Description
A VME-computer based system is used for controlling KEK proton synchrotron to replace old minicomputer based system. More than 20 node computers are connected with each other through a broadband token-bus network called MAP (Manufacturing Automation Protocol). The nodes are categorized into four types; a network management node (NM), a software development node (SW), operator's console nodes (OP's) and equipment control nodes (HW) that control accelerator equipment. System and application programs of any node except the SW and the NM are down-loaded from the NM and/or the SW. The MAP version 2.1 with File Transfer Access and Management (FTAM) and Common Application Service Element (CASE) is supported at present. A performance test of the network has been done and the results are reported here. 3 refs., 5 figs
