ABSTRACT
In this paper we present the results of implementation
of a remote control system based on ProFiBus Technologies
used for the remote control of experimental nuclear
physics apparata. Remote control makes experiment handling
more flexible, eliminating any problems originating
from the need for direct access to the systems being
controlled. In the paper we describe two different applications.
The first application of the ProFiBus is the remote
control of a multidetector (made up of a bidimensional
array of CsI scintillators) used to detect light nuclear
particles, as protons and/or light ions. In the second
application, we present an implementation of the control
of a vacuum system suitable for a special chamber used
for the development and testing of particle detectors
operating in vacuum conditions.
