Interface
From DT Online
Description
An interface is simply something which joins one system to another. A control interface is one which enables a computer to switch things like bulbs, buzzers or motors on and off for example.
Features and Applications
Some control interfaces can have built-in memory so that once programmed from a computer they can operate completely independently even when they are disconnected from the computer
