Description

At DESY, extensive technical design and prototyping work is currently underway to upgrade the PETRA III synchrotron light source to PETRA IV, a fourth-generation low-emittance machine. The realization of the new machine necessitates a redesign of the accelerator’s control and timing systems. The primary hardware components will be based on the MTCA.4 standard, which has established itself as a reliable platform at DESY. The control system framework will be modernized to accommodate the demands of a fourth-generation light source. This paper presents the key decisions made in this context and provides an overview of the design and development process.
