APECS is the distributed control system of the new Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope located on the Llano de Chajnantor at an altitude of 5107 m in the Atacama desert in northern Chile. APECS is based on Atacama Large…
This paper presents the Adaptive Personalized Control System (APECS) architecture, a novel framework for human-in-the-loop control. An architecture is developed which defines appropriate constraints for the system objectives. A method for…
Implementation and commissioning of the EPICS based control system for the ISAC radioactive beam facility was completed. The target ion source, mass separator, and low-energy beam-lines started beam production for experiments. In parallel,…
We will use EPICS toolkit [1] to build a prototype for upgrading BEPC control system. The purposes are for the following three aspects: (1) Setup a network based distributed control system with EPICS. (2) Study some front-end control…
The Intense Pulsed Neutron Source has been an operating user facility for more than 20 years. Development of an upgrade for the data acquisition system has been in progress for some time now. Now that the initial installation on the test…
The ALICE experiment profited of the Long Shutdown during 2019-2021 in order to expand its physics capabilities and fully profit from the increased LHC luminosity in Run 3. The Inner Tracking System has been replaced with a new silicon…
