Abstract: Architecture of control electronics of mechatronic
scientific apparatus for high temperature material processing in
space is considered in this paper. Material experiments have
been prepared to be carriedout in this equipment in space
station in the Earth’s orbit. Paper presents hardware and
software architecture of networked distributed control computer
of equipment with special functional parts. General design
requirements are presented and special ones too. In addition to
standard quality of such type of equipment as are safety,
reliability, user friendly interface and so on, special features are
required. These are namely extremely low speed vibrationless
drives, precisely controlled high temperature field inside
working space of facility furnace and high accurate temperature
measurement. Control electronics presented in this paper is part
of scientific equipment TITUS, which has been operated several
years in orbital station MIR especially during ESA missions
EUROMIR.
