Description
The system consists of a bus controller with an embedded deterministic communication protocol, allowing it to receive exact timing information from all sensors in the network. The bus controller module can connect with 3 SPI slave ICs. These ICs can connect resolvers, LVDTs, strain gauges, force sensors, and pressure sensors, all provided by rad-hard ICs developed and designed by Magics. In addition, these slaves can read out limit switches or drive relays for motion control applications. The rad-hard Magics DCDC module is also included in the system, enabling local DC power distribution. A master module can receive and send digital data over  215 metres from a control cubicle.

BiSS Slave Motion Control solution system architecture – radiation-proof zone

The rad-hard ICs, developed and designed by Magics, are integrated in master-slaves modules, and plugged into an electrical cabinet as shown in the figure below:

The Master controller can communicate with a higher-level control system used by a system integrator. An SSI interface is foreseen to communicate with existing motor drivers. Sensors or relay drivers can be connected in the radiation environment.
