CMS HCAL Radioactive Source Mover
CMS HCAL Radioactive Source Mover should perform the following tasks:
- Operate the commutator to select a destination
- Operate the motor drive to position the source
- Monitor status of operating parameters
- Readout the source position transducer
- Service external requests for commands, status and position readings
This system is a state machine coupled with a few IO peripherals and a
network connection. Interconnections with the source mover are hard
wired.
How to achieve this?
A stand-alone system exists. Its schematic view is shown here:
The target system should look something like:
Like with the laser system, we want to reuse the existing driver and
decouple the system modules as much as possible.
