Answer to Question 1

It is typically located in the greenhouse. It has a limited number of inputs
from sensors and outputs to equipment it controls. It may receive signals from all
sensors in a greenhouse section and control all of the equipment in that section.
Alternatively, it might receive signals and control equipment in a few greenhouse
sections, but the amount of equipment would have to be limited to the small
capacity of the controller.

Answer to Question 2

The staged controller can only receive signals from a few sensors and the
type of sensors must be built into the controller at the time of its manufacture. The
computer can receive signals from a much larger number of sensors and it doesn't matter
what type of sensors are added over time.
