Transdata
Transdata is a non-hierarchical network architecture from Siemens and was developed in the 1970s. This network architecture was used as a proprietary architecture for communication in distributed systems . This is both a universal communication concept and a network architecture . This communication concept represents objectives and blueprint for solving communication tasks, the network architecture forms the set of rules for the protocols and interfaces.
Among other things, it was used for communication between computers with the BS2000 and Sinix (interactive) operating systems and for communication with proprietary computer systems from Siemens such as EWSD until at least 2003. PDN was the operating system, and later there was also a BS1000 implementation. The Transdata system had its own floppy disk format, which can, however, partly be read by other computers such as the 6000 or 7000 series. However, communication was usually carried out directly with one another or via the network via data transmission .
The single registration station 9210 and the tandem registration station 9212 of the Transdata 920 series received the iF Design Award in 1977 . The tables have 8 "floppy disk drives, small control displays and noiseless keyboards. With tandem systems, the colleague sits diagonally opposite to the left at the same table.
System series
Each series exists in different configurations plus various peripherals such as front computers, printers, data display stations, etc.
(Selection)
- 960 communication computer system (1974)
