TUP46 | A New Control System for the S-DALINAC | 372 |
|
||
We will present recent results of the development of a new control system for the superconducting cw electron accelerator S-DALINAC. This system will be based on common industrial standards. Due to the large number of special devices existing to control the beamline, a simple and cheap communication interface is required to replace the current proprietary bus topology. The existing devices will be upgraded by a microcontroller based CAN bus interface as communication path to a control server. The servers themselves may be distributed over the location, giving required applications access to the device parameters through a TCP/IP connection. As application layer protocol for the Client Server communication a special binary protocol and a text protocol based on XML are considered. |
