The beam will go through two main accelerating stages (RFQ and SRF Linac), plus two bunching cavities as part of the MEBT. These require continuous wave RF power at 175 MHz for the 18 RF power sources feeding the eight RFQ couplers (200kW), the two buncher cavities (16kW) and the eight superconducting half wave resonators of the SRF Linac (105kW). The functionality of the LLRF has been complemented with python based automatic rearming tool to resume RF power automatically in case of safe interlocks in order to optimise the RFQ conditioning process. The rearming tool is communicating with EPICS using pyEPICS module, and it is running on central control system (CCS) and is interfacing the RF power system (RFPS) through EPICS.
