Ngenxa yophuhliso lobuchwephesha bekhompyuter, itekhnoloji yolawulo, amagcisa onxibelelwano kunye nobugcisa bemifanekiso, ukusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji yokulawula i-microcomputer kulawulo oluzenzekelayo lwefriji kunye ne-air conditioning iye yaxhaphaka ngakumbi.Emva kokuba inkqubo yolawulo lwemveli ingeniswe kwi-microcomputer, inokusebenzisa ngokupheleleyo imisebenzi yezibalo enamandla yekhompyuter, ukusebenza kwengqondo kunye nemisebenzi yememori, kwaye isebenzise inkqubo yokufundisa ye-microcomputer ukuqulunqa isoftware ehambelana nomthetho wolawulo.I-microcomputer yenza ezi nkqubo ukuqonda ulawulo kunye nolawulo lweeparamitha ezilawulwayo, ezifana nokufumana idatha kunye nokucubungula idatha.
Inkqubo yokulawula ikhomputha inokushwankathelwa ngamanyathelo amathathu: ukufumana idatha yexesha langempela, ukwenza izigqibo ngexesha langempela kunye nokulawula ixesha langempela.Ukuphindwa ngokuqhubekayo kwala manyathelo mathathu kuya kwenza ukuba yonke inkqubo ilawulwe kwaye ilungelelaniswe ngokomthetho onikiweyo.Ngexesha elifanayo, iphinda ibeke iliso kwiinguqu ezilawulwayo kunye nesimo sokusebenza kwezixhobo, iimpazamo, njl., inciphisa i-alamu kunye nokukhusela, kwaye irekhoda idatha yembali.
Kufuneka kuthiwe ukulawulwa kwekhompyutheni ngokubhekiselele kwimisebenzi yokulawula njengokuchaneka, ixesha langempela, ukuthembeka, njl njl. ngaphaya kolawulo lwe-analog.Okubaluleke ngakumbi, ukuphuculwa kwemisebenzi yolawulo (efana nolawulo lwe-alam, iirekhodi zembali, njl.njl.) eziziswa kukwaziswa kweekhompyutha zingaphaya kokufikelela kubalawuli be-analog.Ngoko ke, kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ekusetyenzisweni kokulawulwa ngokuzenzekelayo kwefriji kunye ne-air-conditioning, ngokukodwa kulawulo oluzenzekelayo lweenkqubo zomoya ezinkulu kunye nobukhulu obuphakathi, ulawulo lwekhompyutha luye lwalawula.
