2. General description of the system
This preliminary section contains a short description of the SY1527 system with a
summary of its main features and technical specifications.
A detailed description of system parameters and operating modes can be found in the
User’s Manual
.
2.1 Overview
The SY1527 system is the fully equipped, large scale experiment version of a new line
of power supply systems which represent CAEN's latest proposal in the matter of High
Voltage and Low Voltage Power Supplying. This system outlines a completely new
approach to power generation and distribution by allowing to house, in the same
mainframe, a wide range of boards with different functions, such as High/Low Voltage
boards, generic I/O boards (temperature, pressure monitors, etc.) and branch controllers,
where the latter are used to control other remote generators and distributors.
Modularity, flexibility and reliability are the key-points of its design, enabling it to meet the
requirements of a wide range of experimental conditions. The latter range from those of
LHC experiments, in which the system’s features find prior application, to those of other
less challenging, but still demanding, High Energy Physics experiments.
The mainframe is housed in a 19"-wide, 8U-high euro-mechanics rack and hosts four
main sections (refer to Fig. 2.1):
- the
Board Section
, with 16 slots to house boards, distributors and branch controllers;
- the
Fan Tray Section
, housing 6 fans disposed on two rows;
- the
Power Supply Section
, which consists of the primary power supply and up to 3
power supply units;
- the
CPU and Front Panel Section
which includes all interface facilities.
