Abstract

The Elettra Storage Ring is operating for external Users since 1994. High stability, low ripple, DC power supplies are needed for energizing the magnets used to keep the electron beam on the defined path with the required characteristics. The remote control of the power supplies is still based on VME standard and serial MIL 1553 network. A study for upgrading the local power supplies control system, adopting modern technologies and software tools is presented in the article, along with the inherent difficulties due to the large number of units and the impact on the operation of the accelerator.
