Synchrotron SOLEIL has elected MTCA as a platform standard baseline for its future or renewed systems. Indeed, multiple upgrades are foreseen as the facility will upgrade to SOLEIL II, a 4th generation synchrotron light source. In this presentation, we focus on two ongoing projects based on MTCA platforms: low level RF and fast orbit feedback, by presenting the technology choices,...
The superconducting stellarator W7-X underwent a major overhaul between 2018-2022 with the installation of an actively-cooled divertor and inner wall. The CoDaC System also received a significant overhaul and expansion. The protection of the new divertor required substantial enhancement of the Fast Interlock System, which necessitated a new hardware infrastructure and new implementation. The...
The primary goal of the Machine Protection System at the Spallation Neutron Source is to shutoff beam in under 20usec for any adverse condition that could affect or damage the beamline systems. The MPS at SNS is based on the original design that was completed in 2001 and has been obsolete for many years and requires an upgrade. The upgrade path for all new control systems in the Accelerator...
10 years have passed since the first LLRF systems based on the MicroTCA standard were installed at DESY. This contribution provides an overview on the different installations, their configurations, and how the modularity of MTCA systems was exploited to realize different LLRF architectures using similar blocks. Return on experience with these systems will be presented.
