2. General description of the system
This preliminary section contains a short description of the SY2527 system with a
summary of its features and some tables with its main technical specifications.
A detailed description of technical specifications and hardware installation instructions
can be found in the
Hardware Installation Guide

2.1
Overview
The SY2527 system is the small scale experiment version of the latest CAEN
UNIVERSAL MULTICHANNEL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM. 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 SY2527 mainframe is housed in a 19"-wide, 4U-high euro-mechanics rack and hosts
three main sections (refer to Fig. 2.1):
•
the
Boards Section
, with 6 slots to house boards, distributors and branch controllers;
•
the
Power Supply Section
•
the
CPU and Front Panel Section
which includes all interface facilities.
