A remote diagnostic monitoring of operating states for physical components of a particle accelerator system includes generating, by at least one processor, a component hierarchy corresponding to a physical arrangement of one or more physical components of a particle emitting system and including corresponding operating indicators of operating states of the physical components, identifying, by the at least one processor, a faulted physical component among the physical components, identifying, by the at least one processor, one or more fault path components among the physical components, the fault path components corresponding to a portion of the physical arrangement associated with the faulted physical component, and modifying, by the at least one processor, the operating indicators of the fault path components to fault state indicators.

Method and system for remote monitoring of proton beam emitting and delivery systems

A remote diagnostic control of physical components of a particle accelerator system includes presenting, by at least one processor at a first physical location, a fault control interface including at least one control affordance corresponding to a physical component associated with a particle emitting system and a particle delivery system each located at a second physical location remote from the first physical location, and at least one arrangement presentation corresponding to the physical component and at least one physical device including the physical component, the arrangement presentation including a first operating state indicator associated with the physical component and a second operating state indicator associated with the physical device, and in response to activating the control affordance, generating a device command for transmission to the physical component to modify an operating state of the physical component at one or more of the particle emitting system and the particle delivery system, modifying the control affordance, the first operating state indicator, and the second operating state indicator, and presenting the modified control affordance, the modified first operating state indicator, and the modified second operating state indicator at the fault control interface.

Method and system for remote control of proton beam emitting and delivery system

A remote diagnostic monitoring and control of physical components of a particle accelerator system has a particle emitting system located at a first physical site and includes one or more particle emitting system components to operate the particle emitting system, a particle delivery system located at the first physical site and including one or more particle delivery system components to operate the particle delivery system, a particle system gateway located at the first physical site and operatively coupled to the particle emitting system components and the particle delivery system components by a first network interface, and a diagnostic monitoring system located at a second physical site remote from the first physical site, operatively coupled to the particle system gateway by a second network interface, and operable to monitor one or more first operating states corresponding to one or more of the particle emitting system components and one or more second operating states corresponding to one or more of the particle delivery system components, and a diagnostic control system located at the second physical site, operatively coupled to the particle system gateway by a third network interface, and operable to modify one or more of the first operating states of the one or more particle emitting system components and the second operating states the one or more particle delivery system components.

Remote control and remote monitoring infrastructure for proton beam emitting and delivery system

A remote diagnostic monitoring of operating states for physical components of a particle accelerator system includes obtaining, by a processor at a first physical location, one or more operating states corresponding to one or more physical components associated with a particle emitting system and a particle delivery system each located at a second physical location remote from the first physical location, associating the operating states with corresponding operating indicators, generating a component hierarchy corresponding to a physical arrangement of the physical components of the particle emitting system and including the corresponding operating indicators, identifying a faulted physical component among the physical components, identifying fault path components among the physical components, the fault path components corresponding to a portion of the physical arrangement associated with the faulted physical component, modifying the operating indicators of the fault path components to fault state indicators, and presenting a fault monitor presentation including the operating indicators and a faulted component presentation portion corresponding to the fault state indicators.
