Abstract
An automation and motion control system and method to control a plurality of theatrical objects. The control system includes a plurality of nodes and an operator console node in communication with each other over a real time network. The node corresponds to a device for control of a theatrical object. Each node of the plurality of nodes and the operator console node include a microprocessor and a memory device. The operator console node further includes a stored control path submodule, a manual control submodule and a reactive control submodule. Each of the stored control path submodule, the manual control submodule and the reactive control submodule generate an independent control signal. An active control submodule generates a summed control signal in response to the independent control signals from the stored control path submodule, the manual control submodule and the reactive control submodule. The summed control signal is provided to a node process, providing control to at least one device.
