  In particle accelerator facilities knowing the beam loss is crucial for the machine to be running at optimal efficiency. Beam loss can be monitored on different time scales. Time scale of seconds is used at normal operation to detect any irregularities such as changes in the beta function or vacuum drop. Time scale of 1 ms is used to optimize injection, and 1 μs timescale in case of severe problems when the beam does not live for more than a couple of turns. The presented beam loss system (microIOC-BLM) uses Bergoz BLM sensors, Beam loss Signal Conditioner (BSC) for data acquisition and microIOC-CosyIcon as the central processing unit. The system is cost effective, portable and can be expanded with additional measuring points. Selectable counting interval from 100 μs to 10 s covers a large part of the required time scales. The minimum and maximum count rates are limited by the sensor between 1/s to 10 M./s. Trigger and gate signals are supported as is summing over a number of measurements.

  Control solutions for motion applications require high degree of flexibility regarding the use and connectivity. Being fairly simple or highly complex, micro- or millimeter precision, one or multiple axis… the system designer has to tackle specific interfacing issues. One platform should fit different applications and provide cost effective solutions. Flexible software platform is required on one side to satisfy control system (CS) application requirements. On the other side variety of hardware (HW)–controlled by motion controller, i.e., power stages, position feedback–also requires some degree of connection flexibility. Paper presents a design of a motion control platform that offers flexible interfacing both to CS and HW, elegant extendibility options for selection of feedback protocols, low-level direct access for engineering control and enables large distances between controller and motors.
