	We have developed MicroTCA.4-based versatile BPM readout electronics for the SPring-8 upgrade project, SPring-8-II (). The input signals are processed by an rf front-end rear transition module (RTM) with band-pass filters, amplifiers, and step attenuators and digitized by 16-bit 370 MSPS high-speed digitizers on an advanced mezzanine card (AMC). The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the AMC calculates both single-pass and COD beam positions. The current BPM system at SPring-8 consists of approximately twenty single-pass dedicated BPMs and over two hundred other COD dedicated ones. In advance of SPring-8-II, so far, we renewed half of the single-pass dedicated BPM electronics to the MicroTCA.4. A graphical user interface (GUI) for the new BPM system was also developed and ready for tuning. The single-pass BPM resolution was confirmed to be better than 100 um for a 100 pC single bunch, sufficient for SPring-8-II. The other existing single-pass BPM electronics will also be renewed this summer. The full renewal of remaining COD dedicated BPM electronics to the versatile MicroTCA.4 ones is planned in the subsequent years before the construction of SPring-8-II. () H.

	Beam power at the LCLS-II linac and FEL can be as high as several hundered kW with CW beam rates up to 1 MHz. The new MPS has a latency of less than 100 µs to prevent damage when a fault or beam loss is detected. The MPS architecture encompasses the multiple FEL beamlines served by the SC linac and can mitigate a fault in one beamline without impacting the beam rate in a neighboring beamline. The MPS receives inputs from various devices including loss monitors and charge monitors as well as magnet power supplies and BPMs to pre-emptively turn of the beam if a fault condition is detected. Link nodes distributed around the facility gather the input data and stream it back to a central processor that signals other link nodes connected to beam rate control devices. Commmissioning and experience with the new system will be described.

The single-pass BPM resolution was confirmed to be better than 100 um for a 100 pC single bunch, sufficient for SPring-8-II. The other existing single-pass BPM electronics will also be renewed this summer. The full renewal of remaining COD dedicated BPM electronics to the versatile MicroTCA.4 ones is planned in the subsequent years before the construction of SPring-8-II.
