Abstract: A particle therapy system, method and device for requesting a particle beam is provided. The particle therapy system includes an accelerator that accelerates particles; a particle beam directing unit that directs particles to at least one irradiation location; and an assignment unit that assigns and monitors the correct particle beam direction. At least one of the irradiation locations has a control unit connected via a first link to the assignment unit and is operable to request a particle beam for an irradiating operation, so that the presence of the request signal at a signal input of the assignment unit establishes the requesting irradiation location.

Abstract: A particle therapy device and method of designing a radiation path is provided. The particle therapy device comprising an accelerator and particle beam delivery unit that accelerates particles and delivers particles to at least two irradiation positions. A control system monitors and directs the particle along a particle beam path. The control system comprising an assignment unit, at least one control unit disposed at one of the irradiation positions and an accelerator control unit.
