  The SIS100 heavy ion synchrotron will be the central machine of the FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ions Research) project currently designed at GSI. The unique features of SIS100, like e.g. the acceleration of high intensity beams of 2.5·1013 protons and 5·1011 Uranium ions near the space charge limit, the anticipated large tune spread, extreme UHV conditions of the cryogenic system for superconducting magnets and fast ramp rates of 4 T/s, make challenging demands on the beam diagnostic components. This contribution describes the conceptual design for SIS100 beam diagnostics and reports on the present status of prototype studies. Exemplarily the progress concerning beam position monitors, beam current transformers and beam-loss monitors is presented.

  GSI has selected the CERN Front End Software Architecture (FESA) to operate future beam diagnostic devices for the upcoming FAIR facility. The FESA framework is installed and operational at the GSI site, giving equipment specialists the possibility to develop FESA classes for device control and data acquisition. This contribution outlines first developments of FESA-based systems for various applications. Prototype DAQ systems based on FESA are the BPM system of the synchrotron SIS18 with data rates up to 7 GBit/s and a large scaler setup for particle counters called LASSIE. FESA classes that address gigabit Ethernet cameras are used for video imaging tasks like scintillator screen observation. Control oriented FESA classes access industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for the slow control of beam diagnostic devices. To monitor temperatures and set fan speeds of VME crates, a class communicating over the CAN bus has been developed.
