Upgrade of Linac Control System with New Vme Controllers at Spring-8
نویسندگان
چکیده
We integrated an injector linac control system to the SPring-8 standard system in September 2000. As a result of this integration, the SPring-8 accelerator complex was controlled by one unified system. Because the linac was continuously running as the electron beam injector not only for the SPring-8 storage ring but also for NewSUBARU, we had to minimize the hardware modification to reduce the time for the development and testing of the new control system. The integration method was almost the same as that of the integration of the booster synchrotron. We report here on the integration of the linac control system with emphasis on the upgrade of the VMEbus controllers and software involving the operating system Solaris 7 as the real-time OS.

Introduction of Modern Subsystems at the Kek Injector-linac
As an accelerator control system survives over several years, it is often the case that new subsystems are introduced into the original control system. The control system for the KEK electron/positron injector-linac has been using Unix workstations and VME computers since 1993. During the eight-year operation, we extended the system by introducing a) Windows PCs, b) PLC controllers with a netwo...

External contractors are developing the local cooling and vacuum control systems for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac. Soon these systems will be integrated into the facility-wide controls system. Allen-Bradley Logix5000 series programmable controllers, populated with appropriate input/output modules, were selected as the local controllers. These controllers will be interfaced to the f...
متن کاملData Acquisition System with Shared Memory Network
The SPring-8 control system provides data acquisition software called Poller/Collector for periodic data taking. Its polling scheme does not support taking data synchronized with an event, and simultaneity in the data from the different VME systems is not guaranteed. Recently, requirement for fast and event-driven data acquisition has increased, and the synchronization of a set of data from the...
متن کاملPlc Based Upgrades for the Camd Linac and Storage Ring Control System
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...

M. Liepe , S. Belomestnykh, J. Dobbins, R. Kaplan, C. Strohman, LEPP, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract Recent progress in developing digital low-level RF controls for accelerators has made digital systems an option of choice. At Cornell we are presently working on two projects: upgrading the RF controls of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) for charm-tau operation (CESR-...
