	The description of new automated control system of Kurchatov synchrotron radiation source which is realized at present time is presented in the paper. The necessity of automated control system modernization is explained by the equipment replacement in which we take state of art hardware decisions for facility control and increase the performances of facility control system. In particular, the number of control channels are increase, the processing and transmitting data speed are considerably increase and the requirements to measurement accuracy are become more strict. The paper presents the detailed description of all control levels (lower, server and upper) of new automated control system and integration of SCADA-system Citect into facility control system which provides the facility control, alarms notify, detailed reports preparation, acquisition and storage of historical data et al.

	E. D. Matias, M. Benmerrouche, G. Cubbon, A. Hodges, H. Zhang CLS, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
	All large scale particle accelerator facilities end up utilising computerised safety systems for the accelerator access control and interlock system including search lockup sequences and other safety functions. Increasingly there has been a strong move toward IEC 61508 based standards in the design of these systems. CLS designed and deployed its first IEC 61508 based system nearly 10 years ago. The challenge has increasingly been to manage the complexity of requirements and ensure that features being added into such systems were truly requirements to achieve safety. Over the past few years CLS has moved to a more structured Hazard Analysis technique that is tightly coupled and traceable through the design and verification of its engineered safety systems. This paper presents the CLS approach and lessons learned.

	J-L. Veray, A. Bonny, J-L. Paillard LULI, Palaiseau, France
	Funding: CNRS, MESR, CG91, CRiDF, ANR Cilex-Apollon is a high intensity laser facility delivering at least 5 PW pulses on targets at one shot per minute, to study physics such as laser plasma electron or ion accelerator and laser plasma X-Ray sources. Under construction, Apollon is a four beam laser installation with two target areas. Such a facility causes many risks, in particular laser and ionizing radiations. The Personal Safety System (PSS) ensures to both decrease impact of dangers and limit exposure to them. Based on a risk analysis, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) has been assessed respecting international norms IEC 62061 and IEC 61511-3. To conceive a high reliability system a SIL 2 is required. The PSS is based on four laser risk levels corresponding to the different uses of Apollon. The study has been conducted according to norm EN 60825. Independent from the main command -control network the distributed system is made of a safety PLC and equipment, communicating through a safety network. The article presents the concepts, the architecture the client-server architecture, from control screens to sensors and actuators and interfaces to the access control system and the synchronization and sequence system.

	M. Justus, I. Koesterke, P. Michel HZDR, Dresden, Germany S. Kraft, U. Schramm Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Institute of Radiation Physics, Dresden, Germany S. Lenk SAAS, Bannewitz, Germany
	The ELBE facility (Electron Linear accelerator with high Brightness and low Emittance) is being upgraded towards a Center for High Power Radiation Sources in conjunction with Terawatt & Petawatt femtosecond lasers. The topological facility expansion and an increased number of radiation sources made a replacement of the former personnel safety system (PSS) necessary. The new system based on failsafe PLCs was designed to fulfil the requirements of radiation protection according to effective law, where it combines both laser and radiation safety for the new laser based particle sources. Conceptual design and general specification was done in-house, while detailed design and installation were carried out in close cooperation with an outside firm. The article describes architecture, functions and some technical features of the new ELBE PSS. Special focus is on the implementation of IEC 61508 and the project track. The system was integrated in an existing (and mostly running) facility and is liable to third party approval. Operational experience after one year of run-time is also given.

MOPPC048	Evaluation of the Beamline Personnel Safety System at ANKA under the Aegis of the 'Designated Architectures' Approach	software, controls, operation, experiment	195
	K. Cerff, M. Hagelstein FZK, Karlsruhe, Germany I. Birkel, J. Jakel, R. Stricker KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	The Beamline Personnel Safety System (BPSS) at Angstroemquelle Karlsruhe (ANKA) started operation in 2003. The paper describes the safety related design and evaluation of serial, parallel and nested radiation safety areas, which allows the flexible plug-in of experimental setups at ANKA-beamlines. It evaluates the resulting requirements for safety system hard- and software and the necessary validation procedure defined by current national and international standards, based on probabilistic reliability parameters supplied by component libraries of manufacturers and an approach known as 'Designated Architectures', defining safety functions in terms of sensor-logic-actor chains. An ANKA-beamline example is presented with special regards to features like (self-) Diagnostic Coverage (DC) of the control system, which is not part of classical Markov process modelling of systems safety.

	As part of the refurbishment of the PS Personnel Protection system, the radioprotection (RP) buffer zones & equipment have been incorporated into the design of the new access points providing an integrated access concept to the radiation controlled areas of the PS complex. The integration of the RP and access control equipment has been very challenging due to the lack of space in many of the zones. Although successfully carried out, our experience from the commissioning of the first installed access points shows that the integration should also include the software tools and procedures. This paper presents an inventory of all the tools and data bases currently used () in order to ensure the access to the CERN radiological areas according to CERN’s safety and radioprotection procedures. We summarize the problems and limitations of each tool as well as the whole process, and propose a number of improvements for the different kinds of users including changes required in each of the tools. The aim is to optimize the access process and the operation & maintenance of the related tools by rationalizing and better integrating them.

	In 2010, the refurbishment of the Personnel Protection System of the CERN Proton Synchrotron complex primary beam areas started. This large scale project was motivated by the obsolescence of the existing system and the objective of rationalizing the personnel protection systems across the CERN accelerators to meet the latest recommendations of the regulatory bodies of the host states. A new generation of access points providing biometric identification, authorization and co-activity clearance, reinforced passage check, and radiation protection related functionalities will allow access to the radiologically classified areas. Using a distributed fail-safe PLC architecture and a diversely redundant logic chain, the cascaded safety system guarantees personnel safety in the 17 machine of the PS complex by acting on the important safety elements of each zone and on the adjacent upstream ones. It covers radiological and activated air hazards from circulating beams as well as laser, and electrical hazards. This paper summarizes the functionalities provided, the new concepts introduced, and, the functional safety methodology followed to deal with the renovation of this 50 year old facility.

MOPPC061	Achieving a Highly Configurable Personnel Protection System for Experimental Areas	PLC, status, interface, controls	238
	F. Havart, D. Chapuis, R. Nunes, D. Vaxelaire CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The personnel protection system of the secondary beam experimental areas at CERN manages the beam and access interlocking mechanism. Its aim is to guarantee the safety of the experimental area users against the hazards of beam radiation and laser light. The highly configurable, interconnected, and modular nature of those areas requires a very versatile system. In order to follow closely the operational changes and new experimental setups and to still keep the required level of safety, the system was designed with a set of matrices which can be quickly reconfigured. Through a common paradigm, based on industrial hardware components, this challenging implementation has been made for both the PS and SPS experimental halls, according to the IEC 61508 standard. The current system is based on a set of hypotheses formed during 25 years of operation. Conscious of the constant increase in complexity and the broadening risk spectrum of the present and future experiments, we propose a framework intended as a practical guide to structure the design of the experimental layouts based on risk evaluation, safety function prescriptions and field equipment capabilities.

	The bio-medical beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) located in Grenoble, France, has recently started the Phase I-II Stereotactic Synchrotron Radiation Therapy (SSRT) clinical trials targeting brain tumours. This very first SSRT protocol consists in a combined therapy where monochromatic X-rays are delivered to the tumour pre-loaded with high Z element. The challenges of this technique are the accurate positioning of the target tumour with respect to the beam and the precision of the dose delivery whilst fully assuring the patient safety. The positioning system used for previous angiography clinical trials has been adapted to this new modality. 3-D imaging is performed for positioning purpose to fit to the treatment planning. The control system of this experiment will be described from the hardware and software point of view with emphasis on the constraints imposed by the Patient Safety System.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The eRHIC electron beams will be damaging both directly and as a result of synchrotron radiation. The machine protection and abort systems will be designed to prevent any equipment damage from the electron beams. In this paper we will review the requirements for the machine protection systems and the plans we have put into place to better evaluate the failure probabilities, beam abort systems designs, and overall machine protection systems designs. The machine protection systems will include a beam permit system that has inputs from loss monitors, power supplies, superconducting RF monitors, vacuum chamber heating monitors, water temperature, quench detectors, access controls systems, vacuum monitors, and longer term beam lifetime or slow loss monitors. There are three systems associated with the machine protection and beam abort systems; the beam permit link, the abort kicker systems, and the beam dumps. We describe the requirements for these systems and present our current plans for how to meet the requirements.

	A carborne survey system named as KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdiation MApping system) has been developed as a response to the nuclear accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. Now the system evolved into a CompactRIO-based KURAMA-II, and serves for the various types of applications. More than a hundred of KURAMA-II are deployed for the periodical drawing of the radiation map in the East Japan by Japanese government. A continuous radiation monitoring by KURAMA-II on local buses is started in Fukushima prefecture as the collaboration project among Kyoto University, Fukushima prefectural government, and JAEA. Extended applications such as precise radiation mappings in farmlands and parks are also on the way. The present status and future prospects of KURAMA and KURAMA-II are introduced.

TUCOCA07	A Streamlined Architecture of LCLS-II Beam Containment System	PLC, distributed, controls, diagnostics	930
	E. Carrone, M.D. Cyterski, J.M. Murphy, F. Tao SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	With the construction of LCLS-II, SLAC is developing a new Beam Containment System (BCS) to replace the aging hardwired system. This system will ensure that the beam is confined to the design channel at an approved beam power to prevent unacceptable radiation levels in occupable areas. Unlike other safety systems deployed at SLAC, the new BCS is distributed and has explicit response time requirements, which impose design constraints on system architecture. The design process complies with IEC 61508 and the system will have systematic capability SC3. This paper discusses the BCS built on Siemens S7-300F PLC. For those events requiring faster action, a hardwired shutoff path is provided in addition to peer safety functions within PLC; safety performance is enhanced, and the additional diagnostic capabilities significantly relieve operational cost and burden. The new system is also more scalable and flexible, featuring improved configuration control, simplified EPICS interface and reduced safety assurance testing efforts. The new architecture fully leverages the safety PLC capabilities and streamlines design and commissioning through a single-processor single-programmer approach.

	Funding: Kalsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute for Data Processing and Electronics; China Scholarship Council The ultrafast tomography system built up at the ANKA Synchrotron Light Source at KIT makes possible the study of moving biological objects with high temporal and spatial resolution. The resulting amounts of data are challenging in terms of reconstruction algorithm, automatic processing software and computing. The standard operated reconstruction method yields limited quality of reconstruction images due to much fewer projections obtained from the ultrafast tomography. Thus an algebraic reconstruction technique based on a more precise forward transform model and compressive sampling theory is investigated. It results in high quality images, but is computationally very intensive. For near real–time reconstruction, an automatic workflow is started after data ingest, processing a full volume data in parallel using the Hadoop cluster at the Large Scale Data Facility (LSDF) to reduce the computing time greatly. It will not only provide better reconstruction results but also higher data analysis efficiency to users. This study contributes to the construction of the fast tomography system at ANKA and will enhance its application in the fields of chemistry, biology and new materials.

THPPC025	The Interaction between Safety Interlock and Motion Control Systems on the Dingo Radiography Instrument at the OPAL Research Reactor	collimation, controls, neutron, shielding	1141
	P.N. Barron, D. Bartlett ANSTO, Menai, Australia
	A neutron radiography/tomography instrument (Dingo) has recently been commissioned at the Bragg Institute, ANSTO. It utilizes thermal beam HB2 of the OPAL research reactor with flux up to 4.75 x 10⁷ neutrons cm^-2 s⁻¹ at the sample. One component of the instrument is a 2.5 tonne selector wheel filled with a wax/steel shielding mixture which requires complex interaction between the safety interlock and motion control systems. It provides six apertures which are equipped with various neutron beam optics plus a solid ‘shutter’ section to block the beam. A standardized Galil based motion system precisely controls the movement of the wheel while a Pilz safety PLC specifies the desired position and handles other safety aspects of the instrument. A shielded absolute SSI encoder is employed to give high accuracy feedback on the position in conjunction with a number or limit switches. This paper details the challenges of creating a motion system with inherent safety, verifying the wheel meets specifications and the considerations in selecting components to withstand high radiation environments.

	The paper focuses on the results of commission and usage of the electron beam orbit measurement system at synchrotron radiation source SIBERIA-2 realized at present time at Kurchatov Institute. The main purpose of new orbit measurement system creation is an improvement of the electron beam diagnostic system at the storage ring. This system provides continuous measurements of the electron beam closed orbit during storing, ramping and operation for users. Besides, with the help of the system it is possible to carry out turn-by-turn measurements of the electron beam trajectory during injection process. After installation of new orbit measurement system we obtained a very good instrument to study electron beam dynamics into the main storage ring in detail. The paper describes the new orbit measurement system, its technical performance, the results of commission and our experience.

	The description of feedback system for dumping coherent betatron and synchrotron oscillations of the electron beam which is realized at present time at the dedicated synchrotron radiation storage ring SIBERIA-2 in Kurchatov Institute is presented in the paper. The installation of new feedback system into the main ring SIBERIA-2 will allow to improve the quality of synchrotron radiation beams. In particular, at the beam injection energy (450 MeV) with the help of new feedback system we can increase maximum stored beam current and at operation beam energy (2.5 GeV) the system will provide additional electron beam spatial stabilization. The paper describes new feedback system description, the principle of operation and its technical characteristics. As well, we describe in detail the design of kickers (especially for longitudinal plane) used into the system as they are one of the important feedback system components.

THCOBB06	CLIC-ACM: Acquisition and Control System	timing, controls, network, survey	1404
	B.P. Bielawski, F. Locci, S. Magnoni CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) is a world-wide collaboration to study the next “terascale” lepton collider, relying upon a very innovative concept of two-beam-acceleration. In this scheme, the power is transported to the main accelerating structures by a primary electron beam. The Two Beam Module (TBM) is a compact integration with a high filling factor of all components: RF, Magnets, Instrumentation, Vacuum, Alignment and Stabilization. This paper describes the very challenging aspects of designing the compact system to serve as a dedicated Acquisition & Control Module (ACM) for all signals of the TBM. Very delicate conditions must be considered, in particular radiation doses that could reach several kGy in the tunnel. In such severe conditions shielding and hardened electronics will have to be taken into consideration. In addition, with more than 300 channels per ACM and about 21000 ACMs in total, it appears clearly that power consumption will be an important issue. It is also obvious that digitalization of the signals acquisition will take place at the lowest possible hardware level and that neither the local processor, nor the operating system shall be used inside the ACM.

As part of the refurbishment of the PS Personnel Protection system, the radioprotection (RP) buffer zones & equipment have been incorporated into the design of the new access points providing an integrated access concept to the radiation controlled areas of the PS complex. The integration of the RP and access control equipment has been very challenging due to the lack of space in many of the zones. Although successfully carried out, our experience from the commissioning of the first installed access points shows that the integration should also include the software tools and procedures. This paper presents an inventory of all the tools and data bases currently used (*) in order to ensure the access to the CERN radiological areas according to CERN’s safety and radioprotection procedures. We summarize the problems and limitations of each tool as well as the whole process, and propose a number of improvements for the different kinds of users including changes required in each of the tools. The aim is to optimize the access process and the operation & maintenance of the related tools by rationalizing and better integrating them.

In 2010, the refurbishment of the Personnel Protection System of the CERN Proton Synchrotron complex primary beam areas started. This large scale project was motivated by the obsolescence of the existing system and the objective of rationalizing the personnel protection systems across the CERN accelerators to meet the latest recommendations of the regulatory bodies of the host states. A new generation of access points providing biometric identification, authorization and co-activity clearance, reinforced passage check, and radiation protection related functionalities will allow access to the radiologically classified areas. Using a distributed fail-safe PLC architecture and a diversely redundant logic chain, the cascaded safety system guarantees personnel safety in the 17 machine of the PS complex by acting on the important safety elements of each zone and on the adjacent upstream ones. It covers radiological and activated air hazards from circulating beams as well as laser, and electrical hazards. This paper summarizes the functionalities provided, the new concepts introduced, and, the functional safety methodology followed to deal with the renovation of this 50 year old facility.

The personnel protection system of the secondary beam experimental areas at CERN manages the beam and access interlocking mechanism. Its aim is to guarantee the safety of the experimental area users against the hazards of beam radiation and laser light. The highly configurable, interconnected, and modular nature of those areas requires a very versatile system. In order to follow closely the operational changes and new experimental setups and to still keep the required level of safety, the system was designed with a set of matrices which can be quickly reconfigured. Through a common paradigm, based on industrial hardware components, this challenging implementation has been made for both the PS and SPS experimental halls, according to the IEC 61508 standard. The current system is based on a set of hypotheses formed during 25 years of operation. Conscious of the constant increase in complexity and the broadening risk spectrum of the present and future experiments, we propose a framework intended as a practical guide to structure the design of the experimental layouts based on risk evaluation, safety function prescriptions and field equipment capabilities.

The bio-medical beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) located in Grenoble, France, has recently started the Phase I-II Stereotactic Synchrotron Radiation Therapy (SSRT) clinical trials targeting brain tumours. This very first SSRT protocol consists in a combined therapy where monochromatic X-rays are delivered to the tumour pre-loaded with high Z element. The challenges of this technique are the accurate positioning of the target tumour with respect to the beam and the precision of the dose delivery whilst fully assuring the patient safety. The positioning system used for previous angiography clinical trials has been adapted to this new modality. 3-D imaging is performed for positioning purpose to fit to the treatment planning. The control system of this experiment will be described from the hardware and software point of view with emphasis on the constraints imposed by the Patient Safety System.

Hitz Hitachi Zosen has developed new pulse motor controller. This controller which controls two axes per one controller implements high performance processor, pulse control device and peripheral interface. This controller has simply extensibility and various interface and realizes low price. We are able to operate the controller through Ethernet TCP/IP(or FLnet). Also, the controller can control max 16 axes. In addition, we want to drive the motor controller in optics hatch filled with weak radiation. If we can put the controller in optics hatch, wiring will become simple because of closed wiring in optics hatch . Therefore we have evaluated controller electronics running under weak radiation.

Solaris is a third generation Polish Synchrotron under construction at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. Furthermore, National Synchrotron Radiation Center is member of the Tango Collaboration. The project is based on the 1.5 GeV storage ring being at the simultaneously built for the MAX IV project in Lund, Sweden. The Solaris project is a prime example of the benefits of use EU regional development funds and sharing of knowledge and resources for the rapid establishment of a national research infrastructure. The Solaris develops highly customizable and adaptable application called the GeoSynoptic Panel. Main goal of the GeoSynoptic Panel is to provide a graphical map of devices based on information stored in the Tango database. It is achieved by providing additional device/class properties which describe location and graphical components (such as icons and particular GUI window) related to a particular device or class . The application is expected to reduce time needed for preparation of synoptic applications for each individual (part of) machines or subsystems and to reduce effort related to debugging and change management.

The eRHIC electron beams will be damaging both directly and as a result of synchrotron radiation. The machine protection and abort systems will be designed to prevent any equipment damage from the electron beams. In this paper we will review the requirements for the machine protection systems and the plans we have put into place to better evaluate the failure probabilities, beam abort systems designs, and overall machine protection systems designs. The machine protection systems will include a beam permit system that has inputs from loss monitors, power supplies, superconducting RF monitors, vacuum chamber heating monitors, water temperature, quench detectors, access controls systems, vacuum monitors, and longer term beam lifetime or slow loss monitors. There are three systems associated with the machine protection and beam abort systems; the beam permit link, the abort kicker systems, and the beam dumps. We describe the requirements for these systems and present our current plans for how to meet the requirements.

A carborne survey system named as KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdiation MApping system) has been developed as a response to the nuclear accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. Now the system evolved into a CompactRIO-based KURAMA-II, and serves for the various types of applications. More than a hundred of KURAMA-II are deployed for the periodical drawing of the radiation map in the East Japan by Japanese government. A continuous radiation monitoring by KURAMA-II on local buses is started in Fukushima prefecture as the collaboration project among Kyoto University, Fukushima prefectural government, and JAEA. Extended applications such as precise radiation mappings in farmlands and parks are also on the way. The present status and future prospects of KURAMA and KURAMA-II are introduced.

With the construction of LCLS-II, SLAC is developing a new Beam Containment System (BCS) to replace the aging hardwired system. This system will ensure that the beam is confined to the design channel at an approved beam power to prevent unacceptable radiation levels in occupable areas. Unlike other safety systems deployed at SLAC, the new BCS is distributed and has explicit response time requirements, which impose design constraints on system architecture. The design process complies with IEC 61508 and the system will have systematic capability SC3. This paper discusses the BCS built on Siemens S7-300F PLC. For those events requiring faster action, a hardwired shutoff path is provided in addition to peer safety functions within PLC; safety performance is enhanced, and the additional diagnostic capabilities significantly relieve operational cost and burden. The new system is also more scalable and flexible, featuring improved configuration control, simplified EPICS interface and reduced safety assurance testing efforts. The new architecture fully leverages the safety PLC capabilities and streamlines design and commissioning through a single-processor single-programmer approach.

The ultrafast tomography system built up at the ANKA Synchrotron Light Source at KIT makes possible the study of moving biological objects with high temporal and spatial resolution. The resulting amounts of data are challenging in terms of reconstruction algorithm, automatic processing software and computing. The standard operated reconstruction method yields limited quality of reconstruction images due to much fewer projections obtained from the ultrafast tomography. Thus an algebraic reconstruction technique based on a more precise forward transform model and compressive sampling theory is investigated. It results in high quality images, but is computationally very intensive. For near real–time reconstruction, an automatic workflow is started after data ingest, processing a full volume data in parallel using the Hadoop cluster at the Large Scale Data Facility (LSDF) to reduce the computing time greatly. It will not only provide better reconstruction results but also higher data analysis efficiency to users. This study contributes to the construction of the fast tomography system at ANKA and will enhance its application in the fields of chemistry, biology and new materials.

A neutron radiography/tomography instrument (Dingo) has recently been commissioned at the Bragg Institute, ANSTO. It utilizes thermal beam HB2 of the OPAL research reactor with flux up to 4.75 x 10⁷ neutrons cm^-2 s⁻¹ at the sample. One component of the instrument is a 2.5 tonne selector wheel filled with a wax/steel shielding mixture which requires complex interaction between the safety interlock and motion control systems. It provides six apertures which are equipped with various neutron beam optics plus a solid ‘shutter’ section to block the beam. A standardized Galil based motion system precisely controls the movement of the wheel while a Pilz safety PLC specifies the desired position and handles other safety aspects of the instrument. A shielded absolute SSI encoder is employed to give high accuracy feedback on the position in conjunction with a number or limit switches. This paper details the challenges of creating a motion system with inherent safety, verifying the wheel meets specifications and the considerations in selecting components to withstand high radiation environments.

The paper focuses on the results of commission and usage of the electron beam orbit measurement system at synchrotron radiation source SIBERIA-2 realized at present time at Kurchatov Institute. The main purpose of new orbit measurement system creation is an improvement of the electron beam diagnostic system at the storage ring. This system provides continuous measurements of the electron beam closed orbit during storing, ramping and operation for users. Besides, with the help of the system it is possible to carry out turn-by-turn measurements of the electron beam trajectory during injection process. After installation of new orbit measurement system we obtained a very good instrument to study electron beam dynamics into the main storage ring in detail. The paper describes the new orbit measurement system, its technical performance, the results of commission and our experience.

The description of feedback system for dumping coherent betatron and synchrotron oscillations of the electron beam which is realized at present time at the dedicated synchrotron radiation storage ring SIBERIA-2 in Kurchatov Institute is presented in the paper. The installation of new feedback system into the main ring SIBERIA-2 will allow to improve the quality of synchrotron radiation beams. In particular, at the beam injection energy (450 MeV) with the help of new feedback system we can increase maximum stored beam current and at operation beam energy (2.5 GeV) the system will provide additional electron beam spatial stabilization. The paper describes new feedback system description, the principle of operation and its technical characteristics. As well, we describe in detail the design of kickers (especially for longitudinal plane) used into the system as they are one of the important feedback system components.

CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) is a world-wide collaboration to study the next “terascale” lepton collider, relying upon a very innovative concept of two-beam-acceleration. In this scheme, the power is transported to the main accelerating structures by a primary electron beam. The Two Beam Module (TBM) is a compact integration with a high filling factor of all components: RF, Magnets, Instrumentation, Vacuum, Alignment and Stabilization. This paper describes the very challenging aspects of designing the compact system to serve as a dedicated Acquisition & Control Module (ACM) for all signals of the TBM. Very delicate conditions must be considered, in particular radiation doses that could reach several kGy in the tunnel. In such severe conditions shielding and hardened electronics will have to be taken into consideration. In addition, with more than 300 channels per ACM and about 21000 ACMs in total, it appears clearly that power consumption will be an important issue. It is also obvious that digitalization of the signals acquisition will take place at the lowest possible hardware level and that neither the local processor, nor the operating system shall be used inside the ACM.
