Abstract
The principles of hardware realization and the preparation of software for microprocessor-based digital controllers are presented. A general, representative block diagram of a microprocessor-based digital controller is given along with a description of its subsystems, their tasks and their properties. Problems of sampling period selection, timing organization and the quantization effect, are discussed. Alternatives in hardware realization are mentioned. Basic steps of software preparation, requirements for reliable software and language selection considerations are presented.
