Single (1 Axis) Tracker Controller

by | Sep 9, 2017

Wind Protection

  • Wind protection algorithm adjusts position to a predetermined safe position
  • Share wind speed over the network thereby reducing the number of anemometers needed
  • Simulate wind speed for easy testing

Limit Stops

  • 2 mechanical limit switch inputs per axis to prevent over travel
  • 2 programmable soft limits to limit over travel and provide redundancy
  • Automatically re-calibrate based on touching lower limit stop
