Design of control instrumentation system for setting the stripper position on DECY-13 Cyclotron

Abstract

This research aims to design a stripper positioning system with input in the form of angle values and outputs are the x, y coordinates of each stripper. This system consists of hardware and software. The hardware consists of Fx2424 Super PLC, micro-step driver, stepper motor and dc power supply. The software includes Super PLC programming for stepper motor motion using features of the i-TRILOGI program and LabView program for the user interface. The test results show that stripper A with a length of 85 mm, an input angle of 60 degrees, obtained x; y coordinates are 435; 193mm. For stripper B with a length of 85 mm, an input angle of 240 degrees, obtained x; y coordinates are 400; 118 mm. For stripper C with a length of 85 mm, an input angle of 90 degrees, obtained x; y coordinates are 415; 75 mm. Overall test results show that the stripper position control system can be used to rotate and monitor the position of the stripper on the DEC-13 cyclotron.
