2.4.3.1.6 Control of Power Converters<br />

DRAFT<br />

In Figure 2.4.74 the general structure of a power converter is presented. There are three main<br />

components: the Power Part, the Power Converter Control and a Basic I/O-system.<br />

Power Converter<br />

The Power Converter Control is a modular system consisting of a Multifunction unit, an ADC unit<br />

for fast analogue signals and a Control unit. The Multifunction unit is the user interface for manual<br />

operation and service and diagnosis by computer or oscilloscope. It also contains the communication<br />

ports to the external accelerator control system via the basic I/O-unit, and the control loops<br />

and the control topology of the power converter are also implemented in the Multifunction unit.<br />

The ADC unit acquires fast analogue signals of the power part, for example the load current, for<br />

control, protection and documentation purposes.<br />

The Control unit generates command signals and firing pulses for the power electronics of the<br />

power part. Additionally it handles status and interlock signals and slow analogue signals for<br />

protection purposes<br />

As illustrated in Figure 2.4.75 the power converter communicate on a basic digital I/O-level in real<br />

time with a link to the external control system. This link generates the real time data of the set value<br />

for the power converter from data provided by the external control system. Thereby the communication<br />

to the external control system is not in real time. The link mentioned before is an electronic<br />

card which is not part of the power converter. However it can be integrated into the power converter.<br />
