| Abstract | Endicott's Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) pilot project demonstrates to the industry that IBM is seriously interested in MAP. Two software products, MAP Communication Server (MCS) and MAP Application Server (MAS), were developed in IBM Palo Alto, California, and demonstrated at the November 1985 Autofact show. In Endicott, IBM Series/1's (S/1) monitor various processes, used in the manufacturing of advanced circuit panels (ACP). Ultimately, MAP will significantly reduce the time required to develop software that will connect the programmable logic controllers (PLC) on the manufacturing floor and the IBM S/1's used to monitor the processes. A significant portion of the cost associated with new PLC installations is directly related to software. This cost will essentially be eliminated because MAP provides a standard interface. MAP will allow programmable logic controllers to communicate with each other and other computers directly, without requiring additional software. A broadband cable was installed in November of 1985, allowing both MAP and IBM PC Network to operate on the same physical cable. The MAP network connects the Series 1's on the manufacturing floor, while PC Network links IBM PC's between engineering offices. There are two gateways, an IBM PC/AT and an IBM S/1. The PC/AT gateway enables communication between MAP and PC Network, while host connections are possible via the S/1 gateway. IBM's MONACO (Monitoring and Control) and PC Graphics were modified to operate on the MAP network. IBM MONACO is the software product residing in the S/1, used for process monitoring. It is a program product that was developed in Sindelfingen, W. Germany. IBM PC Graphics was developed, for internal use, in Endicott and displays the data collected by MONACO on an IBM PC/XT or PC/AT color monitor. Both MONACO and PC Graphics are used at other IBM locations. By accessing the Series/l on the manufacturing floor, real time process data, including color graphic data displays, will be available in engineering offices, conference rooms, and classrooms. This same data could also be made available to a control center. Today, MAP is receiving both national and international attention. This large scale effort was initiated by the customers of PLC manufacturers because these customers were overwhelmed with the number of proprietary islands of automation and information. MAP, on the broadband cable, is the standard that will make this data more readily accessible, provide single terminal access and reduce cable costs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
