A proton therapy facility with multiple gantry treatment rooms is under development in HUST (Huazhong University of Science and Technology), which is based on isochronous superconducting cyclotron scheme. The 250MeV/500nA proton beam will be extracted from a superconducting cyclotron and injected into the beam-line. Many beam diagnostic instruments are distributed throughout the beam line to measure the beam profile, position, current, loss, energy and energy spread. Some of them will send the beam information to the treatment control system (TCS) and serve as the safety interlock. This paper presents the considerations for the distribution of beam diagnostic instruments and shows the layout of beam diagnostics monitors in the beamline.
