The Beam Position Monitoring System at GSI heavy ion synchrotrons consists of twelve stations. Each of the four BPM plates is connected to a Libera Hadron unit from I-Tech Company for digitization and position calculation. The raw data of one BPM sampled by 125 MS/s with 14 Bit ADCs are reduced to about 20 MB/s by the onboard FPGA, resulting in a bunch-by-bunch position readout. In addition, different timing signals with various requirements are used to verify the functionality of the FPGA algorithms. For a closed orbit measurement, the data of all twelve Liberas have to be read in parallel. For communication, the Xilinx Rocket IOs is used, that allows up to 1GBit/s data output. Over a dedicated network, the data are merged for further usage on a high performance PC. We describe the general architecture and present first performance tests.

The planned Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI in Darmstadt is a very challenging task due to its dimension and complexity. Several new heavy ion accelerators have to be built and then operated in parallel and multiplexed modes. In order to cope with these unique requirements numerous collaboration partners are involved to add so-called ”in-kind contributions” to the project. Detailed guidelines and interface specifications have to be defined in advance to avoid an indefinite pool of different technologies which have to be handled by the future control system. For that purpose, GSI decided to use the Front-end Software Architecture (FESA) at the lowest level of the control system. FESA was developed by CERN and is already established for usage at LHC and its injectors. It is a framework to integrate any kind of equipment such as beam instrumentation devices, magnet power supplies, vacuum- and cryogenic components into the control system. A framework overview, its advantages, and boundary conditions provided by FESA are described.
