A fully digital power supply system for TLS corrector magnets

Abstract

Abstract This study focuses on the development of a fully digital power supply system (FDPSS) for the Taiwan Light Source (TLS) storage ring corrector magnet, which includes the fully digital correction power supply (FDCPS), digital communication card (DCC), and a virtual operation interface. The DCPS adopts a full-bridge circuit architecture, with the TI TMS320F28335 digital signal processor (DSP) as the core, combined with an 18-bit high-resolution A/D converter and discrete PID algorithm to achieve closed-loop current control, ensuring a stable output current value of the system. The DCC can control eight DCPS modules through an RS485 protocol with a virtual instrument control interface. This new system can replace the analog signal-modulated Bira MCOR30A power supply system, which has been in operation for 25 years in the TLS storage ring and can be upgraded to an FDPSS. This article aims to discuss the design concepts, hardware implementation, and testing of FDCPS and DCC to demonstrate the advantages of full digital control and to achieve the goal of independently researching and developing the prototype of FDPSS. Ultimately, after long-term testing and verification, the system's output current stability is less than ± 20ppm, indicating that this new system has high-precision and high-stability output current characteristics. In this study, upgrading the TLS storage ring corrector magnet power supply system to full digital control significantly improves output current stability and accuracy.
