Tracking and motion-control features

The controller combines solar positioning logic, actuator management, and safety behavior in one field-ready platform.

01

Dual-axis tracking

Controls two tracking axes for more accurate panel orientation throughout the day and across seasonal sun-angle changes.

02

Astronomical sun calculation

Uses astronomical sun-position calculation to keep tracking autonomous without depending only on light sensors.

03

Actuator coordination

Supports up to three actuators with managed motion logic for tracker structures that need synchronized mechanical movement.

04

Soft-start motion

Soft start reduces mechanical shock, lowers electrical stress, and helps protect actuators and linkage assemblies during movement.

05

Current-aware drive control

Monitors and controls actuator current up to 15A to improve motion control, fault visibility, and protection during load changes or stall conditions.

06

Remote supervision

Remote monitoring and control give operators live visibility into tracker state, positioning, and field behavior.

Protection and safe positioning

The controller is designed to protect the mechanics and electronics of the tracker during harsh operating conditions.

Electrical protections

  • Overcurrent protection for drive circuits.
  • Actuator current control up to 15A during motion.
  • Stable operation across a 12-48V DC supply range.
  • Soft-start behavior to reduce electrical and mechanical stress.

Environmental safety logic

  • Wind-speed-based control response.
  • Automatic safe positioning during critical conditions.
  • Failsafe parking logic for storm or service scenarios.
  • Accurate positioning control with 1-degree precision.

Connectivity and remote management

The platform is built for connected deployment, field diagnostics, and remote operational oversight.

Remote access tools

  • Remote monitoring of tracker state and operating conditions.
  • Remote control access for service and positioning commands.
  • Live status visibility for field operation review.
  • Support for autonomous operation with reduced manual intervention.

Deployment flexibility

  • Designed for dual-axis tracker architectures.
  • Supports up to three actuators in one system.
  • Wide input range for different solar power platform designs.
  • Suitable for precision tracking and safe standby positioning.
