8.5.6 Replacing motor and encoder
The ADU is equipped with three (3) DC-motors, two of which are
identical, and one (1) step motor, for the axes:
• Elevation (DC motor).
• Azimuth (DC motor).
• Cross Elevation (DC motor).
• Polarisation motor (step motor).
The DC-motors are all brush less motors, controlled by their
individual DDM. The step motor is controlled by its PMM. To each of
the DC-motors and step motor a corresponding encoder provides
feedback of its position.
For step-by-step instructions see:
