Plc Based Upgrades for the Camd Linac and Storage Ring Control System
نویسنده
چکیده
Louisiana State University Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) began a control system upgrade project in early 1997. At the time, the storage ring was controlled by a VAX/VMS system, primarily using CAMAC for I/O. The injector Linac was controlled by a separate VME/OS/9 system using custom I/O components. The storage ring control system has been replaced with a PC/Linux based system, utilizing the existing CAMAC subsystem [1]. In an effort both to migrate channels away from CAMAC and integrate the Linac controls with the storage ring controls, a design for upgrades utilizing AutomationDirect.com PLCs was presented [2]. This paper will discuss the detailed design for the Linac PLC based control system, and discuss the status of PLC upgrades for the Vacuum system, Kicker controls, 2nd RF system, and utilities monitoring.

The Gnu Control System at Camd: Part Two
Louisiana State University Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) began a project to upgrade the storage ring and linac control systems in February 1997. At that time, control systems for the storage ring and linac were DEC VAX/VMS and VME/OS9 based systems, respectively. The objectives were to utilize inexpensive hardware, free software, and provide a flexible architecture wher...
متن کاملPlc-based Beam Charge Interlock System for Radiation Safety in the Kekb Injector Linac
A new PLC-based beam charge interlock system is under development for radiation safety and machine protection in the KEKB injector linac. This system restricts integrated amounts of beam charges passing through several locations along the linac before they are injected into four different storage rings (KEKB ee storage rings, PF, PF-AR). The beam charges are measured using wall current monitors...

ABSTRACTBackground: Design of the production system for Iodine-123 has begun recently in nuclear research centre of agricultural and medicine (NRCAM). The production system consists of pipes for xenon gas transfer, equipped with 10 valves, 3 heaters, fluid nitrogen and 2 vacuum pumps. In the first prototype the function of elements was being done manually by an operator. Because dispensing rad...
متن کاملNonintercepting Imaging Diagnostics for the APS Injector during Storage Ring Top-Up Operations
The recently implemented top-up operating mode of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring has motivated an emphasis on nonintercepting imaging diagnostics in the injectors. We present the upgrades to the optical synchrotron radiation (OSR) monitors on the accumulator ring and injector synchrotron as well as the plans for a new OSR monitor on a chicane dipole in the linac and for an optica...
