Title: | Dedicated universal microcomputer system for the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Stellenbosch | Authors: | Walser, C.P. | Keywords: | Microcomputers;System design;Systems engineering | Issue Date: | 1988 | Publisher: | Cape Technikon | 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. | Description: | Thesis (Diploma (Mechanical Engineering))--Cape Technikon, 1988. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/2177 |
