A MODULAR CONTROL SYSTEM BASED ON ACS FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE ANKA INSERTION DEVICES

The 2.5 GeV synchrotron facility ANKA, at Forschungs-zentrum Karlsruhe, Germany has three insertion devices which are in operation now. The SCU14 was the first superconducting undulator worldwide tested with beam [1]. The successor, SCU15 will be implemented in the ANKA ring in mid 2009. The paper describes the design and implementation of a modular control system structure, based on object oriented (oo) technologies for existing and future ANKAinsertion devices (IDs) with permanent- or superconducting magnets. It gives the description of a hardware solution, based on Cosylabs MICROIOC MCS8-PMAC2 interface [2] for undulator motion control of gaps and scrapers, main power supply, corrector power supplies, temperature control and Interlocks (ILs). Last but not least the integration of the housekeeping functions, cooling, vacuum control and Interlocks to SCADA-PVSS II and the communication with ACS are described.
