THE CERN CONTROL PROTOCOL FOR POWER CONVERTERS

The Control Protocols Provide, for a class of similar devices, a uniqu e and standard access Procedure from the control system. Behavioural m odels have been Proposed for the different kinds of power Converters a nd the corresponding functionalities, with their parameters, variables and attributes have been Identified. The resulting data structures ha ve been presented using the ISO ASN.1 metalanguage, that Permits unive rsal representation independent of any computer environment. Implement ations in the UNIX-based CERN accelerator control systems are under de velopment.
