In a close collaboration between physicists and engineers from IHEP and CEN Saclay, a system for quench detection on a UNK superconducting string (from 4 to 100 magnets) has been designed and is now under construction at Saclay; this system also enables the data analysis in normal conditions or in case of a quench. The paper describes the architectural design of the system, the hardware (microprocessors are used for the whole system) and the software. Emphasis will be put on the main problems of construction friability, quench detection at a low level and in a very short time, high voltages, data transmission on long distances and integration in the general system of the accelerator.
