Technical requirements: For the construction of the first facility section of FAIR, special hardware and electronic components are required on the one hand, as well as support services for software integration into the accelerator's control system and beam diagnostic system. The hardware and software integration serves to ensure compatibility with the very complex and specific control system standards of the FAIR accelerator and is a main component of the scope of delivery. This includes the extension or development of so-called FESA classes with integrated LSA data supply by the accelerator control system as well as the connection to the campus-wide timing system based on a white-rabbit real-time network. In this context, special electronic and mechanical components are to be supplied, as well as programming and support services.
According to the detailed specifications, several hardware equipment and mechanical actuators have to be customized, manufactured and tested as well as SPS programming and System Software has to be upgraded or newly designed. Also Support for Hardware and Software Integration into the FAIR systems is required.
