Radiation tolerant design of RLBCS system for RPC detector in LHC experiment

This paper describes the design of the Link Box Control System for the RPC Detector (RLBCS), emphasizing the features needed to assure reliable operation in the irradiated environment of the RPC detector and its neighbourhood. The development process required to balance different factors - radiation hardness, reliability, flexibility, firmware upgrade possibilities, diagnostic features. The final design presented in the paper is a result of compromise between the above requirements.
