TUCPL01 | Refurbishment of the ESRF Accelerator Synchronization System Using White Rabbit | ion, SRF, network, timing | 224 |
|
|||
The ESRF timing system, dating from the early 90's and still in operation, is built around a centralized RF driven sequencer distributing synchronization signals along copper cables. The RF clock is broadcasted over a separate copper network. White Rabbit, offers many attractive features for the refurbishment of a synchrotron timing system, the key one being the possibility to carry RF over the White Rabbit optical fiber network. CERN having improved the feature to provide network-wide phase together with frequency control over the distributed RF, the whole technology is now mature enough to propose a White Rabbit based solution for the replacement of the ESRF system, providing flexibility and accurate time stamping of events. We describe here the main features and first performance results of the WHIST module, an ESRF development based on the White Rabbit standalone SPEC board embedding the White Rabbit protocol and a custom mezzanine (DDSIO) extending the FMC-DDS hardware to provide up to 12 programmable output signals. All WHIST modules in the network run in phase duplicates of a common RF driven sequencer. A master module broadcasts the RF and the injection trigger. | |||

TUPHA014 | Booster RF Upgrade for SPEAR3 | ion, controls, EPICS, interface | 401 |
|
|||
Funding: Work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science under Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 SLAC's SPEAR3 Booster RF system was recently upgraded where the existing klystron providing RF power to a 5-cell cavity was replaced with a Solid State Amplifier (SSA). The Low Level RF Controls (LLRF) to drive the SSA was provided by a high performance FPGA based system built on SLAC ATCA modules. RF Cavity Tuner Controls were replaced with EtherCAT-based stepper motor controller. New hardware was designed and built for PLC-based Machine Protection System (MPS). Fast digitizers to sample and acquire LLRF signals were implemented in a LinuxRT Server. All of these required new Controls Software implementation. This poster illustrates the Controls associated with each of the above hardware. |

THPHA018 | Upgrade of Control System of ALBA Main Booster Power Supplies | ion, power-supply, controls, operation | 1374 |
|
|||
This article introduce a project for upgrading the control system of the main booster power supplies of ALBA synchrotron. A brief description of the booster power supplies and the motivation for this upgrade is given. The several options for the upgrade that are being evaluated are discussed. Different possible architectures are also presented. Finally, conclusions about how to face this kind of project are given. | |||
