Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
The PH-ESE group at CERN provides support for the electronic systems of the experiments. As part of this mandate a project was launched to evaluate μTCA infrastructure components, in particular shelves, power supplies and MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) modules. Commercial equipment from different vendors has been acquired, evaluated and interoperability tests have been performed. In addition some...

Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
Currently, GSI Beam Instrumentation Department accomplishes the detailed specifications for all FAIR beam instrumentation data acquisition (DAQ) systems. With respect to the large number and variety of diagnostic systems, a choice of three different form factors for the DAQ systems was made. Beneath PICMG 1.3 Industry-PC solutions and the well-established VMEBUS standard, the MTCA form factor...

Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
The operation of the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) tokamak imposes significant demands on the instrumentation and control (I&C) section of its 160 plant systems which are representative for many large scale physics applications. The plant I&C systems must support the operational needs for machine protection, plasma operation and physics exploitation. The most...

Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
The European Spallation Source is a green field facility that will start the construction phase in 2013. The absence of any legacy systems opens the possibity to share hardware between different systems. The talk will present the strategy to make the most out of this opportunity.

Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
Micro-TCA boards have been developed for cERL in KEK. One is the AD/DA board having 16bit 4ch ADCs and 4ch DACs. This has been used for the digital feedback of superconducting cavities at STF and will be used at cERL. The other is fast ADC board having high speed (~300 MHz) ADCs for the direct sampling (without downconverters). These boards will be also used for superKEKB LLRF system and beam...

Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
The European X-Ray Free Electron Laser, currently under construction in northern Germany, will provide up to 2700 less than 100fs short x-ray pulses with wavelengths between 0.05 and 6 nm at a repetition rate of 4.5MHz at several beamlines. It allows in-depth research in various scientific fields.
In order to set-up the beam, position the sample and capture the
measured variables,...

Session 2: Use of MTCA in Large Scale Facilities
A team at SLAC has successfully launched the first MicroTCA developments for the new 4th generation light source at SLAC, the Linac Coherent Light Source LCLS-II. This is the second of three machines ultimately to be built, each using one third of the 3km linac.
Both Low Level RF (LLRF) and Beam Position Monitoring (BPMs) pose special problems: The LLRF must obtain short term phase stability...
