Insertion Devices Control System

What is it?


The Insertion Device Control System is a set of hardware and software in charge of controlling and monitoring the Insertion Devices.

An insertion device is a part of a synchrotron which produces highly-brilliant, forward-directed and quasi-monochromatic synchrotron radiation. The name comes from the fact that these are devices which are inserted into a straight section of a synchrotron or a storage ring. They are not essential to the operation of the storage ring itself, their only function is to generate synchrotron radiation.

Insertion devices typically consist of arrays of magnets which are used to generate a spatially periodic magnetic field at the electron beam path. The magnetic fields cause transverse acceleration to the relativistic electrons, causing them to emit synchrotron radiation.

CELLS beamlines each comprise a specific insertion device that determines the characteristics of the light used in each experiment and therefore need a full specific insertion device control system to control magnet motors, interlock signals, vacuum pumps or power supplies' corrector coils.
