Projects

Beamcontrol

• controls the safety cub and "Strahlanforderung"- signal depending on user action and interlock condition
• prevents the cup from damage by frequently occurrence of interlock signals
• provides secure "Beam off" condition
  
• shows the position of the safety cub

EnergyMeasAutomatic

• calculates and shows the ion beam energy in MeV/u on seven segment display
• normalizes counted events depending on beam intensity
• scans magnetic fields within an adjustable range by applying specific currents
  
• provides start, stop as well as gating functionality in case of low beam intensity
• works in 4 different user selectable operating modes
• counts events, saves average values and transmitts eventdata to a PC

TargetWheelControl

• synchronizes the target wheel to an external puls with a maximum deviation of +-200µs @ 18,67 Hz rotating speed
  
• mean deviation is about +-30µs @ 18,67 Hz rotating speed
• works in 2 user selectable speeds
  
• provides safety functionality: wheel blocked, wheel too fast/too slow, wheel not starting, puls failure...
  
• provides increment encoder position signals
• ...

MNGMotorcontrol

• replaces damaged motor control board of Bruker magnet power supply
• consists of up-to-date power circuits
• provides manual motor control
• shows status of motion
• compares desired and actual value and generates interlock condition (not used)
  

• Schematic
  

Triggerbox

• generates pulses to synchronise data acquisition systems such as Beam Energy Controlling, Target Online Diagnosis, SHIPGuard Target Visualisation...
• let the user choose a certain target to trigger connected hardware
• low cost standard microcontroller board

ActiCon

• provides additional safety functions in order to use radioactive targets
  
• controlls gate valves, pumps and target wheel depending on certain conditions like pressure in chamber and exhaust air tubes
• confirms to general safety standards
• activates sound and light alarm signals
  
• inhibits restart until user activates functions manually
  
• shows status of all connected sensors, pumps and target wheel

 SHIPGuard TargetLoupe

• a PC running LabView and controlling a current source for systematically scan in y direction expand the Target Online Diagnosis System of R. Mann and calulates high detailed 3D images of targets while experiment is running
• in the original system an electron beam is used to scan a target in rotating direction creating 2D images

 SHIPGuard - MakroLoupe

• measures deviation of sequent makro pulses with µs resolution
  
• measures deviation of the desired position and the actual position (in time) of the target wheel per round
  
• shows both deviations in different histogramms
• saves date and time when selectable limit values have been exceeded
  

• Picure of panel
