Optimization of the DC Power Supply Measurement System for Heavy Ion Accelerators

Optimizing the existing data readback system of heavy ion accelerator power supplies, a new data measurement system was designed on an independently developed digital power controller. This was aimed at replacing the existing power readback systems on certain heavy ion accelerator power supplies to reduce hardware costs. Modifications were made to the FPGA parameters controlling the ADC within the controller, and a data interaction supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system was developed on the computer side. The system converts the analog signals from the power supply into digital signals, which are then transmitted to the supervisory computer. The data is then filtered using MATLAB to obtain the final results. Comparison with the existing power measurement systems showed that the optimized data measurement system could replace the existing power measurement systems in scenarios where short-term measurement of a large amount of data is required.
