Abstract :
20 MeV proton linear accelerator of the PEFP (proton engineering frontier project) has above 10 magnet power supplies and getter pumps to interface with Modbus protocol. VME IOC (input output controller) has been designed and constructed for the control system by using VME serial I/O. The driver support module of the VME IOC has been developed to initialize the IO board and communicate with the instruments through EPICS. Operating console and storage module for operators in the control room has been programmed on PC and SUN of the operator interface.
