Stored Program Control

Stored Program Control uses a digital computer and stored programs to carry out telephone exchange control functions, replacing electromechanical components. There are two approaches - centralized, using a single processor, or distributed, sharing control functions among multiple processors within the exchange for better availability, reliability, and call processing speed. Software includes stored areas like line stores and call records, and functions like timing control, scheduling, and input/output controls.

Stored Program Control

Early Crossbar systems were slow in call


progress as they used electromechanical
components for common control subsystems.
Later vaccum tubes, transistors, Gas diodes,
magnetic drums and cathode rays used for
realising control functions.
Contemporary to these developments was
the arrival of modern electronic digital
computer.
• Registers, translators of common control
subsystem replaced by single digital computer.
• Digital computer used stored program
concept.
• Carrying out the exchange control functions
through program stored in computer led to
the nomenclature Stored program control.
• Two approaches to organising stored program
control are
 Centralised
 Distributed
Centralised SPC or Processor architecture:
• Control equipement replaced by single
processor.
• In order to obtain security a switching system
requires a minimum of two central processors.
• Modes of operation of two processors:
 Worker and standby
Cold standby
Hot standby
 Load sharing
 Synchronous
Distributed SPC:
• In this control functions are shared by many
processors within the exchange itself.
• This structure offers better availability
reliability.
• Increase speed of call processing
• Exchange control functions decomposed
• Verically
• Horizontally
Software:
• Store areas:
1. Line store
2. Call record
3. Translation tables
4. Map of the switching network
Functions:
1. Control of timing
2. Scheduling
3. Interrupt handling
4. Interprocess communications
5. Input/output controls
6. Storage management
7. Human machine communication
