Application in research facilities and industry
The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) consists of the 400 MeV linac,
the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), and the 30 GeV Main Ring (MR).
Its commissioning started in 2006. At present, high intensity proton beams are delivered to the experiment facilities.
The accelerator facilities use the LLRF control systems and the beam monitor modules based on VME and...

Application in research facilities and industry
SLAC’s LCLS-II is a next generation X-ray FEL that will use a CW 4 GeV superconducting linac with nominal bunch spacing of 1us will deliver both soft and hard x-ray FEL to users. In order to achieve the required performance, the SLAC Technical Innovation Directorate has developed a common hardware and firmware platform for beam instrumentation based on the ATCA crate format. We have designed;...

Application in research facilities and industry
This contribution summarizes the low-level radio frequency (LLRF) commissioning of the European X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) accelerator, with a special emphasis on the effort placed into developing automation tools necessary for such a large scale accelerator. In particular, the strategy for automatic firmware and software deployment for the MicroTCA LLRF systems will be presented....

Application in research facilities and industry
The superconducting linear accelerator ELBE at Helmholtz-Center Dresden-Rossendorf is a versatile light source operated in continuous wave mode. Currently there is a transition from an analogue low level radio frequency control (LLRF) to a digital MicroTCA.4 based solution developed at DESY, Hamburg.
Control system integration is realized collaboratively by DESY, Technische Universität...

Application in research facilities and industry
At DESY many different pulsed laser systems have to be precisely synchronized to an external reference which is an RF signal and usually also a pulsed laser signal e.g. from an optical fiber link. These kind of phase-locked loop setups are implemented on MicroTCA hardware. The feedback is realized in an FPGA on the AMC side. The actuators are driven by dedicated RTM or FMC boards like piezo...

Application in research facilities and industry
The LLRF control system for the European Spallation Source (ESS) is based on a MTCA.4 standard using COTS and and in-house developed components to control accelerating cavities. Custom designed MTCA.4 components of the ESS LLRF System are developed by PEG - Polish Electronic Group, consortium of three scientific units from Poland, National Center of Nuclear Research (NCBJ), Warsaw University...
