Abstract :
For connecting accelerator equipment to an overall control system a field bus, the PDV-BUS (a German national standard, DIN 19241) is under evaluation. This standard was specified for industrial control systems and is now supported by a VLSI protocol chip. Our development is concentrated on a low cost station interface for connecting control equipment (pumps, magnets, etc.) and a driver board with a high level user software interface.
