| Abstract | The ASTRI SST-2M telescope is an end-to-end prototype [1], installed on Mount Etna (Italy), proposed for the Small Size class of Telescopes of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) [2]. The ASTRI prototype adopts innovative solutions for the optical system [3], which poses stringent requirements in the design and development of the Telescope Control System (TCS), whose task is the coordination of the telescope devices, performing of the observational functionalities and the maintenance, test and calibration activities. In this contribution we plan to highlight how the ASTRI approach for the design, development and implementation of the Telescope Control System has made the ASTRI SST-2M prototype a stand-alone, intelligent and active machine, able to efficiently perform all the required engineering and operative functionalities, to receive commands, transmit monitoring data and eventually recover errors. Furthermore, the ASTRI approach provides for a Telescope Control Software that can easily be integrated in an array configuration: a first set of nine ASTRI telescopes is planned to be produced for early implementation on the southern CTA site. |
