The Development of Embedded Local Monitor Board (ELMB)
H. Boterenbrood, B. Hallgren · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2003
The Embedded Local Monitor Board (ELMB) is a credit-card sized plug-on board, designed as a general-purpose CAN-bus based building block for various control and monitoring tasks in the LHC experiments. The latest and final version of the hardware in combination with the firmware shows to have even better radiation tolerance than before. This and the ELMB's low cost, low power consumption, software support - both low-level and high-level - have made the ELMB the solution of choice in a wide variety of control and monitoring applications. For the LHC experiments a total of ca. 10000 pieces will be produced.
