ConsoleThe Console, possibly the most prominet component of the machine, is placed on the front of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) which is in turn the most important unit on the entire computer.
The Console is used for operating the machine and also for debugging developing software. It relies on five boards to function; one (H11R-LARLDR) plugs to the Backplane along with the rest of CPU cards; the other four (H11C-CONC, H11D-CONB and two H11D-CONL) are located within the Console assembly.
As a whole, the Console is considered a "controller" as it runs sequences on its own in response to commands issued by the Operator from the Console's buttons and switches. Know however that Console sequences can only run when the computer is in Halt mode, as explained in the Operator's Manual.
