Abstract: Control system for carousels, which comprises a carousel provided with a control unit for detecting operative parameters of the carousel, and with a transmission unit for transmitting a succession of acquired values of the operative parameters. The control system also comprises a portable electronic device provided with a video camera for filming the carousel, and with a communication unit for receiving the acquired values of the operative parameters. The electronic device comprises a processing unit arranged for actuating the video camera to film the carousel and acquire a sequence of photograms. The processing unit synchronizes the acquired values of the operative parameters with the photograms generated by the video camera, and applies to the acquired values an interpolation function, which calculates interpolated values of the operative parameters that are then associated with corresponding photograms.
