Using a Fiber Optic CAN Bus for the Proton Source Control of the CERN PS-Linac

Following the recommendations for the use of field buses at CERN, the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus has been chosen to control and acquire the necessary parameters of the proton source of the LINAC II. This project represents two novel aspects, one on the hardware and one on the software side: s...

description Following the recommendations for the use of field buses at CERN, the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus has been chosen to control and acquire the necessary parameters of the proton source of the LINAC II. This project represents two novel aspects, one on the hardware and one on the software side: since the source is on a high electrical potential (92 kV), a fiber-optic interface has been developed which permits communication between the VME CAN bus controller and the CAN equipment in the proton source over optic fibers. Concerning the software, the CAN protocol had to be integrated into the equipment access method used at the PS.
