Description
To address the requirements of modern cyclotrons for high-precision, high-reliability, and high-scalability operation and experimentation, as well as to overcome the limitations of traditional centralized measurement and control systems—such as high single-point failure risks, poor scalability, and bottlenecks in mass data processing and storage—this paper proposes and preliminarily designs a hierarchical system architecture based on "Distributed Acquisition/Control + Centralized Data Management."
The system employs a unified underlying database framework, a unified timing system, and a unified time series as its software core. At the hardware level, a distributed network consisting of multiple acquisition and control nodes is constructed. These nodes are responsible for locally collecting real-time data from subsystems (e.g., magnetic field, RF, vacuum, beam diagnostics) and executing efficient local closed-loop control, with communication facilitated via high-speed Ethernet. At the software level, channel access protocols enable efficient and reliable data communication and interaction among distributed nodes.
