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.
