Stored program control WOW. Stored program control SPC was a telecommunications technology used for telephone exchanges controlled by a computer program stored in the memory of the switching system. SPC was the enabling technology of electronic switching systems ESS developed in the Bell System in the 1. Second generation exchanges such as Strowger, panel, rotary, and crossbar switches were constructed purely from electromechanical switching components with analog control electronics, and had no computer software control. Stored program control was invented by Bell Labs scientist Erna Schneider Hoover in 1. SPC was introduced in electronic switching systems in the 1. Divadlo Radka Brzobohateho Program on this page. The 1. 01. ESS PBX was a transitional switching system in the Bell System to provide expanded services to business customers that were otherwise still served by an electromechanical central office switch. Examples of SPC based 3rd generation switching systems include Western Electric 1. ESS switch, British GPO TXE various manufacturers, Metaconta 1. ITT Europe and the AKE, ARE and pre digital 1. AXE telephone exchange by Ericsson and Philips. PRX were large scale systems in the public switched telephone network. SPC enabled sophisticated calling features. As SPC exchanges evolved, reliability and versatility increased. History. These systems could considered to be the 3rd generation of public telephony switching technology, following on from 1st generation manual switch boards and 2nd generation step by step, rotary, crossbar and similar electromechanical technologies. However, later crossbar systems used computer control of their switching matrices and would be considered full SPC systems. Examples include the Ericsson ARE 1. ARE 1. 3 transit and the ITT Metaconta 1. Western Europe and in many countries around the world.

By the 1. 98. 0s, SPC technology dominated the telecommunications industry. SPC technology using analog switching matrices began to be phased out in the 1. Viable, fully digital switches emerged in the 1. French Alcatel E1. Candian Nortel DMS going live during that decade. Other widely adopted systems hit the market in the early 1. These included Ericsson AXE 1. Western Electric. ESS used through the US and in many other countries, the German designed Siemens ESWD, the ITT System 1. Alcatel S1. 2 and NEC NEAX all of which were widely used around the world. The British developed System X telephone exchange and many other successful smaller systems also emerged in the early 1. Some digital switches notably the 5. ESS and very early versions of Ericsson AXE 1. SPC like technologies, rather then direct connections to the digital line cards containing the CODEC. As at 2. 01. 7, we move onto a 5th generation of telephony switching as TDM and specialist hardware based digital circuit switching is being replaced by soft switches and voice over IP Vo.

The principle feature of stored program control is one or multiple digital processing units stored program computers that execute a set of computer instructions program stored in the memory of the system by which telephone connections are established, maintained, and terminated in associated electronic circuitry. An immediate consequence of stored program control is automation of exchange functions and introduction of a variety of new telephony features to subscribers. A telephone exchange must run continuously without interruption at all times, by implementing a fault tolerant design. Early trials of electronics and computers in the control sub systems of an exchange were successful and resulted in the development of fully electronic systems, in which the switching network was also electronic. A trial system with stored program control was installed in Morris, Illinois in 1. It used a flying spot store with a word size of 1. The worlds first electronic switching system for permanent production use, the No. Exchange ForESS, was commissioned by AT T at Succasunna, New Jersey, in May 1. By 1. 97. 4, AT T had installed 4. No. 1. ESS systems. In the 1. 98. 0s SPC displaced electromechanical switching in the telecommunication industry, hence the term lost all but historical interest. Today SPC is standard in all automatic exchanges. The attempts to replace the electromechanical switching matrices by semiconductor cross point switches were not immediately successful, particularly in large exchanges. As a result, many space division switching systems used electromechanical switching networks with SPC, while private automatic branch exchanges PABX and smaller exchanges used electronic switching devices. Electromechanical matrices were replaced in the early 2. Types. Stored program control implementations may be organized into centralized and distributed approaches.

Introducing a computer to carry out the control functions of a telephone exchange is. STORED PROGRAM CONTROL Conrol in telephone exchanges developed from individual control of each switch on stepbystep exchanges to the use of a small number of. Although many present day exchange design continue to use centralized SPC, with advent of low cost powerful microprocessors and VLSI chips such as programmable logic array PLA and programmable logic controllers PLC, distributed SPC became widespread by the early 2. Centralized control. In centralized control, all control equipment is replaced a central processing unit. It must be able to process 1. Multiprocessor configurations are commonplace and may operate in various modes, such as in load sharing configuration, in synchronous duplex mode, or one processor may be in stand by mode. Standby mode. Standby mode of operation is the simplest of a dual processor configuration. Normally one processor is in standby mode. The standby processor is brought online only when the active processor fails. An important requirement of this configuration is ability of standby processor to reconstitute the state of exchange system when it takes over the control means to determine which of the subscriber lines or trunks are in use. In small exchanges, this may be possible by scanning the status signals as soon as the standby processor is brought into action. In such a case only the calls which are being established at the time of failure are disturbed. In large exchanges it is not possible to scan all the status signals within a significant time. Here the active processor copies the status of system periodically into secondary storage. When switchover occurs the recent status from the secondary memory is loaded. In this case only the calls which change status between last update and failure are affected. The shared secondary storage need not to be duplicated and simple unit level redundancy would suffice. ESS switch was a prominent example. Synchronous duplex mode. In synchronous duplex mode of operation hardware coupling is provided between two processors which execute same set of instructions and compare the results continuously. If mismatch occurs then the faulty processor is identified and taken out of service within a few milliseconds. When system is operating normally, the two processors have same data in memories at all times and simultaneously receive information from exchange environment. One of the processor actually controls the exchange, but other is synchronized with the former but does not participate in the exchange control. If a fault is detected by the comparator the processors are decoupled and a check out program is run independently to find faulty processor.
