<p>An interface for a testing, control, industrial or communications system having a plurality of spatially distributed devices (14), a master processor (32) located within a primary system device (12) generates and issues fast control messages. Additionally, a slave processor (50) is located within an external system device (14) that is spatially distributed from the primary system device (12) is subordinate to the master processor (32) causes the external system device (14) to be compatible with the primary system device (12). An Ethernet hub (16) links the master and slave processors (32, 50) and enables the fast control messages generated and issued by the master processor (32) to be transmitted to the slave processor (50) with a controlled latency, thereby facilitating synchronous fast state switching of the primary and external system devices (12, 14).</p> |
