As hardware becomes cheaper and cheaper, there is an
increasing interest in the implementation of distributed control
networks with microcontrollers. Such networks are usually
inexpensive and of high performance.
In this thesis work, a low-cost display control unit for COLAN, a
control-oriented network, is designed. The system is based on the
8051 single-chip microprocessor and 82716 video controller.
COLAN network users can remotely display and control the screen by
sending commands to the display control node through the network.
The emphasis of this thesis is in the implementation of the
display control node, including hardware and software. It has been
demonstrated that a basic set of display control functions has been
developed, different type monitors can be supported, and on-screen
instructions make the system easy to use. / Graduation date: 1991
