| Popis: | In this paper, the new motion control system that governs the position of high power attenuators and phase shifters in the linac’s RF system at SLRI is described. The drive system, which was originally driven by a set of AC reversible motors, is replaced by a new set of stepper motors. The hardware selection and installation is presented in detail. The digital control circuits are designed in VHDL and implemented on a commercial Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board. The main software part, implemented in MicroBlaze Microcontroller System (MCS), is coded in C to control the position of stepper motors relative to the DC voltage reference points of the hardware system. A LabVIEW GUI is designed to interface with the control system to provide reference points and display position values via RS-232 and PLC interfaces. This stepper motor control system can be used to effectively implement the phase and amplitude control system of the linac’s RF signals in the future. Proceedings of the 12th Int.
