16. LCLS Injector Support • IOC at sector 20 • Provides SLC -> EPICS Timing Connection • Controls and monitors LCLS source laser • Provides extensive diagnostics (CCD Ring Buffers) for laser system Ron Chestnut, SLAC/ESD

17. LCLS Injector Issues • Our first foray into an EPICS timing implementation. • CCD processing solutions are rapidly evolving.We need to watch closely. • Current plans for RF control foresee an SLC-based solution, even for the RF gun. • This is thought to be a simple linear feedback, so an EPICS-based solution is a distinct possibility. • Additional IOCs would then replace additional SLC Micros in the project. VME crates/modules would replace CAMAC crates/modules. Ron Chestnut, SLAC/ESD

18. LCLS EPICS Timing • Most EPICS timing systems are based on the decade-old APS model. • The SLC system provides a 128-bit wide description of “beam code” information. • The LCLS timing requirements are tighter than any simple extension of the APS model. • Significant development will be required in a cooperative effort between Hardware and Software and between SLAC and other labs.

25. Undulator Motor Controls • High motor count dictates dense control scheme • Costing estimates based on current stepper-driven methods • “Smart Motors” may work well in this application but change overall design • Use of encoders assumed – if not, cost will go down Ron Chestnut, SLAC/ESD

27. Undulator Power Supply Controls • “Standard” Magnet power supplies controlled via fieldbus • Phase correctors use piezo-electric stages controlled with commercial hardware • Current products do not support large numbers of stages per controller, driving up costs • Investigate custom hardware?
