Automated Systems | O Level Computer Science 2210 & IGCSE Computer Science 0478 | Detailed Free Notes To Score An A Star (A*)
- Automated System
- Performs actions without interaction with humans
- Can be of any scale or level
- Features of Automated Systems
- Sensors
- Measure the data
- Microprocessor
- Process the data from the sensors to determine if an action needs to be taken
- Actuators
- Create a movement
- Sensors
- Many different types of sensors
- Sensors read data in analogue form
- It must be converted to digital form to ensure that it can be understood and processed by the computer
- Before the data can be processed it needs to be converted to digital form
- Before the system starts, data will be stored in the microprocessor
- A single value or multiple values
- There could be a range of data
- The microprocessor takes the data from the sensors and compares it to the preset value
- Then, it will determine what must be done and the actuator will then then work on the physical components
- Actuator helps to handle the physical components
