          Abstract

          The present paper shows the design, construction and application of an interface developed on the base of the microcontroller usage. The aim is to reestablish the communication exchange among the basic modules that constitute the Neutron Generator belonging to the CEADEN Physics Department. Original interface design is upgraded by the automation of the data acquisition on the Neutron Generator exploitation parameters. The data acquisition card, optoelectronic converters, a PC-user interface using Lab VIEW environment, the indispensable firmware for interface functioning were developed for that purpose. The use of PC in the Neutron Generator is introduced, thus setting a precedent for the further automation of other subsystems.

          Se presenta el diseño, construcción y aplicación de una interfase desarrollada utilizando microcontroladores, con el fin de restablecer la comunicación entre los módulos básicos que componen el generador de neutrones del Departamento de Física del Centro de Aplicaciones Tecnológicas y Desarrollo Nuclear. Se moderniza la interfase original automatizando la adquisición de la información sobre los parámetros de explotación del generador de neutrones. Se desarrolló la tarjeta de adquisición de las señales de interés, los conversores opto electrónicos, la interfase PC-usuario en ambiente LabView y los códigos indispensables para el funcionamiento de la interfase. Se introdujo el uso de la PC en el generador de neutrones y se estableció el antecedente para extender la automatización a otros subsistemas de la instalación.
