30. Status of the new MTCA.4 motion controller and it's application in photon science

Martin Tolkiehn (FS-PETRA-D (FS-PET-D Fachgruppe P24 (Chem.Cryst.)))

11/12/2024, 16:00

I will present the status of the new MTCA.4 based motion controller that is being developed at DESY and present it's first application in a user beamtime at beamline P24 at PETRA III. Furthermore I will show other potential applications of MTCA.4 in photon science, which will be relevant for the PETRA IV upgrade.

20. Status Update on the Open-Source Synchronous Multi-Axis Motion Controller Solution for Large-Scale Experimental Physics Projects

Michael Randall (MSK (Strahlkontrollen))

Synchronous multi-axis motion control systems integrated with diagnostic and data acquisition subsystems are critical components in large experimental physics projects. To meet these specific requirements, DESY has developed an open-source motion control solution based on the DAMC-MOTCTRL board. Designed for projects like PETRA IV, this system enables synchronized control of up to 48 stepper...

28. The use of DAMC-UNIZUP board for the MTCA.4 BPM system for PETRA IV

Aleš Bardorfer (Instrumentation Technologies)

11/12/2024, 16:30

In the last three years, Instrumentation Technologies (I-Tech) and DESY have developed a MTCA.4 BPM electronics prototype for the PETRA IV TDR phase. The prototype consists of the BPM-optimized signal conditioning and digitizing RTM module from I-Tech, and the cost optimized DAMC-UNIZUP AMC processing board from DESY MSK. The prototype was delivered at the end of 2022 and confirmed with beam...

21. Status Update on MicroTCA based Fast Orbit Feedback System for PETRA IV

Sven Pfeiffer (DESY)

11/12/2024, 16:45

PETRA IV is the upcoming fourth generation 6 GeV low-emittance light source at DESY Hamburg. The Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) system for PETRA IV will be a large multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control system in an extended star topology. The layout is optimized to reduce the latency between the 790 beam position monitors (BPM) and the 560 fast corrector magnets. The FOFB system is mainly based...

7. Development of a new AMC card for the Diamond-II EBPM Upgrade

Michael Abbott (Diamond Light Source Ltd)

11/12/2024, 17:00

For the Diamond-II upgrade the entire Electron Beam Position Monitor system will be upgraded with 10-times the bandwidth. This will be implemented on AMC cards with 250 Ms/s ADCs and substantial signal processing. Finding a suitable AMC card was unexpectedly challenging and we have worked closely with IOxOS on the development of the new IFC_1412 AMC carrier card. This presentation will...

34. µTCA based 1kHz camera readout for beam stabilization for KALDERA at DESY

Mr Carsten Dülsen (MLS (Laser fuer Plasmabeschleunigung))

11/12/2024, 17:15

KALDERA is a new laser plasma accelerator (LPA) built at DESY whose key element is a kHz repetition rate. This repetition rate will enable feedback control to achieve a higher level of stability and reliability than existing LPAs operating at a repetition rate of a few hertz. But the higher repetition rate also puts new requirements for the online diagnostics, which is the prerequisite for the...
