abstract = {{In the CYCIAE-230 superconducting cyclotron beam line, a vacuum system capable of providing a pressure of about 5·10⁻⁴ Pa is required for particle beam transport. In order to provide adequate interlocking to safeguard the vacuum environment and ensure the regular transmission of particles within the beam line, a vacuum control system based on programmable logic controller (PLC) has been developed and integrated into the accelerator monitoring system. The PLC not only interfaces with the quick-acting relay based on interlocking signals but also interfaces with the equipment based on Profibus communication to monitor and control various parameters in the vacuum system, such as pump speed, vacuum pressure reading, valve status, water cooling status, etc. This work presents the structure and interface logic necessary for communication with a series of valves, vacuum gauges, and molecular pump controllers. Also presented is an interface approach between vacuum control and the rest of the accelerator control system.}},
