Changes to beamline optics may effect many engineering processes downstream. In the past, we incorporated these changes manually into disparate engineering spreadsheets. At LCLS, database applications have been developed in order to compare and clearly display differences amongst various versions of beamline optics files. These applications also incorporate the changes into engineering databases, after they have been validated by the engineers. This allows the engineers to be notified, and modifications to be made if beamline optics changes require corresponding adjustments of engineering elements. This paper will describe how this streamlines the workflow, and also provides greater reliability in how beamline optics changes are integrated into engineering databases (such as cabling, power supplies, inventory). The paper includes a description of the related LCLS inventory system, which also serves as a repository for quality assurance documents. The underlying database schemas and applications will be outlined.

The LCLS injector at SLAC requires 100+ dc-magnet power supply systems for its operation. Power supplies are divided into two main groups: intermediate rack-mounted type for output powers up to 20 kW at 375 A, and bipolar units rated 6 A, 12 A, and 30 A for corrector magnets and small quadrupoles. The intermediate power supplies are controlled by a 20-bit Ethernet power supply controller, specially developed at SLAC to be used in this project. The bipolar units are controlled via 12-bit DACs and ADCs housed in a VME crate. EPICS is the controls interface to all systems. For all systems, stability requirements are better than 1000 ppm. The Power Conversion Department at SLAC, in close cooperation with the LCLS Controls group, was responsible for defining the major characteristics of the power supply systems, their specification, procurement, installation, and commissioning. In this paper we describe the main characteristics of the power supply systems for the LCLS injector, including results from their successful commissioning early this year.
