CAN bus

For information about the CAN bus refer to the CAN in automation home page.

The BST slow control uses IP CAN drivers housed in a VME IP carrier board. Besides the generation of calibration messages there is no standalone intelligence implemented - all CAN actions are directly invoked by the controlling LabView Program.
The CAN bus talks to 8 distributed SLIOs which correspond to the basic CAN standard and provide digital I/O, an analog multiplexer, a sequential A-to-D converter and a PMC D-to-A converter.
