Abstract
A programmable control device has a control unit that is separated from a unit to be controlled. The control unit and the unit to be controlled are detachably connected via a connection unit. The control unit is modified to provide improved functionality while effectively using the existing hardware of the unit to be controlled. The control unit may have a card-like shape to reduce the size of the programmable control device.
