Antenna controller Unit

Overview

The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) has been developed particularly for geostationary antenna control and it is the main part of a complete servo system, that includes motors, drivers, encoders… It provides the user full access to all the operating modes and configuration parameters through the local interface on a 7” touchscreen colour display

Geostationary Antenna
Control The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) is specifically designed for precise control of geostationary antennas.
Comprehensive Servo System
Integrated with motors, drivers, and encoders, the ACU is the central component of a complete servo system.
User-Friendly Interface
Features a 7” touchscreen color display, offering full access to operating modes and configuration parameters.

Product Overview

The main functions of the antenna controller are

  • Satellite tracking strategy (step track, monopulse, program track…)
  • User interface: local (from the equipment display) and remote (from the TCP/IP standard interface)
  • Position loop of up to three axes (azimuth, elevation, and polarization)
  • Time synchronization
  • Interface with an external tracking receiver
  • Interface with a Servo Drive
