Abstract
The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) is a research facility and since December 2016 under commissioning at DESY in Hamburg. The XFEL superconducting accelerator is 1.5 km long and contains 96 superconducting accelerator modules. The control system EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) is used to control and operate the XFEL cryogenic system consisting of the XFEL refrigerator, cryogenic distribution systems and the XFEL accelerator. The PROFIBUS fieldbus technology is the key technology of the cryogenic instrumentation and the link to the control system. More than 650 PROFIBUS nodes are implemented in the different parts of the XFEL cryogenic facilities. The presentation will give an overview of PROFIBUS installation in these facilities regarding engineering, possibilities of diagnostics, commissioning and the first operating experience.
Highlights
The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), currently under commissioning at DESY, Hamburg will be operated as a research facility for multiple users
Basic ideas and principles of the DESY control system realized in the Cryo Module Test Bench (CMTB) [2] and the Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF) [3] were implemented and further developed in the control system for the XFEL cryogenic distribution system
Each component of the XFEL cryogenic distribution system is equipped with its own control system structure which comprises individual EPICS IOCs and PROFIBUS links
