New power supply control interface and energy ramping design in SRRC

Abstract

For the purpose of lattice optimization, eighteen individual quadrupole power supplies was installed in the SRRC storage ring in March 1997 to replace the three quadrupole family power supplies. In order to accomodate newly installed and already existed power supplies, the control interface of Taiwan Light Source (TLS) has been rejuvenated recently. The new control interface has improved drastically on control speed in comparison with the existed interface. Operation of the power supply system from device level to system level is reorganized to make control and access easier. This new control interface provides capability from complex operation such as lattice file loading, magnet degaussing, to file energy ramping scheme, etc. Performance of this power supply control interface including hardware components and software applications is presented.

A fully digital power supply system for TLS corrector magnets

“…The TLS at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) is an essential scientific facility, but with technological advancement, upgrading and improving the facility has become increasingly necessary [1,2]. One issue that needs improvement is the power supply system for the storage ring correction magnets.…”
