The proposed upgrade plan centers on the concept of using a modern, network-attached, rack-mount digital electronics platform 'Internet Rack Monitor-Controller (or IRMC) to replace the existing analog ones on the legacy crate/backplane-based hardware. The system model of the envisioned IRMC is basically a 3-tier stack with a high-performance processor in the mid- layer to handle the general digital signal processing (DSP). The custom FPGA IP's in the bottom layer handle the high-speed, real-time, low-latency DSP tasks, and provide the interface ports. A network communication gateway, in conjunction with an embedded event receiver (EVR), in the top layer merges the Internet Rack Monitor-Controller device into the networks of the accelerator controls infrastructure. Although the concept is very much in trend with today's Internet-of-Things (IoT), this implementation has actually been used in accelerators for over two decades.
