information from the Sensors or Switches. Major functions include:
1. Communicates with the Image Processor Board.
2. Receives information from the Sensors or Switches.
3. Controls the Motors in the Main Drive and Drive Assembly.
4. Distributes low-voltage DC power generated from the LVPS to each
component.
5. Controls the Laser Unit.
