There are a lot of systems in the orbiter to control and monitor!
There's stuff for the shuttle: The flight systems, the environmental controls, power to the different parts of the shuttle, fuel systems, communications systems of all flavors and types, navigation, many computers, and of course all the redundant backups that go with it!
Then there's the stuff that is used to control systems like the external tank, the SRBs, the gantry, etc.
That's not to say about the power and control for the experiments they have on board plus the remote arm in the cargo bay.
