N2 - 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.
