Timers and Counters :
Timers and Counters along with Analog Process
Controllers formed the front end of Industrial Automation. Even
today automation systems and control panels use analog timers and
electromechanical counters. These are Indispensable. Analog + Digital
combination controllers came next
which were little bigger and offered better stability. They had
thumbwheel switches as user interface in place of potentiometers.
uP based Systems with chips like 8085 came after that, they consumed
more power
and were big in size. The coming of Cmos uC like 80C31 made Process
Instrumentation Small and SMD made even 48 X 48 DIN sizes possible. Now
Analog and uC based designs are used in different applications. Digital
Hybrids and uP instruments are not used as they were
