WECPL01 | Status of the Control System for Fully Integrated SACLA/SPring-8 Accelerator Complex and New 3 GeV Light Source Being Constructed at Tohoku, Japan | 904 |
|
||
In the SPring-8 upgrade project, we plan to use the linear accelerator of SACLA as a full-energy injector to the storage ring. For the purpose of simultaneous operation of XFEL lasing and on-demand injection, we developed a new control framework that inherits the concepts of MADOCA. We plan to use the same control framework for a 3 GeV light source under construction at Tohoku, Japan. Messaging of the new control system is based on the MQTT protocol, which enables slow control and data acquisition with sub-second response time. The data acquisition framework, named MDAQ, covers both periodic polling and event-synchronizing data. To ensure scalability, we applied a key-value storage scheme, Apache Cassandra, to the logging database of the MDAQ. We also developed a new parameter database scheme, that handles operational parameter sets for XFEL lasing and on-demand top-up injection. These parameter sets are combined into 60 Hz operation patterns. For the top-up injection, we can select the operational pattern every second on an on-demand basis. In this paper, we report an overview of the new control system and the preliminary results of the integrated operation of SACLA and SPring-8. | ||

WEPHA112 | Database Scheme for On-Demand Beam Route Switching Operations at SACLA/SPring-8 | 1352 |
|
||
At SACLA, the X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility, we have been operating the electron linac in time-sharing (equal duty) mode between beamlines. The next step is to vary the duty factor on an on-demand basis and to bring the beam into the SP8 storage ring. It is a part of a big picture of an upgrade*. The low-emittance beam is ideal for the next generation storage ring. In every 60 Hz repetition cycle, we have to deal a bunch of electrons properly. The challenge here is we must keep the beam quality for the XFEL demands while responding occasional injection requests from the storage ring**. This paper describes the database system that supports both SACLA/SP8 operations. The system is a combination of RDB and NoSQL databases. In the on-demand beam switching operation, the RDB part keeps the parameters to define sequences, which include a set of one-second route patterns, and a bucket sequence for the injection, etc. As for data analysis, it is going to be a post-process to build an event for a certain route, because not all equipment get the route command in real time. We present the preparation status toward the standard operation for beamline users.

THAPP03 | Construction of Beam Monitor Control System for Beam Transport From SACLA to SPring-8 | 1544 |
|
||
In a part of the SPring-8 upgrade project, the SACLA linac will be used as the injector for the SPring-8 storage ring. We will upgrade the beam monitor system for beam transport, which consists of screen monitor (SCM), beam position monitor (BPM) and current monitor (CT). For the SCM, we adopted GigE Vision standard for the CCD camera and EtherCAT as a field bus for the stepper motor control of focusing system. We have developed camera control software using open source libraries to integrate various vendors’ GigE Vision cameras with the SPring-8 control framework. A grabbed image is stored into the file server and property, such as camera settings for image and event number, is stored into the database. The BPM is a key device for precise and stable injection. We adopted the commercially available MTCA.4 fast ADC/DAC module with modified firmware developed for readout of the BPM and the CT. We are developing acquisition software for MTCA.4 modules to synchronize with a beam trigger. The acquired data are stored into the database with time stamp and event number. We present the preparation of beam monitor control system for the beam transport to injection from SACLA to SPring-8. | ||
