Description
Medical cyclotrons are widely used in cancer treatment,nuclear medicine imaging,biophysical research,and other fields,all of which require stable and safe operation.To meet the long-term stable operational requirements of a 14MeV medical cyclotron,a control system for the cyclotron was designed and implemented.This paper first introduces the overall architecture of the control system,followed by detailed descriptions of the hardware structure and software development of each subsystem.Industrially programmable logic controllers were employed for the hardware,while TIA Portal automation software was used for programming.The system has been deployed at Peking University for the production of medical isotopes such as ¹⁸F and ⁶⁴Cu.Validation has shown that the system achieves millisecond-level response times,enables rapid equipment monitoring,exhibits strong anti-interference capabilities, and demonstrates excellent stability and safety,meeting the requirements for the long-term stable operation of medical cyclotrons.
