Description
A VME based control system has been developed and built at CERN for the servo
loops regulating the field in linac accelerating structures. It is an all-digital
system built on a single VME card, providing digital detection, processing, and
modulation. It is foreseen to be used, in different versions, for the needs of both
present and future CERN hadron linacs and is currently being used in the energy
ramping RF chain of the CERN Heavy Ion Linac (Linac 3). The design principle and
the experimental results are described.
