Abstract
The programmable control apparatus includes an absolute position transducer capable of being mechanically coupled to a machine and electrical circuitry for generating signals indicative of and related to the machine position, a programming unit including a microcomputer, visual display device, program input circuitry, one or more programmable memory position output devices (PMPODs) each of which includes a non-volatile memory, latching circuitry and output interface circuitry, and terminal blocks for interconnection of the absolute position transducer to the programming unit or the PMPOD.
