Development of a pipeline CAMAC controller with PC/104-Plus single board computer
نویسنده
چکیده
A pipeline CAMAC controller with PC/104-Plus single board computer has been developed. The architecture of the pipeline CAMAC controller is completely different from that of traditional CAMAC controller. The pipeline CAMAC controller adopted truly pipelined command and data paths from/to computer memory to/from CAMAC. The pipeline method enabled the controller maximum speed of CAMAC, approximately up to 3 MB/sec with 24-bit data. The controller also has a DAQ function such as event numbering for coexistence with other equipment such as VME. Not only the functionality and the performance but also the pipeline architecture and the design concept are described.

Front End Camac Controller for Slac Control System
Most of the devices in the SLAC control system are accessed via interface modules in ~450 CAMAC crates. Low-cost controllers in these crates communicate via a SLAC-proprietary bit-serial protocol with 77 satellite control computers (“micros”) within the accelerator complex. A proposed upgrade replaces the existing Multibus-I implementation of the micro hardware with commercial-off-the-shelf (“C...

A Multi-H% Time-to-Amplitude Module (MTAC) for the SI.AC Mark III drift chamber system has been designed to measure drift time by converting time-proportional chamber signals into analog levels, and converting the analog data by slow readout via a semi-autonomous controller in a CAMAC crate. The single width CAMAC module has 16 wire channels, each with a 4-hit capacity. An externally generated ...
