R6060

EASY is the CAEN power supply solution for operation in magnetic field and radioactive environment. CAEN has developed different solutions for the main LHC experiments, where the electronic equipment of the experiment is dealing with high dose radiation and intense magnetic field.

To provide safe and reliable operations in such hostile areas, CAEN started tests with rad-tolerant components and magnetic field resistant solutions, patenting the technology that is used in this line of products, where the power supply can be located directly in the hostile area, providing a wide variety of output voltages to satisfy the requirements of most detectors and front-end electronics.

The R6060 EASY Branch Controller is an independent module that fits in a single rack unit. Conforming to standard 19″ rack mechanics, the R6060 offers a reliable, high-performance, all-in-one solution which features fast communication speeds while eliminating the need for accessory CAEN HV Mainframes.
The R6060 functions as an interface between the detector control system and the CAEN EASY boards, and is compatible with both the new EASY6000 family of boards as well as the previous EASY3000 generation. The unit features a powerful web tool, designed to configure EASY crates. A single R6060 can control up to six EASY6000/3000 crates, and all EASY Channels can be configured and controlled directly via the Branch Controller.
Unit control can take place either locally, via external screen and mouse/keyboard connected to the serial ports, or remotely, via TCP/IP protocol, on the Ethernet port.

Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:

Safety keys: Safety keys to switch it ON.
Safety Board Interlock: via front panel LEMO connector.
