GENERIC COMPONENT CLASS IN JAVA FOR CYCLOTRON CONTROL SYSTEM

A generic Java class-structure comprising of a number of Cyclotron oriented control components with effective control features has been constructed for use in the universal MMI[1], The usable components are of four distinct categories i.e. Boolean Monitor, Boolean Control, Analog Monitor and Analog Control. They can be interlinked in a tree structure. Operational safety interlocks can be implemented in step-by-step operation. An important component " Multi-Channel Selectable Graph", with some of the above functionalities has been implemented. Boolean components are useable as digital control components for switching of pumps, valves and to monitor status of components like pressure switches, etc. Analog components are designed for set point control and measuring equipment to monitor Voltage, Current, Pressure and Temperature, etc. Object declaration is very uniform for all kinds of control, needing only Type, Name and tree position to be passed as arguments.
