4. What was done ? A lot of things needed and need to be defined : Link between CRB and PCO Link between CRB and PCC Precision required for the current regulation Trigger interface for PCO control B-field measurement … Documents produced : CRB requirements CRB-PCO interface PCO-PCC interface PCO specifications for tendering CRB design : Schematics should be finished by the end of the year 09/12/2010 - CRB_PC_Advanced_Control.ppt Ph. Fraboulet – Converter Regulation Board 4

5. Next steps ? CRB design : PCB routing – End of January 2011 Manufacturing a prototype – March 2011 Validating the proto – Building a PCO simulator Interface with MACS going on : PCC architecture and driver design PCC and CRB interface XML definition files and RMS 09/12/2010 - CRB_PC_Advanced_Control.ppt Ph.
