OVERVIEW & BACKGROUND

ALS-U is an upgrade project to the LBNL Advanced Light Source (ALS). The ALS is a 1.9 GeV storage ring operating at 500 mA of beam current. It is optimized to produce intense beams of soft x-rays, which offer spectroscopic contrast, nanometer-scale resolution, and broad temporal sensitivity. The ALS facility includes an accelerator complex and photon delivery system capable of providing the foundations for an upgrade to achieve world-leading soft x-ray coherent flux. The existing ALS provides a ready-made foundation, including conventional facilities, and also includes extensive beamlines (up to 40 simultaneously operating beamlines) and instrumentation, an experimental hall, computing resources, ancillary laboratories, offices, and related infrastructure to be heavily utilized in an upgrade scenario.

The five PLC chassis designs LBNL is looking to acquire (Model A through Model E), are based on Allen-Bradley 5380 series CPU and 5000 series I/O modules. All chassis are of a modular three-piece design and each sub-assembly can be assembled independently. The front panel contains all PLC components, and the rear panel includes interface connectors. When assembled together, these three sub-assemblies make up one PLC chassis.
