Micro Process Controller

The Micro Process Controller is a unit by DiRen with 6 switched relays, connected via a parallel interface (or serial to parallel converter) with a through port for a parallel printer.

The switched relays allow you to control other electrical equipment, such a as lights, radio, or even time sensitive photographic control. Controlled by the computer, this allows speed of switching to be set from micro-seconds to days.

Two units could be connected in series if no printer is used. Each relay could switch up to 240V AC at 3 amps and easily controlled from BASIC.

The MPC unit was contained in a small black box and powered either by 9V battery or external 9V 250mA power supply.
