	A General purpose Ethernet enabled control and data acquisition module based on PIC microcontroller has been developed. This module supports multiple general purpose analog and digital inputs and outputs for interfacing with various equipments. The remote control, configuration and monitoring of the equipment are achieved through an embedded web server. A strict authentication process is built in the web server to access for control and configuration parameters that ensures the operational safety of the equipment under control. At present, this is being used for remote control of the ECR beam line vacuum systems and monitoring of various parameters like dual vacuum Gauge readings, pumping speed etc. These modules form a distributed control architecture enhancing the reliability of the controlled system, enables fast fault diagnostics and thereby reducing the downtime of the system significantly. In this article, the development of the hardware and software for the Ethernet enabled microcontroller based module is presented.

	The control system of Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source is computer based control system. Main components of ECR ion source are microwave generator, plasma chamber, solenoid magnets, high current power supplies, extraction electrodes, high voltage power supplies, beam measuring devices and vacuum system. All the electronics devices have their built in microprocessor base electronic interface, which can be remotely accessed by serial or Ethernet link. Two numbers of Ethernet to four port serial converter modules are used to extend the serial interface capabilities of computer. Serial interface of all the devices are connected to the extended serial ports of the computer. Serial link of high voltage power supplies are optically isolated using optical isolators to overcome EMI and EMC problems. Software has been developed in house for remote operation of the ECR ion source electronic devices like magnetron power supply, high voltage power supplies, high current power supplies, microwave power measurement and vacuum gauges.
