The TMT mount control system provides telescope pointing and tracking. Requirements include wind disturbance rejection, offsetting time and accuracy, control system robustness, and the magnitude of response at structural resonances. A finite element model of the complete telescope has been developed and the transfer functions used for the control designs are presented. Wind disturbance, encoder, and wave-front-sensor models are presented that are used for the control design. A performance analysis translates the requirements to a required bandwidth. Achieving this bandwidth is important for reducing telescope image motion due to wind-buffeting. A mount control design is presented that meets the demanding requirements by maximizing low frequency gain and using structural filters to roll-off structural modes. The control system analysis includes an outer guide loop using a wave front sensor. Offsetting time and accuracy requirements are satisfied using feed-forward control architecture.
