ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An input/output (I/O) module of a programmably controlled apparatus has access to a large number of devices. These devices serve as a processing interface for reading in/out a plurality of processing signals. Some variables, in particular at the input or output of each device, also serve as interrupt sources. One main memory area is provided for each device in a modular main memory of a module processing unit. This main memory area contains a number of instruction lists which correspond in number to the number of interrupt sources of the respective device. The activity of an interrupt source is signalled to the central processing unit of the programmably controlled apparatus. Parallel to the release of the primary interrupt and to the identification of the active interrupt source, the corresponding instruction list is processed in a decentralized manner within the modular main memory almost in real time. A considerable increase in processing speed results in this manner, since the result of the instruction list processing is already at hand up to the release of the interrupt in the central processing unit and the identification of the active interrupt source.
