A first level of supervision for the motors is performed by the Servo Aplifier with a Tachogenerator . An intelligent motion controller by Galil performs a second and third level of feedback with a digital control of the speed and the position of the telescope. The supervising control is done by a computer. There the PTC 2000 software check the position of the telescope and ensures that the requested star is into the observing field near the diaphram of the focal plane instrument.
