Morphology

cycler = cycle (transparent) = cycle + er

The form is transparently built from 'cycle' plus '-er' for an agent or device that cycles through processes.

Etymology

Cycler comes from the word cycle meaning 'repeat', the same root you see in recycle. So a cycler can be a machine or device that repeats a set of steps, doing them again and again.
