    At KEK-Tsukuba Site, Micro-TCA(MTCA.0)-based FPGA boards were developed for LLRF control systems in 2009. EPICS-IOC is embedded into them. Our MTCA-based systems were applied to accelerators at KEK ahead of other facilities in the world, and they are successfully working in the beam operation. In this talk, some reminiscences of our struggles with the development of original FPGA boards will...

    We developed a timing synchronization system for injection from the linac of the XFEL machine, SACLA, to the storage ring (SR) of SPring-8. This injection scheme is demanded by the low-emittance upgraded ring in the future. Since the RF frequencies of the linac and the SR do not have an integer multiples relation, we have to introduce a new scheme to synchronize the beam ejection timing of the...

    MTCA.4 based LLRF control systems have been developed for synchrotrons of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The J-PARC synchrotrons consist of the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and the Main Ring synchrotron(MR). Since the magnetic alloy loaded untuned RF cavity systems are used in both synchrotrons, multi-harmonic amplitude and phase control is essential and...

    In the past, bus systems such as VME have been used for accelerator control and other systems that require stability, high reliability, and environmental resistance. For several decades, we have been designing and manufacturing VME bus boards and supplying systems. However, it has been more than 30 years since the birth of the VME standard, and the communication speed of the bus is...

    A new LLRF control system for the synchrotron at WERC is in under development. The current system consisted of DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer), DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and analog RF circuits has been working for 20 years with making a continuous improvement in it. However the current system becomes deteriorated and can not be maintained. The new system utilizes modern FPGAs...

    Certain scenarios in industry and scientific research require to synchronize different EtherCAT networks with a high accuracy. The more precise the time stamp requirements become, the more difficult this task gets using classical solutions. By means of a newly developed AMC module, the time signals can be synchronously fed into and read from up to 8+1 independent EtherCAT networks. This...

    One of today’s setback in MicroTCA is the limited availability of (latest) x86 CPU generations in AMC formfactor. To overcome this situation and to provide more flexibility to the market N.A.T has developed a new carrier for COMex modules in AMC format which allows customers to select processing power based on exact needs, i.e. payload or control, from a small 2-core Celeron up to powerful 6...

    The Module Management Controller (MMC) is a mandatory component of every AMC board. DESY is developing, maintaining and licensing a turn-key MMC solution that is used on several hundred boards in different facilities - on DESY's own products as well as on third-party AMC boards developed by industrial customers and project partners. With the growing number of different boards, a clear...

    The DRTM-LOG1300 (uLOG) is a MicroTCA.4 compliant LO and CLK generation module. It has been operating on EuXFEL for several years now. Currently other experiments expressed their interest for the LO and CLK generation modules operating at different reference frequencies. However not all the required LO and CLK frequencies can be generated using the currently implemented architecture. In...

    MTCA is expected to be the next-generation platform for accelerator controls and many applications of MTCA are found in the acclerators in the world, while it seems slow to spread to the Japanese accelerator facilities. To investigate the reason, a small survey was performed in 2020 among KEK and J-PARC members, who are working for LLRF, monitors, and control systems. The survey results and...

    A new linear accelerator was constructed for the New SUBARU (NS), a 1.5 GeV synchrotron radiation facility. The accelerating frequencies used at the new linac are 238 MHz, 476 MHz, 2856 MHz (SB), and 5712 MHz (CB). The required accuracy for the amplitude and phase of the accelerating field are 8E-4 and 0.2 degree, respectively in the most severe case. Also, the master trigger of the linac must...

    In the J-PARC linac, the low-level radio frequency (LLRF) system with the digital feedback (DFB) and the digital feedforward (DFF) based on the cPCI platform was adopted for the satisfaction of amplitude and phase stabilities. It was operated without serious problems. However, it has been used since the beginning of the J-PARC and are more than fifteen years into the development. The increase...

    In the International Linear Collider (ILC), the RF power generated with a single RF source (10 MW multi-beam klystron) is supplied to 39 superconducting cavities, and the amplitude and phase of each cavity are operated by vector sum-feedback control to keep the accelerating electric field and phase constant in single RF unit. At the Superconducting Test Facility (STF) of the High Energy...

    We plan to replace the low-level RF (LLRF) system at the KEK-PF. The present LLRF system is composed of analog modules, while the new system will be composed of digital boards which are based on the μTCA.4 standards. On the other hand, we will also adopt the μTCA to the monitor system for the transient beam loading effect. In this presentation, we introduce the present RF system, the overview...

    The J-PARC linac beam pulse, formed by a chopper system placed at the MEBT, consists of a series of intermediate pulses with a comb-like structure synchronized with the rf frequency of the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). With a general-purpose digitizer, performing signal processing depending on the presence or absence of such an intermediate pulse is challenging. Besides, monitoring the...

    The RF system currently used at the vertical test stand at the Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) at KEK was established more than two decades ago and is all analog. It was decided to upgrade the controller part with a state-of-the-art MicroTCA.4-based LLRF system, allowing self-excited loop (SEL) operation. The realization of this upgrade is planned to be performed in collaboration with DESY.
