Types of Insertion Device Undulator - STI Device:

A 2-stepper motor device with the top and the bottom jaws coupled together by chains and gears; built by STI Optronics

Operated at gaps 11 mm ~ 35 mm

Undulator - NGSM Device (New Gap Separation Mechanism): A 4-stepper motor device with each motor controlling each end of the

top and bottom jaws. Operated at gaps 11 mm ~ 35 mm

EMW Device (Elliptical Multipole Wiggler): A 2-stepper motor device with the top and the bottom jaws controlled

separately. Permanent magnets in the vertical plane and electromagnets in the

horizontal plane Normally operated at a 24mm gap

CPU Device (Circularly Polarized Undulator): A fixed gap device with only electromagnets

Insertion Devices Status

Currently 20 2-motor (STI) devices, 9 4-motor (NGSM) devices, 1 CPU device, and 1 EMW device

Total of 31 insertion devices located in 27 sectors around the storage ring

The rest of this talk will discuss the 2 motor and the 4 motor insertion device control system

Mode of Operation

The device is issued a command to move to a certain gap/energy Both ends of both jaws are moved simultaneously For taper, one end is kept at a different gap than the other end The taper angle is limited to 2 mrad, which translates to about 5 mm

difference in gap between the two ends ( 2.4 m long devices) At beam loss:

Devices are switched to Operator access Devices are fully opened

After Injection to more than 2 ma: The devices are commanded to move to their previous user gaps which

were saved prior to beam loss Device is switched back to User access

Beamlines request Floor Coordinator to set a beamline limit on the minimum gap of the device Used by the beamline staff for additional equipment protection

ID Safeguards & Operating Ranges

Typical operating ranges: STI Device 11 – 180mm NGSM Device 11 – 180mm

The nominal ID gap is set at specified magnet poles. This means that due to magnetic tuning there may be spots along the structure that are higher by 100µm. So, in some cases the total clearance between the magnetic array and the vacuum chamber may be as tight as 25µm (0.001”) to either side of the chamber.

ID Control System Limit Switch Interlocks

Logic A minimum limit hit at one end stops that end

from closing any further while inhibiting opening of the opposite end of the ID

A maximum limit hit at one end stops that end from opening any further while inhibiting closing of the opposite end of the ID

Prevents ID from crushing the vacuum chamber

Hard wired limit switches remove AC input power from the stepper motor drives

Control of the device is accomplished with 10 process variable

Additional 5 process variables are used for synchronous Scanning mode.

Only 8 relevant process variables need to be monitored at any time

Additional monitoring of 10 process variables may be useful

If needed, device can be controlled via a serial line
