Abstract

A distributed processing and control system, comprising: a plurality of distributed, non-dedicated processing units (30); each of the units having a common central processing unit and having a common, distributed software control program stored in the central processing unit; a plurality of dedicated process units (42, 44, 46 and 48), different numbers of which can be coupled to different ones of the central processing units in different combinations to achieve different functions and combinations of functions, the common software control program having a control subprogram for each of the dedicated process units, whereby the distributed process units (30) being customized by the combinations of the dedicated processing units (42, 44, 46 and 48) and operation of the common, distributed software. The distributed process units can form part of a large control network for a work site.
