Abstract
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of characteristics, to adapt the system for a number of applications Stellenbosch developed the need for an intelligent controller for their well-equipped laboratories. The system had to be dedicated only to their mechanical laboratories, but with universal on various experiments.
The system had to be:
1. Universal to fit most experiments.
2. Programmable.
3. Fast control system.
4. Dedicated to one experiment at a time.
5. Long control time intervals.
6. Reliable system which can withstand harsh electrical interference.
The microprocessor, with its ability to perform a wide variety of different functions and being programmable was the answer. It could be obtained at low cost and coupled via suitable interface circuits to a wide variety of external devices.
