Suntrack 5
The SUNTRACK 5 is a microcontroller-based system, ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which has been designed to follow up on two axis with high precision. The control module is adaptable for electrical and hydraulic systems.
The system has a port for communication with RS 485 MODBUS galvanic isolation, used for tasks such as start-up for remote monitoring of the behavior of the tower.
SUNTRACK 5 works in open loop, calculating the position of the Sun (astronomical events), both as Elevation and Azimuth, with a precision of 0.01 °.
