Data traffic in the European XFEL

MicroTCA systems meet the increased demands in accelerator physics for signal processing capacity and reliability.

Company:

Located in Hamburg, Germany, The European XFEL is one of the most advanced research facilities in the world.

Challenge:

The MicroTCA chassis has to meet requirements such as cooling management, precise timing and synchronization capabilities, excellent data signal integrity and adherence to environmental requirements.

Solutions:

Use of MicoTCA.4 chassis with extensive functions for management and condition monitoring down to component level such as temperature and power consumption of individual boards.
