  At the European Spallation Source, over 300 MicroTCA systems will be deployed over the accelerator, target area and instruments. Covering integrations for RF, Beam Instrumentation, Machine Protection and Timing Distribution systems, ESS has developed a method to standardise the deployment of the basic MicroTCA system configuration using a combination of Python scripts and Ansible playbooks with a view to ensure long-term maintainability of the systems and future upgrades. By using Python scripts to setup, the Micro Carrier Hub (MCH) registering it on the network and update the firmware to our chosen version, and Ansible playbooks to register the Concurrent Technologies CPU on the ESS network and install the chosen Linux OS before a second playbook installs the ESS EPICs Environment (E3) ensures all new systems have identical setup procedures and have all the necessary packages before the on-site integration is started.

  The Low Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) system is an important part of a Spallation Source facility as ESS. LLRF is commonly used with many different setups depending on the aim: preparation, calibration, conditioning, commission and others. These different setups are strongly connected to another important system on accelerators: the Timing System. This proceeding presents how at ESS we implemented the integration between LLRF and Timing systems on the control system scope. The integration of these two systems provides different and important features as: allow different ways to trigger the RF system (synced or not to other systems), define how the RF output will be defined (based on the features of the expected beam), re-configure LLRF depending on the timing setup and more. This integration was developed on both ends, LLRF and timing, and is mostly concentrated on the control system layer based on EPICS. Dealing with the different scenarios, synchronicity and considering all the software, hardware and firmware involved are some of the challenges of this integration. The result of this work was used during the ESS accelerator commissioning in 2022 and will be used on next ESS accelerator commissioning in 2023.
