Abraham, Justin (iThemba LABS)08/10/2023, 08:45
iThemba Laboratories for Accelerator Based Science (LABS) was established in the 1980s to support the nuclear physics research community and to produce radioisotopes for nuclear medicine applications. This paper outlines the development of the iThemba LABS accelerator control system from mini-computers running RTE and CAMAC instrumentation, through to a system based on a LAN of PCs running...

ESS has been moving towards using pvAccess (PVA) as its main EPICS protocol. For the commissioning round this spring, we switched the default protocol for our user applications (CS-Studio Phoebus) to PVA. The talk reports our experience of running almost exclusively on PVA, the (few) issues we encountered and comparing the experience with CA.

The ISIS Neutron and Muon Source accelerators have been controlled using Vsystem running on OpenVMS / Itaniums, while beamlines and instruments are controlled using EPICS. We outline the work in migrating accelerator controls to EPICS using the pvAccess protocol with a mixture of conventional EPICS IOCs and custom Python-based IOCs primarily deployed in containers on Linux servers. The...

The SIRIUS synchrotron light source uses soft IOCs that extensively communicate with other IOCs and soft IOCs, in the accelerator itself and at the beamlines, to perform high level computations or orchestrations. Most of these soft IOCs are implemented in Python using the PCASpy library and, in some specific cases, the EPICS Sequencer module was also employed. This presentation not only aims...

Blomley, Edmund (Karlsruhe Institut of Technology (KIT))08/10/2023, 13:15
The Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany has been in operation for over 20 years now. It originally started with a custom control system using custom hardware control boards. After adding a second independent control system to be able to handle PLCs, the arrival of new diagnostics for the accelerator with built-in EPICS support triggered the...

STS Integrated Control Systems (ICS) provide integrated controls, data acquisition, computing infrastructure, and protection systems across all the STS technical areas. The development of ICS for the STS project builds on the existing SNS control system infrastructure that is based on the EPICS toolkit. This presentation will give an overview of STS control system architecture including...

The open source EtherCAT Motion Control (ECMC) framework originally developed at the European Spallation Source is a real-time Ethernet-based fieldbus system for distributed and synchronized systems. ECMC is built on top of the open source Etherlab master to communicate with and control EtherCAT devices, and is available as an EPICS module. The ECMC framework together with commercially...
