Motivation for the presence
Cosylab timing projects
Cosylab wishes for MRF future
Introduction
we are now 85 and part of big projects ITER, ESS, MedAustron, Solaris, FAIR…. we like to do things efficiently and standardize solutions which
we believe is the most efficient for community my personal interest is timing-system standardization and besides above there are many emerging; RISP, MYRRHA, BNCT
where timing system shall be crucial part we believe MRF is a very solid platform for timing system solutions
About Cosylab3
ESS after analyzing ESS needs we believe MRF FW upgrades are needed we started with MRF “branch”, now we discussed with Timo to address this
MedAustron highly customized, medical-suited FW upgrade of MRF extended MRF to provide virtual accelerator service 4PY put into real-time application layer for medical ramping-synchrotron accelerator together with Jukka made PXIe EVR
RISP/RAON compare MRF “off the shelf” and WR
we really appreciate MRF platform we can buy from Jukka
FAIR it is WR, we are following this community and we understand situation
Solaris MRF off the shelf + Tango
MYRRHA MRF off the shelf + mrfioc2
Timing projects4
MedAustron REDNET
1x MRF EVG
n-x MRF EVR
REDNET = real-time event and data network
requirement analysis, architecture design development (LV + FPGA),
testing…
effort: ~4 MY

ESS timing system
implementation using standardized EPICS Nominal Device Support additions to MRF FW with fallback sequences, data emission coupled with
sequences, “MPS” PoC effort: ~1.5 MY
RISP / RAON7
Compare MRF & WR
Requirements
Architecture
data buffer emission done in RT (HW) and synchronized with sequencer(s)
sequencer gating in different modes (direct termination, graceful termination)
low level RT coupling with MPS
automatic propagation delay compensation
user trigger events with additional conditions for emission trigger timing event, delay, number of repetitions, decimation
easier/standardized setup of the system - everyone needs to know the TS very well before "Hello World" can be made
Abstraction layer – integrator should deal with his needs not direct HW configuration
more complete SW support (additions to mrfioc2)
