EGIS - Solar Auto Controller for Sun Tracking Systems
The Solar AutoController is a sophisticated microprocessor-controlled unit designed for precise tracking and control of sun-oriented systems such as photovoltaic panels and solar collectors. By integrating comprehensive astronomical calculations, it ensures accurate positioning by using the Kepler data of the sun and earth, date, time, and location coordinates. The system controls standard gear motors via external power relays with dual feedback pulse transmitters for each axis, allowing precise direct-tracking of the sun. The front interface includes an easy-to-use key and display system for input of essential parameters like movement angle ratio and tracking intervals. Additionally, it supports wind-sensor input to adapt positioning according to wind speed, and offers RS 232 C interface for data communication. This setup is complemented by options for voltage conversion and data integration with GPS, making the controller adaptable for research and educational purposes.
For the tracking and positioning of one- or two-axial sun & daylight brightness deflect & control-systems. As well suitable to control shadow giving facilities.
The mathematical correct tracking of a horizontally positioned parabol trough is known as a very special task. A special version provides this function, too.
Automatic computer control to drive off-the-shelf gear-motors electrically (as well heavy duty types) via an external power relay. For each axial a dual feedback pulse transmitter and a reference switch is required .
All the input can be performed comfortably using the frontsided keys and the 40 characters display. You simply have to type in the respective pulse rate for the drive back angle. Once the sun and the panel are synchronized, the system is ready for operation.
- with quartz controlled calendar clock
- auto protocol function
- auto start after power failure
- most comfortable in installation and operation
- superior to integrate into existing equipment
- single axis operation also
- horizon-to horizon operation (AZ up to 360° & EL up to 90°)
- resolution of max. 65,000 steps, each axis
- low-voltage version (for buffered battery operation) (optional)
- control for heavy rotor motors (e. g. 3-phase models) and monster
- astronomic-mathematical program
- with wind-sensor-interface
- with load/power-depending position-optimizing (optional)
- thereby the modes "autofocus" and "autotracking" can be performed
- RS-232C interface (optional)
- 19" rack mount version (optional)
- manuals in English language!

The indoor unit consists out of a complete computer with rotor power supply. These electronics are established in a metal casing with front sided operating elements and a 40 digit LC-Display (image B). On the rear you will find the connection-clamps for the cable serving the rotor and the connectors for RS 232 C-interface and analog input, and the wind sensor interface as well (image G). |
