-===== Libera =====+===== Libera Platform B ===== 
 + 
 +The Libera is a data acquisition and beam position processor system used for the BPM systems in different accelerators and transfer lines. It was developed by the slovenian company [[https://www.i-tech.si|Instrumentation Technologies]] and was adapted and enhanced for FAIR applications as an in-kind contribution. It is a modular [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroTCA|MicroTCA]] based system used in different configurations for the particular requirements of the BPM systems for different accelerators at GSI and FAIR.

 + 
 +==== Libera Platform B features ==== 
 + 
 +Each of our Liberas has some features which are common for each application: 
 +  * 19“, 2U, 310mm depth 
 +  * MTCA based (non standard) 
 +  * COMe Controller Board 
 +  * FTRN slot 
 +  * Acts as FEC 
 +  * Up to 4 BPM modules 
 + 
 +==== Libera family tree ==== 
 + 
 +For GSI/FAIR beam diagnostics there are four types of applications: 
 +  * Libera Hadron for Circular Machines 
 +  * Libera Hadron for Circular Machines + Closed Orbit Feedback (COFB) 
 +  * Libera Hadron for HEBT 
 +  * Libera Single Pass H (SPH) 
 + 
 +{{ :instruments:bpm:libera_family_tree_1_0.png?direct&400 |Libera family tree @GSI & FAIR}} 
 + 
 +Another application for the Libera at GSI/FAIR is the Low Level RF (LLRF) controlling. It is under responsibilty of GSI's LRF department and not further treated in this article. 
 + 
 +The usabilty of a Libera for a certain application depends from the hardware configuration and installed software. We have three types of hardware configurations: 
 + 
 +  * Libera Hadron for ESR, HESR & HEBT 
 +  * Libera Hadron + COFB for SIS18 & SIS100 
 +  * Libera SPH for p-Linac 
 + 
 +=== ESR-/ HESR-/ HEBT-Libera (Libera Hadron) ===

 + 
 +== Inter Connection Board (ICB) == 
 +  * COM Express MSC C6B-7S 
 +  * Intel Core i5-3610ME 
 +  * 16GB DDR3-1600 
 +  * GbE, USB 2.0, DVI-A 
 +  * ARM BMC 
 +  * FPGA

 +=== SIS18- /SIS100-Libera (Libera Hadron + COFB) ===

 + 
 +=== p-Linac-Libera (Libera SPH) === 
 +{{ :instruments:bpm:libera_sph_front.jpg?direct&600 |}} 
 + 
 +For the retrofit the Liberas are also now in use for GSI's SIS18 and ESR.
