TUPPC040	Saclay GBAR Command Control	PLC, software, linac, controls	650
	P. Lotrus CEA, Gif-sur-Yvette, France G.A. Durand CEA/DSM/IRFU, France
	The GBAR experiment will be installed in 2016 at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator, ELENA extension, and will measure the free fall acceleration of neutral antihydrogen atoms. Before construction of GBAR, the CEA/Irfu institute has built a beam line to guide positrons produced by a Linac (linear particle accelerator) through either a materials science line or a Penning trap. The experiment command control is mainly based on Programmable Logical Controllers (PLC). A CEA/Irfu-developed Muscade SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is installed on a Windows 7 embedded shoebox PC. It manages local and remote display, and is responsible for archiving and alarms. Muscade was used because it is rapidly and easily configurable. The project required Muscade to communicate with three different types of PLCs: Schneider, National Instruments (NI) and Siemens. Communication is based on Modbus/TCP and on an in-house protocol optimized for the Siemens PLC. To share information between fast and slow controls, a LabVIEW PC dedicated to the trap fast control communicates with a PLC dedicated to security via Profinet fieldbus.

THPPC033	Upgrade of BPM DAQ System for SuperKEKB Injector Linac	linac, emittance, electron, damping	1153

	The non-destructive beam position monitor (BPM) is indispensable diagnostic tool for the stable beam operation. In the KEK Linac, approximately nineteen BPMs with the strip-line type electrodes are used for the beam orbit measurement and feedback. In addition, some of them are also used for the beam energy feedback loops. The current data acquisition (DAQ) system consists of the fast digital oscilloscopes. A signal from each electrode is analyzed with a predetermined response function up to 50 Hz. In the present DAQ system, the measurement precision of beam position is limited to around 0.5 mm because of ADC resolution. Towards SuperKEKB project, we have a plan to upgrade the BPM DAQ system since the Linac should provide the smaller emittance beam in comparison with previous KEKB Linac. We will report the system description of the new DAQ system and the results of performance test in detail.

	The timing system of the KEKB accelerator will be upgraded for the SuperKEKB project. One of difficulties at SuperKEKB is the positron injection. It takes more than 40ms since positron pulse must be stored at newly constructed damping ring for at least 40ms. Timings of whole accelerators are precisely synchronized for such a long period. We must manage highly frequent injections even with this situation. Typically beam pulse is delivered to one of rings at every 20ms. Besides, the new system must have a capability of realtime selection of injection RF-bucket - we call it "Bucket Selection" at KEKB - for equalizing bunch current at main rings. Bucket Selection also will be upgraded to synchronize buckets of damping ring and those of main rings. This includes the expansion of maximum delay time up to 2ms and the pulse-by-pulse shift of RF phase at 2nd half of injection Linac. We plan to upgrade the Event Timing System from "2-layer type", which simply connect one generator and one receiver, to "cascade type" for satisfying the new injection requirements. We report the basic design of the new timing system and recent studies about key elements of Event Timing System instruments.
