(32) DSPDAC Latency in control loop limits feedback gain (and therefore field stability)  build faster feedback hardware (Current revision: SimCon 3.1 FPGA system, ~200ns) Mechanical / electrical detuning limits performance and increases power demand  build fast resonance frequency control system (piezo or magnetostrictive tuning) Calibration of signals determines precision (nonlinear effects)  build transient detection hardware Reference and Distribution determines field stability  build long range temperature stable reference system

9. Fermilab AAC May 11 th 9/12 LLRF Plans for A0/SMTF (Present / Short Term) Refer to Brian Chase talk What we have done already –Commision SimCon 2.1 prototype (1 week in March 05) at A0 –Achieved high gain (~100) already –Cleaned up DOOCS control system at A0 What we plan (short term, May '05 until end '05) –Again set up SimCon 2.1 at A0 –Improve calibration of system –Test various algorithms –Establish remote connection DESY  FNAL –Update DOOCS control system at FNAL DESY support by G. Grygiel, O. Hensler, K. Rehlich DOOCS has interface to other systems, e.g. EPICS

Fermilab AAC May 11 th 11/12 LLRF Plans for A0/SMTF (Medium / Long Term) Refer to Brian Chase talk What we plan (medium term, starting from end '05) –Continue support on the DOOCS control system at FNAL –Provide further SimCon systems (SimCon 3.1 to arrive by the end of this year) –Provide signal detection hardware (downconverters) –Collaboration with FNAL-staff on algorithm development What we plan (long term) –Provide and support further SimCon systems –Continue support on the DOOCS control system at FNAL

12. Fermilab AAC May 11 th 12/12 Summary and Outlook Based on the successful experience of TTF1 (first machine with VS control) and VUV-FEL, DESY is currently in the process of developing the LLRF control for XFEL Development of LLRF control for XFEL already accounts for the requirements of ILC (automation, radiation hardness) Demonstrated single cavity control at A0 in March '05 Established collaboration with FNAL for FPGA software development Plan to equip SMTF with next revisions of SimCon As a universal digital control system SimCon is applicable to many accelerators (in principle it is not restricted to LLRF control only)
