Controls	Control System Developments for the Diamond Light Source DDBA Upgrade W. Rogers , M. G. Abbott , K. A. R. Baker , N. Battam , M. J. Furseman , I. J. Gillingham , P. Hamadyk , M. T. Heron , D. G. Hickin , S. Lay , I. P. S. Martin , A. Rose IPAC2017 DOI: 10.18429/JACoW-IPAC2017-TUPIK115 Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Upgrading one Double Bend Achromat cell to a Double Double Bend Achromat (DDBA) cell in the Diamond Light Source storage ring necessitated a broad range of changes to the overall control system. These changes covered developments to the interface layer of the controls system to incorporate changes to the underlying instrumentation, associated development of user interface, changes to real-time feedback and feed-forward processes and to the online accelerator model. Given the pressures to minimise the shutdown length, the control system developments were optimised for time effective installation and commissioning. This paper outlines the control system developments for DDBA, the management process and lessons learnt from this process.	May 2017
Accelerator Physics	Long-Term Stability of the Diamond Light Source Storage Ring M Apollonio , Keith Baker , William Hoffman , James Kay , Vince Kempson , I Martin , Riccardo Bartolini IPAC2014 Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: The Diamond storage ring has been in operation since January 2007. This paper summarises a number of measurements that have been made over that period to monitor the SR stability in height and position including general survey, Hydrostatic Levelling System (HLS), horizontal and vertical magnetic correction strengths as well as Radio Frequency (RF) that have given an indication of changing circumference.

	Results after one year from a Hydrostatic Levelling System installed at Diamond Light Source James Kay , Keith A. Baker , William J. Hoffman AIP Conference Proceedings DOI: 10.1063/1.3463260 Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: A Hydrostatic Levelling System (HLS) has been installed at Diamond Light Source. 8 sensors have been positioned along a 60 metre portion of the floor of the Storage Ring and the Experimental Hall, stretching out along a typical beamline route from Insertion Device to sample. 7 of the sensors are installed on the thick, reinforced concrete floor of the Experimental Hall which is supported on piles and the last sensor is mounted on the much thinner concrete floor of the peripheral walkway which has no piles. The foundations and floor were designed to achieve settlements measuring 1 micron per 10 metres per hour and 10 microns per 10 metres per day. A larger range was specified of 250 microns per 10 metres per year on the Experimental Hall floor and 100 microns per 10 metres per year in the Storage Ring to account for longer term settlement effects and seasonal variation and the HLS has been installed to try and measure these very small movements. Results after one year of operation are presented.	Jul 2010
