  Running a CW electron accelerator as a user facility for more than two decades necessitates upgrades or even complete redesign of subsystems at some point. At ELBE, the outdated timing system needed a replacement due to obsolete components and functional limitations. Starting in 2019, with Cosylab as contractor and using hardware by Micro Research Finland, the new timing system has been developed and tested and is about to become operational. Besides the ability to generate a broader variety of beam patterns from single pulse mode to 26 MHz CW beams for the two electron sources, one of the benefits of the new system is improved machine safety. The ELBE control systems is mainly based on PLCs and industrial SCADA tools. This contribution depicts how the timing system implementation to the existing machine entailed extensions and modifications of the ELBE machine protection system, i.e. a new core MPS PLC, and how they are being realized.

TUPDP022 DALI Control System Considerations 547

  The Dresden Advanced Light Infrastructure (DALI) is part of the German national Helmholtz Photon Science Roadmap. It will be a high-field source of intense terahertz radiation based on accelerated electrons and the successor of the Center for High-Power Radiation Sources (ELBE) operated at HZDR since 2002. In the current phase of DALI the conceptional design report is in preparation and there are ongoing considerations which control system to use best. We will present the status of those considerations, that include defining the requirements for the control system and a discussion of control system candidates. In the early conceptional phase we are still open to any control system that can fulfill our requirements. Besides pure technical performance, features and security the requirements encompass modernity, well established support by community and companies, long term availability as well as collaboration potential and benefit. To collect opinions from the community on what is the optimal control system we prepared a survey. Like that we would like to benefit as much as possible from the community experience with different types of control systems.
