Description
When the GSI facility is expanded to eight ring and two linear
accelerators for the FAIR project, a new control system will be
deployed. In contrast to the existing system where coordination is
achieved by broadcasting a start event, the new system schedules actions
to be executed at a specified absolute timestamp, accurate to better
than a nanosecond. GSI will deploy more than 200 WR switches and 2000
WR-based front-end controllers to distribute absolute time to all
control systems in the facility.
