THPAC25	LANSCE-RM Wire Scanners: SLIP-Encoded Serial Communication for Maintenance Display at the Instrument	1196
	J.D. Sedillo, J.D. Gilpatrick LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
	Funding: U.S. Department of Energy The newest LANSCE-RM wire scanner control systems at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s LANSCE particle accelerator facility utilize touch-panel displays for limited status and control at the instrument. Since the wire scanner control hardware utilizes a National Instruments CompactRIO embedded controller, no display may be interfaced to the CompactRIO via conventional means. Thus, in order to display information from the CompactRIO, a touch-panel display and computer combo unit has been added to each wire scanner control chassis with information being exchanged via a common, RS-232 interface. This paper describes the maintenance features available at the touch screen and the underlying SLIP communication scheme used for simple packetized transfer of data between the touch-panel display and the CompactRIO.
