	As part of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project, the controls of the PSB and PS injection kickers at CERN have been upgraded during Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) from heterogeneous home-made electronic solutions to a modular and open architecture. Despite both kickers have significantly different functionalities, topologies and operational requirements, standardized hardware and software control blocks have been used for both systems. The new control architecture is built around a set of sub-systems, each one with a specific generic function required for the control of fast pulsed systems such as equipment and personnel safety, slow control and protection, high precision fast timing system, fast interlocking and protection, pulsed signal acquisition and analysis. Each sub-system comprises a combined integration of hardware components and associated low level software. This paper presents the functionality of the different sub-systems, illustrates how they have been integrated for the two different use-cases, discusses the lessons learned from these first implementations and identifies possible evolution in view of deployment in other installations during Long Shutdown 3 (LS3).

THPDP056	Consolidation of the Power Trigger Controllers of the LHC Beam Dumping System	1439
	L. Strobino, N. Magnin, N. Voumard European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland
	The Power Trigger Controller (PTC) of the LHC Beam Dumping System (LBDS) is in charge of the control and supervision of the Power Trigger Units (PTU), which are used to trigger the conduction of the 50 High-Voltage Pulsed Generators (HVPG) of the LBDS kicker magnets. This card is integrated in an Industrial Control System (ICS) and has the double role of controlling the PTU operating mode and monitoring its status, and of supervising the LBDS triggering and re-triggering systems. As part of the LBDS consolidation during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), a new PTC card was designed, based on a System-on-Chip (SoC) implemented in an FPGA. The FPGA contains an ARM Cortex-M3 softcore processor and all the required peripherals to communicate with onboard ADCs and DACs (3rd-party IPs or custom-made ones) as well as with an interchangeable fieldbus communication module, allowing the board to be integrated in various types of industrial control networks in view of future evolution. This new architecture is presented together with the advantages in terms of modularity and reusability for future projects.

THPDP057	SPS Beam Dump Enhancements on Tracking and Synchronization	1444
	N. Voumard, N. Magnin, P. Van Trappen European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland
	During Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) at CERN, the SPS Beam Dumping System (SBDS) was completely renovated and relocated to SPS Point 5. This allowed to deploy at the SPS the Beam Energy Tracking System (BETS) and the Trigger Synchronization Unit (TSU), initially designed for and operational at the LHC Beam Dumping System (LBDS). The challenge encountered in this migration was the dynamic multi-cycle operation scheme with fast ramping cycles of the SPS in comparison to the long physics periods at stable energy of the LHC. This paper describes the modification of both BETS and TSU systems as well as the automatic arming sequence put in place, including the interactions with the SPS injection, the beam revolution frequency, and the Beam Interlock System (BIS).
