11. CAMAC Interface Wiring Information Key Tables

These tables are used to validate fields of other tables in the database. These tables should not be modified by the user. The tables will only change if new functionality is added to AccelNET.

11.2. BusKeys Table

The CAMAC interface usually contains one or more power buses. They are used to provide power to drive relays and other such devices. Sometimes the bus is switched to provide interlocking functions. For example, in some machines the tank pressure switch controls power to a bus in the interface. The power from the switched bus is connected to the rotating shaft, gvm power status control, etc. If the tank is under vacuum, power is not applied to the bus. Even if the control system may have told the device to be on, it won't be. The BusKeys table allows the buses to be given names and incorporated in the wire lists.

Note

This table is slated for deprecation/obsolete status and will be replaced by JackRec, but is still in active use.

BusNme

BusVal

An integer value for the bus name. This field is provided in order to allow an arbitrary sort by bus.
