The SNS Project intends to integrate Conventional Facility Controls with its EPICS-based Accelerator and Target Control Systems. EPICS will therefore be used to provide distributed high-level access to all subsystems of the SNS conventional…
The Swiss Light Source (SLS) has in the order of 500 magnet power supplies (PS) installed, ranging from from 3 A/20 V four-quadrant PS to a 950 A/1000 V two-quadrant 3 Hz PS. All magnet PS have a local digital controller for a digital…
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a partnership between six laboratories. To ensure a truly integrated control system, many standards have been agreed upon, including the use of EPICS as the basic toolkit. However, unique within the…
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) timing and Real Time Data Link (RTDL) systems are being designed and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and other SNS collaborating labs [1]. The…
The SNS control system communication network will take advantage of new, commercially available network switch features to increase reliability and reduce cost. A standard structured cable system will be installed. The decreasing cost of…
External contractors are developing the local cooling and vacuum control systems for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac. Soon these systems will be integrated into the facility-wide controls system. Allen-Bradley Logix5000 series…
The SPring-8 control system provides data acquisition software called Poller/Collector for periodic data taking. Its polling scheme does not support taking data synchronized with an event, and simultaneity in the data from the different VME…
An extensible power supply control and monitoring system has been developed at Fermilab's Technical Division as a result of requirements to control and monior power supplies of various types from within many different applications. This…
The ongoing integration of fine-grained power management features already established in CPU-driven Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) enables both traditional Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and, more recently, hybrid Programmable SoCs (pSoCs)…
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is being designed for operation in 2004. The SNS is a 1 GeV machine consisting of a combination normal-conducting and super-conducting linac as well as a ring and target area. The linac front end is a…
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is being designed, constructed, installed and commissioned by the staff of six national laboratories, Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Jefferson National Accelerator…
In the National Spallation Neutron Source (NSNS) design, a 180 meter long transport line connects the 1 GeV linac to an accumulator ring. The linac beam has a current of 28 mA, pulse length of 1 ms, and 60 Hz rep rate. The high energy…
The SNS linac accelerates an average beam current of 2 mA to an energy of 968 MeV. The linac is pulsed at 60 Hz with an H- beam pulse of 1 ms. The first 185 Mev of the linac uses normal conducting cavities, and the remaining length of the…
In this paper, a multimode smart nonlinear circuit (MSNC) for wireless communications (Tx and Rx modes) as well as energy harvesting (EH) and power saving is presented. The proposed MSNC is designed at 680 MHz and has three ports, which are…
A set of power supplies (PS) with output power rated from 100 W up to 10 kW for electromagnets powering was developed. These PS have range of current tuning of 60-80 db with high accuracy (error should be less than 0,01%). Some types of…
1 ps timing resolution is the entry point to signature based searches relying on secondary/tertiary vertices and particle identification. We describe a preliminary design for PSEC5, an 8-channel 40 GS/s waveform-sampling ASIC in the TSMC 65…
SNS is a MATLAB-based software library written to aid in the design and analysis of receiver architectures. It uses electrical scattering matrices and noise wave vectors to describe receiver architectures of arbitrary topology and…
In this paper, we infer remote measurements such as remote voltages and currents online with change in AC power flows using spiking neural network (SNN) as grid-edge technology for efficient coordination of power electronic converters. This…
The Advanced Photon Source is now in its fifth year of routine beam production. The EPICS-based [1] control system has entered the phase in its life cycle where new control algorithms must be implemented under increasingly stringent…
Building an accelerator at six geographically dispersed sites is quite mad, but politically expedient. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), currently under construction in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, combines a pulsed 1 Gev H- superconducting…
