Abstract
Background
The Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) is a high-brightness collider and operates in compatible mode of synchronous light source. This summer, BEPCII spare cavity, which was all made in China, had been put into BEPCII operation, and the LLRF system for the spare cavity was also upgraded at the time.
Purpose
The purpose is to stably control the amplitude and phase of the spare cavity and apply digital technology to achieve some intelligent functions.
Methods
The digital method is applied in the superconducting cavity feedback control of the accelerator and it introduces the digital technology of the RF low-level control system that has been stably applied to the BEPCII spare cavity operation. In addition, some functions such as quench detector and input protection as well as horizontal test have been realized in the RF system operation.
Results
The amplitude and phase stabilities of cavity voltage with beam in the digital LLRF have reached \(\pm 0.09\%\) (RMS) and \(\pm 0.055^{\circ }\) (RMS), respectively.
Conclusion
The BEPCII spare cavity with digital LLRF system has been stably operated for 2 months. The DLLRF system has been reliable and stable, and the performance of the spare cavity with beam was very good.
