| MOPAN112 | Digital Control Interface for Bipolar Corrector Power Supplies for LCLS | 428 |

| We detail the development, testing and commissioning of a single-board digital interface for modular bipolar corrector magnet power supplies to installed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). The sixteen-channel VME-form-factor board replaces the passive the control-interface board in the MCOR (Magnet Corrector) Chassis. The board is a self-contained system with both serial and Ethernet connectivity intended for use with an EPICS accelerator control system IOC, however, the ASCII protocol allows generic computer control. The interface card contains 16 independent ADC and DAC channels, each with 16 bits of resolution. Additionally, the interlock, fault, reset and digital control lines are remotely controllable via either the serial or Ethernet connections. The design has been planned so that a mini-IOC can be included on board for direct Channel Access connectivity. | ||

Funding: BiRa Systems, Albuquerque, New Mexico High voltage power modules find uses in many applications like the Photo multiplier Tubes (PMT), Ionization chambers, CRT systems testing, high voltage biasing for Avalanche Photodiodes, Photo detectors, X-ray tubes, Pulse generators which are used in radars, lasers, EMC testing and other imaging applications. Providing high voltage, to these applications, which can be remotely controlled in a small, confined area, is a problem many laboratories around the world face. The LV and the HV series of high voltage systems from BiRa Systems present experimenters with voltages ranging from several hundreds upto ± 5kV in a rugged CompactPCI / PXI chassis, running National Instruments' LabView. The CompactPCI architecture offers modularity, tight integration and low cost. Apart from that, the deterministic and real time nature of the operating system also allows these modules to be remotely controlled and monitored over the Ethernet. The high voltage cards can be easily custom tailored to a particular voltage and current requirement |
