| Design and Implementation of Control System for 4MeV LIA (2008) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| A monitoring and control system for 4MeV electron linear induction accelerator capable of producing beams in burst mode is presented. The system is a distributed one based on local network using DataSocket. The hardware and software architecture of the system is described. Some methods to overcome the limitation of DataSocket and instrument driver are also given. INTRODUTION 4MeV electron linear induction accelerator capable of producing beams (2.0kA, 60ns) in burst mode was established in 2003 to develop a full service facility for LIA research. The 4Mev LIA is composed of 2MeV injector, pulsed power system, beam transport, accelerator cavities and auxiliaries. In the control system, there are about 62 power supplies used to beam tune, and 5 power supplies to energize the pulsed power system. The operation of the 4MeV accelerator depends on the synchronized functioning of pulsed-power system and timing system. Furthermore, it is necessary to design safety system in order to protect device and personnel safety. When design such a control system of high current LIA, the following requirements should be met well. | |||||||||||||
