EPICS 2008, ShanghaiBEPCII Timing System11 2 EVGs, 18 EVRs 13 VME crates and controllers, 2 levels of fanout, 5 Fout-7 modules in total. GUN-TX and Gun-Rx for e-gun pulser timing 4 TD-4Vs for Kickers 18 sets of home-made E/O and O/E for linac BEPCII timing system hardware

EPICS 2008, ShanghaiBEPCII Timing System12 What are special in BEPCII event timing Hardware developed –18 sets of optical transmitting/receiving boards, for gun power supply, positron source, and 16 modulators (LI Gang, LE Qi) –Gun-Rx module modified to generate NIM outputs directly (WANG Lin) –Revolution frequency Software –Make every bucket selectable –Fast bucket selection: a dedicated record support and device support developed for fast bucket selection

EPICS 2008, ShanghaiBEPCII Timing System13 To select any bucket The event clock is set to 499.8MHz/5. –Reason: In EVG-200, the event clock is generated from RF divided by 4,5,6,8,10 and 12, among which only 5 is a prime numver. event-clock/7 is set to be the sequencer clock –Reason: 7 is a common factor of BEPCII ring RF and linac RF frequnecy. Bn = MOD(Rn*35, 396), for BEPCII colliding mode –Rn is the SequenceRAM unit number, Bn is the bucket number. –Using the above formula, any unit from 0 to 395 in SeqRAM can be mapped to one and only one bucket in the ring, which has 396 buckets in total. The above formula can generate a table, SeqRAM unit to bucket number. Transform it to a table mapping bucket number to SeqRAM unit number.

EPICS 2008, ShanghaiBEPCII Timing System15 To select any bucket This table is put into an array of one-dimension in our dedicated record support which does the fast bucket selection. The n-th element of table gives the SeqRAM unit which generates the n-th bucket to the ring. Similarly, we generate the mapping table for BEPCII synchronized radiation mode by Bn = MOD(Rn*35, 402)

EPICS 2008, ShanghaiBEPCII Timing System16 Fast bucket selection event timing + Beam Current Monitor A new EPICS record support has been created to do the fast bucket selection, –Damping time consideration, bucket switch in 50Hz –protection to BCM hardware process –read BCM values from reflective memory card of BI group, select a bucket of smallest bunch current –map the bucket number into corresponding SeqRAM unit, –Set event code to the above unit in SeqRAM of EVG
