	A single compact rack that includes a Direct Digital Synthesizer generator, a turn-on and protection system provides the smart solution in RF accelerator systems. It synthesizes a high stable RF signal up to 120 MHz, turns the power on into the RF cavities through a step-ramp modulator, protects the RF system against mismatching, sparks and multipactoring. A preliminary prototype has been designed, assembled and tested on the RF system of the k-800 superconducting cyclotron at Infn-Lns. This solution is part of the new computer-based RF control system. The hardware, software, and first test results will be shown in this paper.
