Many large accelerator facilities have adopted the open-source EPICS software as the quasi-industry standard for control systems. They typically have access to their own electronics laboratory and dedicated personnel for control system…
The large scientific projects present new technological challenges, such as the distributed control over a communication network. In particular, the middleware EPICS is the most extended communication standard in particle accelerators. The…
In the control system of the JAERI-KEK joint project (High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility), it is planned to employ network-based controllers such as PLC's and measurement stations instead of using other field control networks, since…
The Multiple Sensor Interface is a simple sensor interface that works with USB, RS485 and GPIO. It allows one to make measurements using a variety of sensors based on the change of inductance, resistance, capacitance, and frequency using…
The SNS Project intends to integrate Conventional Facility Controls with its EPICS-based Accelerator and Target Control Systems. EPICS will therefore be used to provide distributed high-level access to all subsystems of the SNS conventional…
CEA Irfu Saclay is involved as partner in the ESS accelerator construction through different work-packages: controls for several RF test stands, for cryomodule demonstrators, for the RFQ coupler test and for the conditioning around 120…
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…
While the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is widely used at large laboratories for slow controls and instrumentation, the deployment of a full EPICS installation can be difficult, with a steep learning curve to…
At the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) where up to 90 beamlines can be provided in the future, minimisation of workload for individual beamlines and maximisation of knowledge about one beamline that can be applied to other beamlines is…
Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is a software tool that during last years has become relevant as a main framework to deploy distributed control systems in large scientific environments. At the moment, ESS Bilbao…
The Robot Operating System (ROS) provides a software framework, and ecosystem of knowledge and community supplied resources to rapidly develop and prototype intelligent robotics applications. By standardizing communication, configuration…
The set of externally visible properties associated with process variables in the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is predefined in the EPICS base distribution and is therefore not extensible by plug-compatible…
The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix line of pro-grammable logic controllers (PLCs) offers several in-terfaces: Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet, RS-232 and others. The ControlLogix Ethernet interface module 1756-ENET uses EtherNet/IP, the…
The Advanced Photon Source is now in its fifth year of routine beam production. The EPICS-based [1] control system has entered the phase in its life cycle where new control algorithms must be implemented under increasingly stringent…
Internal continuous discharge can rapidly damage high-current ion sources and their extraction systems composed of several electrodes at high voltage. To prevent this continuous discharge inside the extraction system, a rapid prototype…
The GRS is a one of the important units in Erbil Power Station EPS, which is responsible on controlling gas pressure and gas temperature this unit previously works manually. The local control panel for GRS system contains two types of…
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,…
Data acquisition systems for the accelerator complex at SRRC composed various hardware and software components. Beam signals are processed by related processing electronics, and connect to control system by various type of interfaces in…
Software engineers are faced with the challenge of creating control algorithms for increasingly complex dynamic systems, such as the management of communication network topologies. To support rapid prototyping for these increasingly complex…
In response to newly found security vulnerabilities, or as part of a moving target defense, a fast and safe control software update scheme for networked control systems is highly desirable. We here develop such a scheme for intelligent…
