Application in research facilities and industry
New GigEVision AMC´s are serving line cameras on MTCA standard with scalable capacity. This makes it possible for the first time to record almost all inspection points in a production plant with one system. The presentation will show, how useful such system can be for inline quality assurance facilities in fully automatic production plants

Application in research facilities and industry
This presentation shows some solutions and ideas, how to speed up the development with FPGAs and FMCs (FPGA Mezzanine Card) in MicroTCA systems.
Questions answered:
How to debug multiple FPGAs in a MicroTCA.4 crate remotely at the same time by using only an Ethernet Cable?
How to detect the FMC version and functions and how to load the right FPGA image at boot-up or hot-plug?
How...

Application in research facilities and industry
The MRF timing system has been around since 1999 on various form factors starting with VME. A timing receiver (Event Receiver) has been available in the MicroTCA.4 form factor for a couple of years.
This presentation gives a short introduction to the MRF timing system and shows some details of an Event Master currently in development for the MicroTCA.4 platform. With this new product a...

Application in research facilities and industry
MicroTCA is a sophisticated Technology with high processing power and many features but also challenges such as high heat generation. With older technologies a small amount air movement inside the crate was sufficient to keep electronics cool. With today’s high performance and high density electronics a stronger, dedicated cooling strategy for the crate and cabinet level is required to keep...

Application in research facilities and industry
The successful implementation of MicroTCA-based systems for beam control and beam diagnostics at FLASH and the European XFEL has sparked new interest in the latest developments of the standard in the accelerator community and beyond. In order to respond to these requests, DESY has established the “MicroTCA Technology Lab (A Helmholtz Innovation Lab)” as a service unit for research and industry...
