  The superconducting (SC) cavities for the LEP200 energy upgrade will be installed in units of 16 as for the present copper cavity system. Similar equipment will be used for RF power generation and distribution, for the low level RF system and for digital control. The SC cavities and their associated equipment however require different interface hardware and new control software. To simplify routine operation control of the SC cavity units is made to resemble as closely as possible that of the existing units. Specific controls for the SC cavities at the equipment level, the facilities available and the integration of the SC cavity units into the LEP RF control system are described.

S12FC01 Feedback – Closing the Loop Digitall controls, feedback, LLRF, software 408

  Many feedback and feedforward systems are now using microprocessors within the loop. We describe the wide range of possibilities and problems that arise. We also propose some ideas for analysis and testing, including examples of motion control in the Flying Wire systems in Main Ring and Tevatron and Low Level RF control now being built for the Fermilab Linac upgrade. The standard techniques used to design and analyze analog feedback systems can also be applied to digital systems. It is desirable to consider frequency response, maximum tolerable error, and stability questions for systems controlled by processors. In modern digital systems a considerable amount of software not only replaces analog circuit functions but also allows additional features to be built into the system.

S14OOP05 An Object-Oriented Implementation of the TRIUMF 92 MHz Booster Cavity Control System controls, booster, database, cyclotron 520

  A 92 MHz auxiliary accelerating cavity has been designed for installation inside the 1RIUMF cyclotron, operating up to a maximum peak voltage of 200 kV. The cavity doubles the energy gain per turn for accelerating hydrogen ions in the energy region of 400-500 MeV, and reduces by 50 % the stripping loss of the ion beam. The control system for the booster comprises a PC-based processor in a VME crate, for local control, and a 68030 processor with an Ethernet connection as the interface to the TRIUMF Central Control System. The requirements for the booster control system were established by an object-oriented requirements analysis. Afterward, an object-oriented architectural design step was used to produce the processor allocation of the design, which was then implemented using C, for the VME processor, and a commercial database and screen generator product, for the VAX user interface.
