Two identical motors are mounted on each side of a U-type frame to drive the telescope elevation axis instead of a single motor drive, which is usually used in a classical design. This new configuration and mechanism can reduce the motor to half the size used in the former design, and it also provides some other advantages. A master-slave current control mode is employed to synchronize the two motors. Acceleration feedback control is utilized to further enhance the servo performance. Extensive experiments are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm in synchronization, disturbance attenuation and low-velocity tracking.展开更多

We describe a general framework for observatory control software, which considers principles of flexibility and inheritance to meet the expectations from observers and technical personnel. This framework includes observation scheduling, device control and data storage. The design is based on a finite state machine that controls the whole process.展开更多

To operate electronic tilt ＆ tele, it needs two motors and one electronic controller. Because of high cost component parts, it is difficult to apply to a midsize car. Meanwhile, to cope with regulations of fuel efficiency and emission, motor driven power steering system is applied to a full sized car from a small car. But MDPS （Markov decision processes） also consist of high cost component parts （motor and electronic controller）. This paper proposed the MDPS motor-driven electronic tilt ＆ tele column system which has single motor and an integrated electronic controller and introduced the detailed design study and evaluation results.展开更多
