PSI is currently developing the 2nd generation of a generic modular electronics platform for linac and storage ring BPMs and other beam diagnostics systems. The first platform, developed in 2004 and based on a generic digital back-end with Xilinx Virtex 2Pro FPGAs, is currently used at PSI for proton accelerator BPMs, resonant stripline BPMs at the SwissFEL test injector facility, and a number of other diagnostics and detector systems. The 2nd platform will be employed e.g. for European XFEL BPMs, a new SLS BPM system, and the SwissFEL BPM system. This paper gives an overview of the architecture, features and applications of the new platform, including interfaces to control, timing and feedback systems. Differences and synergies of the different BPM and non-BPM applications will be discussed.

  PSI is currently developing new BPM electronics for the Swiss Light Source (SLS). Although the present "DBPM1" system that was designed 12 years ago still allows to achieve excellent beam stability and uptime, the development of a new system is motivated by long-term maintenance, improved performance in line with increasing user requirements, and new features and functionality provided by latest electronics technology. The new electronics is based on a generic modular BPM electronics platform developed by PSI that will also be used for linac based FELs like European XFEL and SwissFEL. The hardware and firmware architecture of the present prototypes as well as first test results will be presented.

The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) will use dual-resonator cavity BPMs (CBPMs) in the SASE undulators to measure and stabilize the beam trajectory. The BPM electronics is developed by PSI, while the pickup mechanics is developed by DESY. First beam tests with three adjacent pickups have been performed. The system architecture and algorithms, achieved performance and noise correlation measurements of the present electronics prototypes will be presented.
