Abstract
A microprocessor-based distributed control system is being
developed for a 200-MeV cyclotron and two injector cyclotrons. The
system will be based on at least 25 IBM PC/AT compatible microcomputers
grouped into functions of operator consoles, instrumentation
controllers, and database nodes communicating over an Ethernet LAN. The
aims of the system design are flexibility of use, ease of configuration
allowing for changing hardware and user requirements, and ready
availability of data for performance analysis
