The ADC used in this interface module is a data acquisition component. It is a monolithic CMOS device with an 8-bit analog to digital converter with 8 channels multiplexer and microprocessor compatible control logic. The 8-bit A/D converter uses successive approximation as the conversion technique.

In microcomputer system, the most important device to display data is CRT. But large amount of data cannot be displayed using CRT. So, printer is used to display and store large amount data. Hence we require a PRINTER INTERFACE MODULE to interface a printer to the microcomputer system. Before studying the printer interface module we shall understand the operation theory of printer.
The purpose of this trainer is to understand how to program a printer interface and write programs to make the printer to print any desired character. Printer interface module is connected to the system bus, of Microprocessor trainer, model MPT-85. The interface module has electronics required for connecting to a printer. The emphasis in this trainer is to study the signal requirement of a printer, from Microprocessor interfacing angle. Sample programs are providing to test the interface for printing standard character. Four LEDs indicate the status of select, printer enable, busy and error. The module comes with power supply. Printer cable not supplied.

Relay works under the principle of Electro-magnetic induction. An electric current passing through a coil wound on soft iron core. The iron core is magnetized as long as the current flows through the coil. As a result of this, a spring activated metallic contactor, is attracted towards this iron core, causing a mechanical movement. This principle is used to our advantage. There are two important principles demonstrated in this device, namely CAUSE & EFFECT. A relay connects two devices working in different electrical conditions.
I.e. mechanically connected and electrically isolated. For example: A digital system works at 5V DC and a fan works with 230V AC. Because the current flowing through a coil from a digital system, operating at 5V DC energizes the iron core; there is an effect of movable arm of the relay shifting its initial position. These switches ON a 230V AC operated bulb. The function of a Relay module is to show how a Microprocessor program can operate the relays and actuate high power devices. Some of the devices that can be actuated are like 230V AC lamps, blowers, contactors, fans, solenoids etc., which require 230 V AC supply for energisation. There are two relays placed on this module, which can be programmed by the Microprocessor either for ON or OFF condition. Each relay is housed in a transparent enclosure, to enable a student to see the movement of movable arm of the relay, while it gets actuated. The student is benefited by observing this phenomena.
The solid state relay module is similar to relay module. In this module a solid state device is used to turn ON/OFF the external 230V AC lamp, or a motor. There are two solid state relays placed on this module. The control signal required to open or close the gate of the device is to be provided by the external digital system. A Microprocessor trainer can be used for control.
Stepper motor is a DC motor. It differs with conventional motors, in the sense; stepper motor is used for positioning the rotor at a specified position. A sequential magnetization and demagnetization, enables the rotor of the motor to rotate on its axis by a fixed angle. If this is so, it should be possible to rotate only a few steps either in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. For example: In a printer, a stepper motor controls the print head movement. A stepper motor can be used in any place where, a precise mechanical movement is desired. Stepper motor module, Model IM-14 is a single stepper motor module. A 3Kg/cm2 motor is used and supplied with this module. The module has built-in power supplies, interface electronics to drive the motor. Number of steps and direction are programmable. This module requires external control system.
