INPUT Input sensors usually convert a change in light, movement, temperature or humidity into changes in electrical signals. The inputs are often tiny changes of voltage, current or resistance.
PROCESS The process or processor is the part of a control system which reacts to the inputs. The changes to the inputs are usually too small to operate output devices like buzzers or motors, so they have to be amplified to give a large enough change to operate the output devices.
OUTPUT Output devices are those which convert electrical signals into sound, light or movement.
