The NSLS-II Active Interlock is the system which protects the NSLS-II Storage Ring vacuum chamber from damage due to synchrotron radiation. The Active Interlock measures the beam position and angle at all insertion devices and issues a beam dump if the beam is outside of the pre-defined window. The window is determined by thermal analysis of vacuum apertures and considers the effects of local magnets such as canting magnets, etc. Recently, it was realized that the insertion device correction coils where not considered in the initial evaluation of the envelope. The purpose of these coils is to correct for the orbit deviations caused by imperfections in the insertion devices that steer the beam. The usual effect is to negate any angle induced by the device, however, if the coil is not set properly the beam may have a larger angle than permitted by the Active Interlock even though the angle calculation does not show it. In this paper we discuss the effect of the insertion device coils on the electron beam and the steps taken to account for this effect in the Active Interlock.

Beginning in January of 2019, 8 of the 10 In-Vacuum Undulators installed in the NSLS-II storage ring underwent in-house in-situ control system upgrades allowing for control of the magnetic gap during motion down to the 50 nanometer level with an in-position accuracy of nearly 5 nanometers. Direct linking of Insertion Devices and beamline monochromators is achieved via a fiber interface allowing precise, simultaneous, nonlinear motion of both devices and providing a fast hardware trigger for real-time accurate insertion device and monochromator fly scanning. This presentation will detail the accuracy of motion and its effect on the produced spectra as well as the variation of flux when both insertion device and monochromator are in simultaneous motion.
