Design and Implementation of an Automated Positioning System of the Ground Station

Abstract

According to harry development in all automatic filed for reducing total error, increase reliability and maintain the human effort, that lead to reduce the operation cost and win time gain, This Thesis presents Design and implementation of automated positioning system for ground station, which is the key module in order to perform the controlling and automation of antennas. The main area of this thesis focuses on controlling of antennas movement to up and dawn according to ground station operation of communications .recently used automation system because is easy operation, high accuracy and reliability, less effort and time. This thesis presents Design and implementation of automated positioning system for ground station by use Program Logic Control which controlling antennas movement by controlling the motors operation clock wise and counter clock wise. Design and implementation mechanism to change revolution movement to linear movement, decrease motors speed by gears and locked antennas in ideal position. The control system is simulated by powerful software S7-200 program. According to Microprocessor of PLC are CPU 214.Simulation results also show better performance of motor that reduce the time of Antennas movement. Implementation results show same performance and high control of antennas. But the time of simulation is less than actual time
