  7. Fast Orbit Feedback • Digital Front End • redundant ring communication working at 2.5 Gbps • embedded event receiver with <5 psecs jitter and 8 nsecs of resolution. • Second spin will upgrade the FPGA from a Virtex 5 to a Virtex 6 – February time frame • Digital Front End (DFE) Used as Beam Position Monitor (BPM) Front End • raw analog at 116.9 MHz to Memory for up to 1 Gbytes • turn by turn data at 378KHz to Memory for up to 32 MB (2.5 seconds) • transfer of large arrays at under 2 minutes for under 32 MB over Modbus over Ethernet • transfer of large arrays at under 16 seconds for 32 MB over Ethernet • 10 Hz BPM data to Memory; • has several hundred DSP slices for digital filtering • Virtex 5 has >90% Memory registers in use – Virtex 6 will give us 5x more. • Digital Front End Used as Cell Controller • calculates fast orbit feedback algorithm for local in 4 microseconds • matrices for up to 90 eigenvectors; • I/O board can be used for fast machine protection • 16 digital input, 12 digital outputs and 4 analog outputs for fast machine protection; • four 100 Mbps copper ports for redundant comm links to the fast and slow power supplies. • Power Supply Controller (PSC) is ready for production • provides redundant 100 Mbps network to all power supplies within one cell. • provides Memory access by Modbus protocol over 100 Mbps Ethernet • dedicated fiber from each Power Supply Control to each Power Supply Interface. • Power Supply Interfaces (PSI) is ready for production • demonstrated < 5 ppm long term stability • takes 10 KHz data for up to 10 seconds for diagnostics • 20 bit DAC (1 ppm resolution), 16 bit ADCs for DCCT

  8. High Level Applications (HLA) • High level applications requirements are identified and being refined • High level application architecture is client/server • based on the EPICS version 4 network protocol, PVAccess • One server provides results to all clients • New data types have been defined for multichannel arrays, multidimensional arrays, images, statistical samples, tables (arbitrary collections). • These are being implemented in PVAccess • Servers are completed that provide: • Model Results • List of process variables based on function and attributes • Synchronous vector of data given a list of process variables. • Other Services are under development. • Developer document for thin clients is being written in conjunction with the physics group. • Standard clients in CSS can be used to display HLA data

  10. IRMIS • Production tools available for • Component type editor • Component editor • Component Browser • Wiring Editor • Control group members have started to enter component types • Subsystem engineering groups have started to enter component data • Subsystem engineering groups have done initial testing of the wiring editor • Rapid prototyping tools are in place to support developing applications • Lattice • Electronic log • Save Compare Restore (SCORE) • Magnet Measurements • Component Inventory and History • Physics group and mechanical group are working with us on these • IRMIS Crawler, which was developed at Argonne, looks at EPICS configuration files and provides data management. • We have no deployed databases or clients so this is not yet in use.

  11. PERL crawler Rapid Prototype • Rapid Prototype Environment: • lattice • cmpnt inventory • cmpnt history • magnet measurements • traveler • elog • pv_meta • service config (alh, ar, score) • logscore • cmpnt channels • PERL: • epics config software • CA clients • history • Data Services Layer: • component types • cmpnt config (installation) • cables, tray partitions DSL

  14. EPICS Extensions • EPICS core extensions • Client specified filtering for rate limiting, dead bands, and sub arrays. • State record primitive to provide modular solution to motion and multistate devices such as valves that need to capture transition times and timeouts. • New modular interface to event generator and event receiver • C++ Implementation of PVAccess servers to serve V3 databases • Control System Studio – User Interface Tools • Adopted CSS for our user interface after evaluation • Redeveloped build environment and had it adopted by the collaboration • Developed a name server to return process variables by function • Developed a channel access package to provide all client functions and time synchronous vectors from an arrays of process variables. • Developed multichannel visualization tools

  23. Subsystem Standards (1 of 2) • Application Development Environment – Established in Mercurial • Naming Convention • established early by project management • distributed responsibility • Component types and installed components to be documented through IRMIS • Equipment standards (developed with each group): • Timing – established Micro Research Finland as standard • Diagnostics – standard for each class of problem • Vacuum – standard interfaces for serial devices being determined. • Equipment Protection System –Allen-Bradley and Siemens standard for PLCs established and in use for all project PLCs, We integrate PLC data into EPICS • Personnel Protection System – Siemens and Allen-Bradley Safety PLC selected. We implement B chain. • RF – controllers are under development. Not yet integrated. • Turnkey contracts include statements to use the standards as defined in each subsystem by NSLS II.

  24. Subsystem Standards (2 of 2) VME Crates – two vendors that we are evaluating: Elma and Weiner cPCI Crates – under evaluation Soft IOCs – Linux servers – same as used for control room applications. Processors – Motorola and Intel processors being evaluated PLCs – Allen Bradley chosen as standard – putting together standard component list External vendors have Siemens as an option. Timing – Micro Research Finland latest series chosen Camera – Proscilica with GigE interface chosen Fill Pattern – Acqiris chosen. DCCT has GE digitizer under evaluation. Cell controller – First spin operational – Ready for spin 2 – moving to Virtex 6 BPMs – First spin operational – Ready for spin 2 - Libera still a backup plan. Power supplies – in house development I chosen – ready for production. Racks are specified by electronics group Switches – Brocade and Juniper under evaluation Core Switches – Brocade chosen – purchase order out. Motion control – Delta Tau and Galil under consideration. Delta Tau meets all requirements.

  25. Conclusions • The cell controller, power supply controller, and beam position monitor digital hardware is all running • A second spin for the DFE will be completed in February • The PSC and PSI are ready for production. • The Cell controller can support 100 microsecond machine protection if needed • The High Level Physics Application architecture is in place and being used as each service and application is prototyped. • The IRMIS tools are well supported by the developers and have gained acceptance outside of the control group. • Management support is strong to assure success. • An active collaboration is started with FRIB. • Our preliminary designs are complete and final designs are started for all subsystems except beam line controls. • We are ahead of schedule in prototyping all subsystems in order to provide timely decisions on hardware and software standards. • The control team has established critical mass and has very strong momentum.
