The Circular Polarizing Undulator (CPU) had been used for about 10 years at the APS to generate X-rays with variable polarization (circular and linear) switching at rates up to 10 Hz. The CPU consists of two main coils with maximal currents 1600A (about 30kW power) and 400A (4kW power) and seven additional correcting coils. Aging and obsolescence of some of the CPU PS critical components resulted in deterioration of its performance and elevated maintenance. To resolve the issue and to comply with the new requirements for the beam stability at the APS storage ring, the new PS and control electronics for the CPU have been proposed. The new 8-channel Arbitrary Function Generator generating unique complex waveforms for the correctors to minimize orbit distortion during the main coils PS switching will also be discussed in this paper. |
