processor that condition and prepare the sub-
system for different modes of operation and for data handling.
• to synchronize the flow of data between the processor and the Card Reader or
Card Punch.
• to accumulate the data to be punched or being read from cards in its Buffer
Memory.
•
to interpret signals both normal and abnormal, from the Card Reader or Card
Punch and to notify the processor of conditions within these units.

2.3.3.1. Buffer Memory
The Buffer Memory of the control unit is divided into eight areas, as follows:
• an input sense area which receives the data read from cards.
• an input translate area which is used as a table look up device for translation
of data read from cards to processor code.
• two alternating input transfer areas which are used to store data from the
input sense area in translated form and which are used as the source of data
sent to a word assembly register for input to the processor.
• an output translate area which is used as a table lookup device for translation
of output data (as it is received from the processor) to card code.
• three cyclically rotating output transfer areas which are used to store the
translated or formatted data received from the processor following receipt of
a Punch function, to send data to the punch station, and to send data to
comparison circuits to check on the validity of data read at the post-punch
check station of the punch unit.
