The Micado Instrument Control Electronics

The control electronic tasks under responsibility of the USM group are shown in the Figure and highlighted in magenta. ESO decided to use Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for all control tasks necessary in ELT instruments.

Using this PLC technology the control electronics has to provide all necessary functionality to drive mechanisms inside several subsystems, read sensor signals but also all housekeeping tasks of the MICADO cryostat. All necessary components fill four electronic cabinets that will be located either on the Nasmyth or on the Co-Rotating platform.
