Description

The fourth-generation synchrotron radiation source, with its ultra-high brightness and nanometer-level spatial resolution, has become a core facility supporting cutting-edge scientific research. The Hefei Advanced Light Source comprises over 2,000 magnet power supplies, requiring remote online adjustment and synchronized current settings to meet the physical requirements of the electron beam. This paper proposes a distributed control system architecture to address the control requirements of large-scale magnet power supplies. At the hardware level, build server clusters and leverage virtualization technology to deliver highly available system services. At the network level, a star-topology Ethernet network and a synchronized timing network are constructed. At the software level, a customized communication protocol enables remote monitoring of the magnet power supply. Additionally, data security and efficient deployment were also taken into consideration. This distributed control system provides a scalable solution for batch magnet management in fourth-generation light sources.
