Abstract: 1.3m DFM Telescope has been installed at ARIES Devasthal site in the year 2010. It is more than 10 Years old telescope most of its component has been obsoleted and for smooth functioning of telescope it requires future up gradation. Initially, we would like to start with Its RA and DEC motion up gradation. DFM has provided analog card based PID controller to control RA and DEC motion in 1.3m telescope and It has Galil Controller and it is has manual tuning (Pot Based) method to achieve performance. It will be upgraded with Omron CK3M based industrial grade controller. Laboratory based motion test setup has been developed and is being utilized for evaluating CK3M controller.
