  1. LLRF • Outline • System Concept Review • Requirements • Personnel • Engineering requirements • Interfaces • Alternatives • Test plan • Preliminary Design Review • Block diagram • Quality control and reliability • Safety hazards

  2. Requirements • At 120 Hz, meet phase/amp noise levels defined as: • 0.1% rms amplitude • 100 fs rms in S-band (fill time = 850 ns) • 125 fs rms in X-band (fill time = 100 ns) • All tolerances are rms levels and the voltage and phase tolerances per klystron for L2 and L3 are Nk larger, assuming uncorrelated errors, where Nk is the number of klystrons per linac (L2 has 28; L3 has 48)

  3. Personnel • Customers = Patrick Krejcik + Paul Emma need LLRF control system thru L1S by Dec 06 • Hardware = Ron Akre, Jeff Olsen, Michael Cecere • Software = Dayle Kotturi, Arturo Alarcon

  4. Engineering Requirements • When beam is present, control will be done by beam-based longitudinal feedback (except for T-cavs); when beam is absent, control will be done by local phase and amplitude controller (PAC) • Adhere to LCLS Controls Group standards: RTEMS, EPICS, Channel Access protocol • Ref: Why RTEMS? Study of open source real-time OS • Begin RF processing of high-powered structures May 20, 2006

  5. Interfaces • LLRF to LCLS global control system • PVs available for edm screens, archiving, etc over controls network • LLRF VME to beam-based longitudinal feedback • from feedback: phase and amplitude corrections at 120 Hz over private ethernet • from LLRF: phase and amplitude values • (internal) LLRF VME to LLRF microcontrollers • from VME: triggers, corrected phase and amplitude • from microcontrollers: phase and amplitude averaged values at 120 Hz, raw phase and amplitude values for debug

  6. Alternatives • Through end of January 2005, various solutions were evaluated, from 100% COTS modules to hybrids of in-house designed boards. • By May 2005, the options were narrowed down to two: an Off-the-shelf solution and an in-house solution. • By August 2005, the in-house solution was selected

  7. Test Plan • Will be described for the 5 categories of hardware • Low level RF chassis (in-house) • Monitor chassis (in-house with COTS timing) • Fast control chassis (in-house with COTS timing) • Slow control chassis (in-house) • Feedback control chassis (COTS products)

  8. Test Plan for Low level RF chassis(in-house) • What for? Low level RF distribution where EPICS is not required • Where? LINAC Sector 0, the RF hut and klystron stations • Status now: 119, 476, 2856, 2830.5 MHz – 16 way distributions complete. 476 MHz master amplifier complete • Steps to complete: • by Nov2005: PEP-II master phase shifter install and test • by Dec2005: IQPAU installation and test • by Jan2006: LO chassis installation and test

  9. RF Distribution

  10. Test plan for monitor chassis – “PAD”(in-house with COTS timing) • What for? Local RF phase/amplitude detection/monitoring • Where? Laser, gun, L0-A, L0-B, L1-S • Status now: Evaluating ADCs • Steps to complete: • by Dec2005: evaluation of ADCs (1chan) • by Mar2006: board prototype (2 or 4 chan, thermo) • by May2006: final board. Test (incl temp. cycling) • by Sep2006: chassis (15 dual channel) avail. Test. • by Oct2006: injector installation and test

  12. Test plan for fast control chassis(in-house with COTS timing) • What for? Local RF phase/amplitude control • Where? Laser, gun, L0-A, L0-B, L1-S • Status now: board design • Steps to complete: • by Jan2006: board prototype • by Mar2006: final board • by Sep2006: chassis (6 single channel) • by end of 2006 downtime: injector install/test

  13. PAC – the control board

  14. Test plan for slow control chassis (in-house) • What for? Phase and amplitude control of the reference • Where? Sector 20 RF hut • Status now: not started • Steps to complete: • between now and Feb 2006: determine if fast control module does the job. If yes, this is done. Otherwise: • by Feb2006: start design • by Mar2006: board prototype • by May2006: final board • by Sep2006: chassis (6 single channel) • by Nov2006: injector installation and test

  15. RF crate • What for? Local feedback control and timing for RF systems • Where? Sector 20 RF hut • Status now: testing EVR • Steps to complete: • evaluate number of signals and processor load to determine number of crates • design and write software • test with simulation and later hardware • during 2006 downtime: installation and test

  16. Feedback control crate (COTS products) • What for? beam-based longitudinal feedback • Where? At sector 20, in RF hut • Status now: software design • Steps to complete: • purchase network switch module if IOC has insufficient ports • by Dec2006: software • by Dec2006: installation and test

  21. Quality control and reliability • Buy components from reliable vendors • Test each component and circuit board • Components will be tested in an incubator cycled from room temperature through 45 degC

  22. Safety hazards • RF 1kW at 120Hz at 5uS = 0.6 Watts average, 2 Watt average amps at 2856MHz, 60W average amps at 476MHz • Hazards – RF Burns • Mitigation – Avoid contact with center conductor of energized connectors • 110V AC Connector • Require “Electrical Safety 251” completion for plugging/unplugging • Hazards - Shock • Mitigation - Don’t touch conductors when plugging into outlet. • The LLRF system is less hazardous than a cell phone and equally hazardous as plugging in a 110V AC cord at home
