Abstract

In view of the problems of the traditional pan-tilt control systems, such as the response lag and the weak adaptability to the environment, the paper proposes a pan-tilt intelligent control scheme based on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) according to the temperature monitoring requirements of the power equipment. The system employs an FPGA as the core controller and integrates high-precision attitude sensors to facilitate real-time attitude data acquisition, multi-sensor data fusion, and optimized closed-loop PID control. Experimental results indicate that the system achieves adjustment times of 52～103 ms for small angular deviations (＜20°) and 148～166 ms for large angular deviations (＞30°). Notably, the system exhibits no overshoot, minimal steady-state error, and consistently rapid and stable transient response. The design significantly improves the real-time performance and precision of pan-tilt control, making it suitable for industrial applications such as power equipment monitoring.
