Description
At MAX IV, a Model Predictive Control approach is in experimental use for the Slow Orbit Feedback system to improve robustness and reduce actuator saturation. The controller is based on the beam orbit response matrix, listens to events from all beam position monitors, and updates the control signals to the slow corrector magnets at 10 Hz. This talk will briefly go through the development process, the benefits seen so far, and the challenges faced during implementation at MAX IV.
