1201 CENTRAL PROCESSOR
In the Honeywell Series 200 Data Processing System,
the 1201 Central Processor is the computing and control
center of the Model 1200. It is subdivided into five major
units: the arithmetic unit, the main memory, the control
memory, the control unit, and the input/output traffic
control. Under the direction of an internally stored program the central processor monitors and coordinates the
various activities of the entire system.
The arithmetic unit performs such operations as comparisons, binary and decimal addition/subtraction, and
decimal multiplication/division.
The control memory is a magnetic core storage unit
consisting of up to 29 individually addressable control
registers (the number of registers actually present depends upon the optional features included in the system).
During a program run, the control registers are used to
store the main memory addresses that direct the retrieval
and execution of all instructions.
Using information stored in control memory, the control
unit selects, interprets, and executes all of the instructions in the internally stored program. The Model 1200
repertoire includes editing instructions, code translation
instructions, a program interrupt instruction for automatic branching between a main program and servicing
'----" routines for all I/O devices, and two general-purpose
input/output instructions, all in variable-length, twoaddress format. This repertoire can be expanded to include binary floating-point arithmetic, as well as binaryto-decimal and decimal-to-binary conversion, by equipping the central processor with the optional Scientific
Unit, described in a separate hardware bulletin.
The input/output traffic control directs the time shar.ing of the main memory among the central processor and
as many as four simultaneously operating peripheral devices. The traffic control makes it possible, for example,
to read cards, punch paper tape, print, read or write magnetic tape, and compute - all at the same time. Typically, the central processor is free to perform other operations during up to 99.9 percent of processing intervals
shared with peripheral operations.
The basic 16,384-character, magnetic core main memory may be expanded by adding up to seven memory
modules of 16,384 characters each, for a capacity of
131,072 characters. The Model 1200 is equipped with
15 index registers, and when the storage protection feature is present, 15 additional index registers are also
included. There are no reserved input/ output areas; the
programmer has complete freedom in specifying both
the sizes and the locations of these areas. A storage
protect capability protects a pr.0grammer-specified memory area against interference from programs occupying
unprotected portions of memory.
Specifications remain subject to change in order to allow the introduction
of design improvements.

HARDWARE BULLETIN

SERIES 200

The interrupt processing facility of the 1201 consists
of a hardware program interrupt, which signals a particular condition in a peripheral control, and a set of
instructions used in processing interrupts. A program
interrupt may occur whenever a peripheral device has
completed an input/output operation - for example,
when a tape read or write operation is completed or after
the receipt of a character from a remote station by a communication control. Peripheral interrupts can be inhibited or allowed by the program as necessary.
The multi-level code handling facility enables the processor to bring into memory and manipulate data in many
different codes. This feature includes the ability to translate automatically between character codes of up to 12
levels and also to trap special code configurations of up
to 12 levels.
An outstanding design feature of the Series 200 permits
execution of stored programs in conjunction with a technique known as instruction bypass; this hardware facility
provides for automatic changes in program sequence
without executing programmed instructions to initiate
such changes.
An integral part of the central processor is the operator's control panel. By using various control switches, the
operator can start and stop the machine and can load
and interrogate main and control memory locations. The
control panel is equipped with four "sense switches"
which can be used in conjunction with programmed instructions to control the path of program execution.
A significant structural feature is the use of integrated
system modules. Each peripheral control and central processor logic unit is housed in a separate logic drawer
which tilts out of the central processor housing for easy
access.

SPECIFICATIONS
PROCESSING UNIT: Six-bit character.
DATA FORMAT: Variable-length data fields of from one
to virtually the maximum number of characters in the
main memory.
INSTRUCTION FORMAT: Variable-length, two-address instructions. Typical format consists of op code, two addresses, and a variant character.
MAIN MEMORY SIZE: Basic memory, 16,384 characters.
Additional memory available consisting of up to seven
16,384-character modules, providing a memory size of
131,072 characters.
INTERNAL OPERATIONS: Decimal and binary add/subtract, decimal multiply/divide, binary floating-point arithmetic, logic, program control, peripheral control, and editing.
ADDRESS ASSIGNMENTS: Sixteen. Peripheral controls
capable of both reading and writing require two address
assignments.
READ/WRITE CHANNELS: Four.
MAIN MEMORY CYCLE TIME: 1.5 microseconds.
CONTROL MEMORY ACCESS TIME: 250 nanoseconds.
CHECKING: Parity bit generated for each character as it
is stored in memory. Character parity checked on readout.
ADDRESSING MODES: 2-character address specifies any
of 4,096 memory locations, 3-character address specifies
any of 32,768 memory locations, 4-character address specifies any of 131,072 memory locations.
TYPICAL OPERATING SPEEDS: See accompanying table.
SPECIAL FEATURES:· Silicon semiconductor circuitry,
15 (or 30) index registers, four simultaneous input/output
operations concurrent with computing, program interrupt,
indirect addressing, multi-level code handling, scientific
unit, storage protect.

INSTRUCTION REPERTOIRE
MODEL 1200
The execution times listed in this table are based on
realistic situations involving three-character addressing
mode. The data fields referenced by both the A and B
addresses are five characters long. Times for indexed
operations assume that all address fields are indexed. In
actual practice, higher speeds will be attained because
in many cases abbreviated instruction formats can be
used, thus shortening execution times.
