CUARTAS-RESTREPO, Pablo; GAVIRIA-GOMEZ, Natalia  and  GALVEZ-SERNA, Julian. Design of a Low Cost Control System for an Astronomical Observatory. ing.cienc. [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.31, pp.103-127. ISSN 1794-9165.  https://doi.org/10.17230/ingciencia.16.31.5.

This work shows the engineering process carried out for the design of a low cost control system for an astronomical observatory. The work describes the implementation to adapt the equipment of the observatory to a Master Control System (MCS) and be able to use it remotely. The instruments and software required for the integration of the equipment as part of a robotic observatory are also described.

Keywords : Electrical design; system architecture; system and network configuration; control system design; MEADE-LX850.
