Description
The Booster - Nuclotron transfer line operates in pulsed mode. The duration of the current pulse in the channel elements varies between two microseconds for extraction kicker, tens and hundreds of microseconds for septums, and up to tens of milliseconds in dipole magnets and correctors. All elements pulsed power supplies come with embedded controllers of two different types, each of which supports the Modbus/TCP protocol. Except for correctors, all magnets include built-in induction coil sensors that track the stability of the magnetic field, and the control system is outfitted with the necessary hardware, such as precision integrators and high-speed digital oscilloscope VME cards. The transfer line is equipped with its own synchronization system that receives three signals (two pre-starts and start of beam transfer) from the facility control system and generates all necessary individual triggers for all pulse power supplies and diagnostic equipment. The PLC cluster collects a set of signals to control beam diagnostic elements. The software to control transfer line equipment is based on the TANGO platform and contains a set of Device Servers and engineering applications. The paper briefly considers the mentioned hardware and software solutions.
