The new ISTTOK slow control system is designed to replace the former vaccum/power/slow timing system, based is the EDWARDS controller
The slow system control consists of:
- Pfeiffer pressure gauges
- one dsPic board running an embedded firmware
- one high level PC application
The dsPic acquires the pressure value from the Pfeiffer gauge, with the Pfeiffer protocol working on RS485, and sends the pressure to a high level PC application.
