Description
The CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) Low Level RF (LLRF) system is composed of cavity controllers, which regulate the field in the cavities, and a beam control, in charge of maintaining the required longitudinal beam specifications and managing the injection and extraction processes. The current beam control system, implemented using mainly analogue electronics in NIM and VME formats, is set to be replaced by modern digital platforms that have been deployed in other machines in the complex. This upgrade aims for a redesigned, more centralized and standardised system. The new compact digital module will result in significantly reduced hardware requirements and improvement in diagnostics and maintenance. This paper provides an overview of the system’s architecture, hardware, firmware, and development plan, focusing on the control loops and the interaction between the module and other components in the system.
