  The China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) in Beijing has designed and established a proton therapy facility based on a superconducting cyclotron CYCIAE-230, which can provide proton beams with energy from 70 MeV to 230 MeV for cancer treatment. As the most critical and core part of the proton therapy system, therapy control system (TCS) consists of various components, each of which has corresponding processing services. Motion control of external hardware systems is one of the essential parts of TCS development, and adapters figure prominently in the interaction between services and these external hardware systems. One of the adapters, called robot adapter, is specially developed for the external robotic couch system, which is a vital equipment that directly contacts patients in the whole process of proton therapy. This adapter serves as the connection between TCS and robotic couch for communication and corresponding movement. In this paper, we introduced the communication protocols, design, and characteristics of robot adapter as well as the actual test contents and results with the robotic couch. The test results indicated that the robot adapter can satisfy the needs of couch motion control and status monitoring.
