Paper Abstract
This work describes the hardware control system of the Prime Focus Corrector (PFC) and the Spectrograph, two of the
main parts of WEAVE, a multi-object fiber spectrograph for the WHT Telescope. The PFC and Spectrograph control
system hardware is based on the Allen Bradley’s Programmable Automation Controller and its modules. Mechanisms,
sensors and actuators of both systems are summarized and their functionality described, showing how they meet the
instrument requirements.
