Italian term

programmatori elettronici

Italian to English Science Agriculture irrigation
Il controllo dei turni di irrigazione è effettuato con un sistema di elettrovalvole raggruppate in una centralina-quadro e gestite da diversi programmatori elettronici.

My question: so the system is controlled by a junction box/ control panel... but are the "programmatori elettronici" technicians or are they merely talking about an electronic/ automated system?

micro-controller

It seems the original is a loose translation of the technical term, which comes from English anyway. What they mean is a piece of hardware that CAN be programmed, but not necessarily one that needs a team of programmers to be sitting over it all the time when it operates. In other words, it's an automated system.
