The ELETTRA control system has a distributed architecture, hierarchically divided into three layers of computers; two network levels provide communication between the adjacent computer layers. The field highway adopted for the connection of the middle-layer local process computers with the bottom-layer equipment interface units is the MIL-1553B multidrop highway. This paper describes the hardware configuration and the main communication services developed on the MIL-15538 field highway for accelerator control. As an additional feature, typical LAN utilities have been added on top of the basic MIL-15538 communication software allowing remote login and file transfer; these tools are currently used for software development in our laboratory.}}, }
