179. From 40G to 100G - a new MCH concept

KOERTE, Heiko (N.A.T.)

Real Time System Architectures and Intelligent Signal Processing

Oral presentation

ncreasing demands for modularity and bandwidth especially in Physics applications create a constant challenge to meet the requirements of application from the “low end” (i.e. Industrial PLC type of control) to the “high end” (i.e. data acquisition and processing with high-end FPGAs). Existing switched MOSA (modular open system architecture) approaches such as MicroTCA, which are heavily used...

163. Versatile Configuration and Control Framework for Real Time Data Acquisition Systems

KARCHER, Nick (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))

Control, Monitoring,Test and Real Time Diagnostics Systems

Oral presentation

FPGA-based systems for real-time data acquisition in long-term experiments require an interface for hardware control if they do not act autonomously. Besides a low-level register interface, access to I2C and SPI buses is also needed to configure the complete device. Advanced control flows and calculations required for configuration and calibration are not possible without implementation on the...

180. Firmware and Software Implementation Status of the nBlm and icBlm Systems for ESS Facility

Dr JALMUZNA, Wojciech (Lodz University of Technology)

Control, Monitoring,Test and Real Time Diagnostics Systems

Oral presentation

Ionization chamber Beam Loss Monitor (icBLM) and neutron Beam Loss Monitor (nBLM) systems are fundamental components of European Spallation Source (ESS) accelerator safety infrastructure. Main responsibility of these devices is an instantaneous and reliable detection of accelerated proton beam loss that exceeds predefined safety threshold. The detection statuses from several detectors are...

182. Integrated real-time supervisory management for handling of off-normal-events and feedback control of tokamak plasmas

Control, Monitoring,Test and Real Time Diagnostics Systems

Oral presentation

For long-pulse-tokamaks, one of the main challenges in control strategy is to simultaneously reach multiple control objectives using a limited set of actuators and to robustly handle in real-time (RT) off-normal-events (ONE). We have developed a flexible and generic architecture of the plasma control system (PCS) to deal with these issues. The PCS is separated into a tokamak-dependent and a...

194. EasyPET Technologies

CORREIA, Pedro (University of Aveiro)

19/10/2020, 08:55

Oral presentation

EasyPET-3D is an affordable PET scanner technology capable of acquiring
real time and high quality in-vivo PET images of mice. While the high price
of preclinical PET scanners makes them unaccessible for many research
centers, EasyPET-3D reduces the overall costs without compromising image
quality. The system uses an innovative acquisition method based on two
rotation axes for the movement of...
