All,
I was cleaning out the basement storage last night and re-discovered an issue of Plant Engineering from October 1984. No, I'm not that old. It was given to me.
Reading through it I saw an advert for ControlNet by Siemens-Allis Automation Inc. This is from 1984!!!!! The photo shows coax cables and the verbage mentions "token access bus for true distributed control".
It sounds familiar. Did AB buy ControlNet from Siemens? If so, does this mean that it is almost 20 years old?????
