In a synchrotron, particles are accelerated by repeatedly passing through RF cavities. In the SIS18 synchrotron at GSI, ferrite cavities are used. Each cavity is equipped with local control systems to adjust the amplitude and phase of the accelerating field. In this paper, we consider ferrite cavities of the type that is currently used in the SIS18 at GSI and will be used in the future SIS100 which is being built in the frame of the FAIR project. We analyze the dynamics of the cavities in conjunction with their local control loops. An emphasis is put on the cavities' reaction to changes in the desired amplitude or resonant frequency. Using simulations, we show that the cavities' dynamics hardly influence longitudinal dipole oscillations, and conclude that a high-level model for the RF cavities is sufficient.
