Overview of CLIC Acquisition and Control Module Development and NI Systems Integration
This document summarizes the CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) Acquisition and Control Module (ACM) meeting held on March 10, 2013, by Adriaan Rijllart. It covers ACM requirements, the motivation for utilizing National Instruments (NI) systems, an inventory of signal sources, a proposed prototype, and plans for miniaturization. Key points include the necessity for high readout speeds, cost-effective industrial solutions, and the integration of advanced timing and data acquisition systems. A roadmap for validation and future developments is included.

Content • CLIC ACM requirements • Motivation for NI systems • Inventory of signals • Prototype system proposal • Miniaturisation • Planning • Summary CMWG - A. Rijllart
ACM requirements • 23000 modules-2m length-200 signals/module- details in excel file- large variety of signal sources (18 GHz wakefield monitor to DC temperature sensors or flow-meters)- requested readout speed: up to 100 Hz- single value readouts or vector readouts- FE electronics needs external timing reference with psstability • Standard industrial solution with crates and individual modules will explode the available budget • TDR phase of CLIC (2011-2016) will seek industrial “custom solution” CMWG - A. Rijllart
Motivation for NI-PXI systems • Industrial standard • Hardware and software made to work together • Large offer • 600 alliance partners world wide • Good support CMWG - A. Rijllart
Inventory of signals CMWG - A. Rijllart
NI DAQ modules CMWG - A. Rijllart
NI system proposal CMWG - A. Rijllart
NI system cost CMWG - A. Rijllart
NI system overview Controller DIO Serial Synchro IEEE-1588 Fast ADC DIO + Slow ADC + DAC CMWG - A. Rijllart
FlexRIO architecture CMWG - A. Rijllart
FPGA controller • Fiber-Optic MXI-Express x4 link, PXIe-PCIe8375 • 838 MB/s sustained transfer rate • Remote control of PXIe crate • Cost 5 kCHF CMWG - A. Rijllart
Next steps NI-ACM • Functional validation (DAQ, timing, data transfer) • Purchase system with FPGA based controller • Communication test with optical fibre (length) • Validate on Module Test Stand • Develop White Rabbit FPGA controller • Radiation resistance test? • Controller + DAQ boards CMWG - A. Rijllart
White Rabbit-FPGA controller • Development by NI • White Rabbit timing signal decoding • Loop back in the daisy chain • Estimated cost 25 kCHF • The White Rabbit timing should be decoded on the FPGA • The loop back mechanism should be implemented, if we want to be protected from a single fibre fault CMWG - A. Rijllart
Miniaturisation • Final system requirements: • cheap • consuming little power • easy cooling (conduction?) • small • Solution: • Miniaturise 15 boards into 1 small box • NI has long experience with custom design CMWG - A. Rijllart
CMW integration • OASIS compatibility • Choices: • FESA 3 • Lightweight CMW client • A short study needed to compare the 2 solutions CMWG - A. Rijllart
NI-ACM (+ RF) Planning CMWG - A. Rijllart
Summary • NI system can fit the ACM requirements • Miniaturisation can solve the cost, power, cooling and space requirements • Proposed program: • Validation of NI-ACM functionality: 120 kCHF • Fibre optic controller: 5 kCHF • WR timing and loop back development: 25 kCHF CMWG - A. Rijllart
