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...
DMMC Stamp: DESY microTCA Technology LAB Launch the DMMC-Stamp. Embeck is responsible for domestic sales. We will first introduce you to this wonderful, small component. WIENER Power supply Low Noise 1000W PS for MTCA.4: we will introduce the features and performance.
Current status of application fields for open architecture standard products after VME / Compact-PCI and Introducing Vadatech's MTCA product lineup and FPGA-equipped high-speed AD / DA products.
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...
nVent SCHROFF has committed itself to support the Big Science community with a broad portfolio of MTCA.4 crates as well as a full range of adjacent accessories like AMC front panels, filler panels, air blockers and guide rails. This presentation shows the range of nVent SCHROFF crates from 1U, 3U, and development crates up to the various versions of 12 Slots crates with different options and...
The MicroTCA.4 standard has been employed at Sirius light source for a few accelerator systems: electron and photon BPM electronics, fast orbit feedback and timing receiver for distributed power supplies. In total 22 MicroTCA.4 crates run routinely at Sirius for users operation. This talk will describe the existing systems and short term plans. Special focus will be given to the issues found...
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...
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...
Teledyne SP Devices provides world-leading modular data acquisition systems. As a long-term partner of MicroTCA Technology Lab, it offers various solutions in µTCA.4 form. Apart from getting a brief overview of the existing portfolio of products, you will get a glimpse of future developments. New functions and implementations will be highlighted and discussed. For example, a new way to take...
To keep the MicroTCA standard viable over many years it must follow the development of technology. A PICMG working group was formed to incorporate faster Ethernet and PCIe communication into the standard. This talk will discuss the direction and challenges of the next generation MicroTCA standard.
