Fel Injector Control System on the Base of Epics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The control system of the 1.5 MeV FEL injector is built on the base of ported EPICS. It uses low-cost hardware: personal computers with the processor Intel x86 and CAMAC equipment produced by our institute. At present time, the distributed control system includes one Pentium at OPerator Interface (OPI) level and two IOC (Input Output Controllers) under supervision of the real time operating system LynxOS/x86 at the low-level. Each IOC is used for monitoring of autonomous parts of the injector. The first IOC operates the Radio Frequency (RF) system. The second IOC operates the injector equipment.

متن کاملControl System Design and Upgrade Considerations for the Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory
The Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory currently operates two FELs: the OK-4/Duke Storage Ring FEL, and the Mark III IR FEL. Both of these systems were among the early adopters of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). The Mark III EPICS control system was completed and operational in September, 1993. The Duke Storage Ring was commissioned in November of 1994 using EPI...
متن کاملInjector System for Linac-based Infrared Free-electron Laser in Thailand
A possibility to develop a compact linac-based Infrared free-electron laser (IR FEL) facility has been studied at Chiang Mai University (CMU) in Thailand. Characteristics of the emitted FEL light and reliability in operation of the FEL system are determined by the properties of the electron injector, the undulator, and the optical cavity. The proposed injector system for the future IR FEL is ba...
متن کاملUpgrade of the Sdl Control System
The Source Development Lab (SDL) at BNL consists of a 230 MeV electron linac and a 10 m long wiggler for short wavelength Free Electronic Laser (FEL) development. The original control system [1] was based on the one in use at the National Synchrotron Light Source. In 2000 the control system was upgraded to be based on EPICS to facilitate software interfaces for extensions at all levels. The FEL...
متن کاملAn Emittance Measurement System for a Wide Range of Bunch Charges
As a part of the emittance measurements planned for the FEL injector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab), we have developed an emittance measurement system that covers the wide dynamic range of bunch charges necessary to fully characterize the high-DC-voltage photocathode gun. The measurements are carried out with a variant of the classical two-slit method usin...
