Software Architecture of the Intelligent Observatory Local Control Unit
SOFTWARE AND CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ASTRONOMY VII(2022)
摘要
We describe the software architecture of the Local Control Units (LCU) being deployed as part of the Intelligent Observatory project of the South African Astronomical Observatory. This is an integrated system for scheduling and controlling observations across several telescopes and instruments. As part of this, each telescope and its associated instruments fall under the control of an LCU. The LCU interfaces with the observatory-wide scheduler, executing observations as requested. It also monitors observing conditions and shuts down the telescope if necessary. The software is layered, modular and distributed, and allows remote and robotic control of the various instruments and telescopes.
