Description

The Reconfigurable CPCI-S.0 multi-diagnostic DAQ and processing system was developed at PSI as part of the unified hardware strategy for the SLS 2.0 upgrade. Each system integrates a modern Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC carrier with an FMC ADC and RTM module, providing a common architecture for data acquisition, configuration, and EPICS integration across multiple beam diagnostics while ensuring low-latency and high-stability operation.

In one of its main multi-diagnostic configurations, the platform consolidates three key instruments—Longitudinal Beam Loss Monitors (LBLM), Integrating Current Transformers (ICT) for bunch-charge measurements, and DC beam current transformers (PCT)—into a single reconfigurable system. A uniform configuration model and shared firmware framework simplify commissioning and ensure consistent operation across the accelerator chain. Three instances are deployed in SLS 2.0: one for ICT and LBLM in the linac and transfer lines, one for the booster PCT, and one in the storage ring hosting a dual PCT configuration to provide operational redundancy for beam-intensity monitoring and machine-protection functions.

This paper presents the deployment of the common diagnostic platform across the SLS 2.0 layout, outlines its architecture, and describes the three diagnostic configurations together with their instances and associated control interfaces.
