  Taiwan Light Source (TLS) is a 1.5 GeV synchrotron based light source and its booster synchrotron was delivered in 1992. Due to the new project Taiwan Photon Source proceeded at the same site, some up-to-date device are available now before TPS civil construction complete and temporarily adapted for TLS booster to improve its operations. The major parameters of the TLS booster synchrotron are measured. It also provides a chance to experience for the TPS project booster diagnostic.

  TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) is a 3 GeV synchrotron light source which is being in construction at NSRRC. As most of 3rd generation light sources, the fast orbit feedback system would be adopted to eliminate various disturbances and improve orbit stability. Due to the vacuum chamber material made of aluminum with higher conductivity and lower bandwidth, both of slow and fast correctors will be used for FOFB correction. In general, there are two schemes to operate these hybrid correctors. One is to transfer correction from fast to slow correctors periodically and avoid fast corrector saturation. The other is the fast correctors operated only at higher frequency domain and slow ones take care of DC part. TPS would adopt the first scheme but the second one still as a substitute. Both schemes will be supported. This report summarizes the infrastructure of the FOFB and the simulation is also presented.

  Low latency, distributed, Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) application, based on singular value decomposition, entirely implemented in FPGA, has been developed for the Taiwan Photos Source (TPS). The FOFB utilizes the latest Libera Brilliance+ units for measuring beam position and the Gigabit Data eXchange (GDX) modules, which take care of global orbit distribution via 6.5 Gbit/s fiber optic or passive Cu links, and provide a large orbit data history buffer. The magnet correction in a matrix form of M = V . PI( S-1 . UT . ( Golden-Orbit ) ) is calculated entirely in FPGA, using a massively parallel approach and sent to the magnet power supplies via 2.5 Gbit/s link. The entire FOFB calculation is distributed over 48 GDX modules and the system allows for synchronous (on/off/pause) FOFB control via external input signal. The latencies of 60 ns per BPM for orbit distribution, 1.5 us for FOFB calculation and 1.5 us for magnet data transmission have been measured at TPS test installation in November 2012. The expected total communication and FOFB calculation latency in the TPS final configuration (168 BPMs) is expected to stay within 15-20 us range.

  The EPICS framework was chosen as control system infrastructure for the new project of 3 GeV synchrotron light source (Taiwan Photon Source, TPS). Various control system prototypes of TPS with the EPICS mechanism have been gradually built and tested. One EPICS archive system is necessary to be developed to record various machine parameters and status information for long time logging. The archive system of CSS (Control System Studio) which named BEAUTY (Best Ever Archive Toolset, yet) was built to be used as the TPS data archive system in 3rd quarter of 2012. An archive engine takes PV data from EPICS IOCs via channel access, and stores them in the data storage. The PostgreSQL RDB (Relational Database) was adopted as the data storage for the BEAUTY. Both the historic PVs data and the archive engine configuration are saved into the same RDB. The archived data can be retrieved in a form of graphical representation using the CSS-based data browser. Taking the performance and redundancy into considerations, the storage servers and RDB table structures are tuned relatively. The efforts will be described at this report.
