Abstract

Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) has above 40 magnet power supplies for the 20 MeV proton linac. Because some power supplies have analog interfaces, we chose ATEC (Analog Input To Ethernet Converter) to monitor their output currents and voltage by supporting the protocol conversion function. Software components of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) have been ported to a VME single board computer based on a Power PC microprocessor (MPC7410). This paper presents the software component and processing of analog input values between EPICS on the PowerPC based board and ATEC operating as Server Mode.
