TUP001	Monitoring the LHCb Experiment Computing Infrastructure with NAGIOS	96
	E. Bonaccorsi, N. Neufeld CERN, Geneva
	LHCb has a large and complex infrastructure consisting of thousands of servers and embedded computers, hundreds of network devices and a lot of shared infrastructure services such as shared storage, login and time services, databases and many more. All operationallly critical aspects are integrated into the standard Experiment Control System based on PVSSII. This enables non-expert operators to do first-line reactions. At the lower level and in particular for monitoring the infrastructure the Control System itself depends on a secondary infrastructure based on the industry standard NAGIOS has been put in place. We present the design and implementation of the fabric management based on NAGIOS. Care has been taken to complement rather than duplicate functionality available in the Experiment Control System.
TUP002	Software Management in the LHCb Online System	99
	N. Neufeld, E. Bonaccorsi, L. Brarda, J. Closier, G. Moine CERN, Geneva H. Degaudenzi EPFL, Lausanne
	LHCb has a large online IT infrastructure with thousands of servers and embedded systems, network routers and switches, databases and storage appliances. These systems run a large number of different applications on various operating systems. The dominant operating systems are Linux and MS-Windows. This large heterogenous environment, operated by a small number of administrators, requires that new software or updates can be pushed quickly, reliably and as automated as possible. We present here the general design of LHCb's software management along with the main tools: LinuxFC / Quattor and Microsoft SMS, how they have been adapted and integrated and discuss experiences and problems.

TUP003	Consummation of an Observable Network System	102
	T. Ohata, M. I. Ishii, T. Sakamoto, T. Sugimoto JASRI/SPring-8, Hyogo-ken
	Recent network system becomes more complex and larger because of virtual LAN and other virtualization technologies. Proliferation of a variety of network switches and routers makes a network system gigantic; hence, management of the misty network faces problems. This is the largest factor that deteriorates stable operation of a network system that should be robust and reliable. One of the promising solutions to keep a network system simple and understandable is introduction of the monitor tools that makes a network system visual and observable. We introduced the sFlow technology in addition to the traditional SNMP-based network node management (NNM) system. We could take statuses of network nodes by NNM such as hardware failure, and also we could grasp long perspective of network traffic at one view by the sFlow. In addition, an integrated log management system was introduced to collect all events on the whole network system. As a result, we could detect a trouble outbreak in real time even if a trouble occurred on the end point of the network, and could solve the problem promptly. We describe a way to achieve an observable network system to maintain stable network operation.
TUP004	SESAME Computing and Network Infrastructure	1
	A. Al-Adwan, S. A. Matalgah SESAME, Allan
	SESAME is a third generation light source being built in Jordan with member countries from the Middle East. Obviously, such a facility requires state of the art computing and network infrastructure which is supposed to serve with high availability and efficiency for the life cycle of the facility,thus, having flexibility, scalability and upgradability was among the main requirements. The process of collecting requirements, working with industry to meet these requirements by putting specification and designs, and finally installing, configuring and operating all the equipment has been completed successfully. The infrastructure is using the latest technologies and novel concepts in computing and networking hardware, virtualization at the network level, virtualization at the servers and services level and lastly, automating systems management. This paper reports the progress that has been made to build, install, and operate SESAME computing and network infrastructure.
TUP005	Preliminary Planning of Taiwan Photon Source Control Network	105
	Y.-T. Chang, J. Chen, Y. K. Chen, Y.-S. Cheng, K. T. Hsu, S. Y. Hsu, K. H. Hu, C. H. Kuo NSRRC, Hsinchu
	The future Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) control network is used for the accelerator system control and it is one of the most important infrastructures for the control system which is based upon the EPICS toolkit framework. The TPS network is built to be a modern, reliable, flexible and secure environment between public and private Ethernet with various network control and monitor technique. These include of firewall, SNMP, QOS, VPN, etc. Network tunneling technique will be applied in the remote access, out of TPS especially. The Ethernet will be intensively used as field bus also, topology of the field bus is also considered. This paper will describe the preliminary planning and conceptual design for the TPS control system network. We also discuss the system architecture in this conference that consists of cabling topology, redundancy and maintainability.

TUP006	Integration of Computers and Terminals by introduction of the Virtualization Technology and Thin Client in SPring-8	108
	M. Kodera, M. Hanada, K. Mayama, T. Shimizu, S. Yokota JASRI/SPring-8, Hyogo-ken
	Funding: 　 We applied the virtualization technology to the server computers to form a high-available redundant server system. At the same time, we replaced general purpose PC computers by thin client terminals. The introduction of these technologies reduced the number of computers substantially and gave an opportunity for us to achieve the high-available computing systems with less management cost. To ensure high-availability, the server computer has to be built by using reliable components with redundant architecture instead of reducing the number. The application processing performance of the client OS on the host OS was greater than or equal to that of measured by a stand-alone server. The combination of the recent multi-core architecture server and Xen OS showed good performance as a result of appropriately allocating system resources to Xen OS. The thin client system is useful to integrate widely scattered terminals in the site to small number of systems, which ease maintenance effort a lot. The integrated virtual-machine system and thin client system use a network attached storage (NAS) system that runs under the redundant configuration.

TUP007	Control System Network Architecture at NSLS-II	1
	R. Petkus BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by employees of Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U. S. Department of Energy. A robust network providing performance, fault-tolerance, scalability, and security is paramount to the success of the NSLS-II (National Synchrotron Light Source II). More than a mere collection of switches strung together behind a firewall, the network is an integrated system that needs to be adaptive, agile and transparent. This work will describe the ongoing work shaping the architecture of the control system network. Logical and physical design are discussed within the scope of hardware selection, bandwidth requirements, remote access, and traffic simulation of the channel access protocol, all with an emphasis on achieving high-performance and redundancy while providing protection from rogue devices, security scans, and other intrusive elements. Packet capture and analysis for troubleshooting and design aid using sFlow, tcpdump, and snort are examined as well as a survey of both candidate and complimentary monitoring systems.
TUP008	Development of High Resolution Large Display for SPring-8 Central Control Room	111
	T. Hamano, R. Fujihara, A. Yamashita JASRI/SPring-8, Hyogo-ken
	We developed a large size high resolution display wall for SPring-8 central control room. The display wall consists of twenty-four inexpensive LCD displays that are controlled by personal computers. A PC-cluster consists of six personal computers interconnected by Ethernet drives twenty four 20.1-inch(1600 x 1200pixel) LCD displays. Those displays are arranged into 8x3 segment to achieve 46 million pixels(12800 x 3600pixel) resolution. A software XDMX* handles 24 displays as one X-Window server. This paper describes construction, configuration and testing of the high resolution display wall. *XDMX:Xdmx(Distributed Multihead X) is multi-head support software for some attached displays to personal computers.

TUP009	Network Impact of Small and Ubiquitous Intelligent Devices	1
	R. Petkus BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by employees of Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U. S. Department of Energy. As Ethernet connections become ubiquitous and intelligent devices proliferate, it is necessary to consider its impact on client systems and network performance. When large numbers of I/O were merged in each network node, optimizing the use of the TCP/IP packets was possible. When each I/O or small numbers of I/O become autonomous network nodes, the packet size is necessarily smaller and the TCP/IP header becomes a larger portion of the packet. As more nodes sending small packets communicate in synchronous environment, the risk of collisions and degraded performance is elevated. When clients connect to this legion of server devices, there is a surge in the number of sockets and file descriptors that need to be opened, maintained, and serviced. This work will examine the behavior of the Linux display server in the described environment, assess risk, and provide hardware and software configuration options to improve performance.
TUP010	CSS - We didn't Invent It, We Made It Better.	114
	J. D. Purcell, D. J. Armstrong, K.-U. Kasemir ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee X. H. Chen ORNL RAD, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U. S. Department of Energy The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Project is continuing on its path towards high reliability. To help ensure that this happens, the SNS Controls Group has developed many new applications for use with Control System Studio (CSS). These applications are different in functionality and somewhat in implementation. The ELog integration, PACE, Alarm System GUI, and Data Browser updates are some of the applications that are generic in nature and designed to be implemented regardless of the institution. The PV Utility, Fields Viewer, and Rack Viewer were designed specifically for use at SNS but allow for additions and use elsewhere. The use of CSS provides a common interface to the users. CSS also provides developers with the ability to build their applications and use the various CSS-data types. End users benefit because the use of the CSS-data types provides a connection between the different applications at run-time. This paper describes the recent applications that have been developed at SNS and discusses plans for the future.
TUP011	Software for Supervisory Control of the Trim Coil Power Supplies of the Kolkata Superconducting Cyclotron	1
	B. Sarkar, S. Bandyopadhyay, C. Datta, D. Sarkar DAE/VECC, Calcutta
	The K-500 Superconducting Cyclotron at Kolkata has 18 trim coils. Each of these coils is energized to a different level using a current-regulated precision power supply to produce the desired magnetic field profile for proper beam dynamics. Supervisory software, with elaborate GUI, has been developed for remote operation and monitoring of the power supplies. It has also been interfaced with four current-setting knobs on the control console to provide the operators with a facility of "analog tuning" in a digital setup. Each of these knobs may be assigned to a power supply on-the-fly and the setting of the power supply changed by turning it. Provision also exists to invert the polarity of a power supply using GUI. The software can be operated in two modes: one, in which, the power supplies are operated independently; and the other, in which, as many as three power supplies may be grouped together, to bring about equal changes in current settings of the grouped power supplies simultaneously using keyboard-mouse combination and/or a knob. The power supplies, having RS-485 interface, are operated and monitored over the control network using Ethernet-to-Serial (RS-485) data converter.
TUP012	XAL Adoption Experience at LCLS	117
	P. Chu, A. Chan, S. Chevtsov, D. Fairley, E. Grunhaus, R. H. Iverson, P. Krejcik, G. R. White, J. Wu, S. Zelazny SLAC, Menlo Park, California Q. Gan IHEP Beijing, Beijing
	Funding: Work supported in part by the DOE Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. This work was performed in support of the LCLS project at SLAC. XAL is a high level accelerator application framework originally developed by the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The XAL framework provides generic hierarchical view for an accelerator as well as many utility tools. In XAL, a built-in physics model calculates either single particle or envelope tracking for physics parameters. Modifications to the original XAL model are necessary for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Work was done to manipulate MAD deck output within a database in support of the XAL configuration and model. The XAL graphical user interface has been replaced by a SLAC specific design. New applications based on the framework are also discussed.
TUP013	On-change Publishing of Database Resident Control System Data	120
	K. Kostro, R. Billen, C. Roderick CERN, Geneva
	The CERN accelerator control system is largely data driven, based on a distributed Oracle database architecture. Many application programs depend on the latest values of key pieces of information such as beam mode and accelerator mode. Rather than taking the non-scalable approach of polling the database for the latest values, the CERN control system addresses this requirement by making use of the Oracle Advanced Queuing - a Java Messaging Service (JMS) implementation - to publish data changes throughout the control system via the CERN Controls Middleware (CMW). This paper will describe the architecture of the system, the implementation choices and the experience so far.

TUP015	A Framework for Authentication and Authorization in Plug-in-Based Control System Software	123
	J. Rathlev University of Hamburg, Hamburg M. R. Clausen, J. Hatje, H. R. Rickens DESY, Hamburg
	Preventing unauthorized use is a concern for many software systems, including control system software. The authorization mechanism used by a system should be pluggable, so that the software is not tied to a specific infrastructure. For the Control System Studio (CSS), we have developed a generic authorization framework which can be used by applications built on top of CSS to authorize user actions. For example, the framework provides support for the creation of menu items or graphical display elements that are automatically enabled and disabled based on the user's permissions. The framework is implemented in plug-ins which can be exchanged to interact with different infrastructures. Currently available implementations use standard Java authentication and authorization techniques to integrate with Kerberos and LDAP systems.

TUP017	Managing Alarms and (Log)Messages - the CSS Way	125
	M. R. Clausen, J. Hatje, G. Liu, M. Moeller, H. R. Rickens, B. Schoeneburg DESY, Hamburg
	The management of alarms and log messages is in many cases still handled by different applications even though they have a lot in common. Focusing on the common aspect that all of them can be handled as messages allows a generic approach for all of them. The Java Message Service is a specification by Sun which provides an ideal basis to store and forward any kind of messages throughout a control system. Several independent messages sources can generate JMS messages which get sent to JMS servers. Client applications like operator panels as well as message filters or a persistent store (e.g. in Oracle) can register on the JMS server to receive any incoming message. This paper will describe the whole data chain from EPICS front end controllers, system log messages or other control systems through central JMS servers to client applications, persistent stores and an elaborate alarm management system based on the experience during the last two years of operation.

TUP019	Diagnostic and Monitoring CERN Accelerator Controls Infrastructure : The DIAMON Project - First Deployment in Operation	128
	M. Buttner, P. Charrue, J. Lauener, M. Sobczak CERN, Geneva
	The CERN accelerator controls infrastructure spans over several machines and several thousands of devices are used to collect and transmit piece of control data. Each of these remote devices might fail and therefore prevent correct operation. A complete diagnostic and monitoring infrastructure has been developed in order to provide Operation crews with complete and easy to use graphical interface presenting the state of the controls system. Simple agents running in each surveyed item periodically report monitoring information to a central server. Graphical JAVA clients in the operation centers subscribe to this monitoring data and display a view of the current state of the machines. Mouse actions from these clients allows for diagnostic commands to be sent to the agent to get additional details or to repair a faulty situation. This presentation will describe the overall architecture of DIAMON, present the different agents running in the controls system and a few views of the graphical clients. The outcome of the first months in operation of the DIAMON tools will also be presented. Finally, the future plans will be exposed.

TUP020	Role Based Access Control in the LHC : The RBAC Project - First Deployment in LHC Operation	1
	P. Charrue, W. Sliwinski, M. Sobczak, I. Yastrebov CERN, Geneva S. R. Gysin, E. S.M. McCrory, A. D. Petrov Fermilab, Batavia
	Operating the LHC, its high energy stored in the magnets and the multitude of devices settings demand a strict control on who can do what. A Role Based Access infrastructure has been designed and deployed for the LHC. A simple identification based on username/password is translated into an operational role by the RBAC server and this role is then transmitted and checked on the device level to grant or deny access. The RBAC infrastructure has been commissioned in the summer 2008 and used in operation for the first time for the first LHC beams. This presentation will describe the RBAC architecture, its technical choices and its operational deployment. The outcome of the first deployment in LHC operation will be presented, together with the future plans.
TUP021	The LHC Post Mortem Analysis Framework	131
	M. Zerlauth, O. O. Andreassen, V. Baggiolini, A. Castaneda, R. Gorbonosov, D. Khasbulatov, H. Reymond, A. Rijllart, I. Romera Ramirez, N. Trofimov CERN, Geneva
	The LHC with its unprecedented complexity and criticality of beam operation will need thorough analysis of data taken from systems such as power converters, interlocks and beam instrumentation during events like magnet quenches and beam loss. The causes of beam aborts or in the worst case equipment damage have to be revealed to improve operational procedures and protection systems. The correct functioning of the protection systems with their required redundancy has to be verified after each such event. Post mortem analysis software for the control room has been prepared with automated analysis packages in view of the large number of systems and data volume. This paper recalls the requirements for the LHC Beam Post Mortem System and the necessity for highly reliable Post Mortem Data collection mechanisms. It describes in detail the redundant architecture for data collection as well as the chosen implementation of a multi-level analysis framework, allowing for automated analysis and qualification of a beam dump event based on expert provided analysis modules. It concludes with an example of the data taken during first beam tests in September 2008 with a first version of the system.

TUP022	Alarms Philosophy	1
	K. S. White, K.-U. Kasemir ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U. S. Department of Energy An effective alarm system consists of a mechanism to monitor control points and generate alarm notifications, tools for operators to view, hear, acknowledge and handle alarms and a good configuration. Despite the availability of numerous fully featured tools, accelerator alarm systems continue to be disappointing to operations, frequently to the point of alarms being permanently silenced or totally ignored. This is often due to configurations that produce an excessive number of alarms or fail to communicate the required operator response. Most accelerator controls systems do a good job of monitoring specified points and generating notifications when parameters exceed predefined limits. In some cases, improved tools can help, but more often, poor configuration is the root cause of ineffective alarm systems. A SNS, we have invested considerable effort in generating appropriate configurations using a rigorous set of rules based on best practices in the industrial process controls community. This paper will discuss our alarm configuration philosophy and operator response to our new system.

TUP023	Multi-Device Knob Utility for LCLS at SLAC	134
	S. Zelazny, S. Chevtsov, P. Chu, D. Fairley, P. Krejcik, D. Rogind, H. Smith, G. R. White, G. Yocky SLAC, Menlo Park, California
	Funding: Work supported by the U. S. Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC02-76SF00515. At SLAC (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) the CD (Controls Department) is developing a new Multi-Device Knob Utility based on the EPICS * (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) toolkit for controlling more or more PVs (Process Variables) in unison, or simultaneously, from a physical knob located in the control room, or from various software tools such as EDM (EPICS Extensible Display Manager) or a Swing slider in Java. A group of devices are hooked up to a knob, then the value written to the devices is a simple function of the value of the knob. This is used, most commonly, to create a bump in the electron beam for LCLS (Linac Coherent Light Source). Control system variables typically controlled are magnetic fields, phases, and timing offsets. This paper describes the technologies used to implement this utility. * http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics

TUP024	Generation of Simple, Type-Safe Messages for Inter-Task Communications	137
	R. Neswold, C. King Fermilab, Batavia
	Messages exchanged between ACNET tasks have been, traditionally, C structures defined using a certain "endianness" and packed with a specific alignment. This is less than ideal since every new implementation experiences the same error-prone development cycle to get the layout correct and there are no guarantees the data is validated by the receiver. We present a utility, inspired by Google's Protocol Buffers, which generates the source code that marshals and unmarshals messages. The utility generates C++ and Java source, with more target languages planned. Messages are represented and manipulated using the host language's native data types. The generated module guarantees the received message contains the required fields and is of the correct type.

TUP025	Beam-Size Measurement System at the SAGA-LS Storage Ring	140
	Y. Takabayashi, Y. Iwasaki, T. Kaneyasu, S. Koda SAGA, Tosu
	The SAGA Light Source (SAGA-LS) accelerator consists of 260-MeV injector linac and 1.4-GeV storage ring, and it started a user-mode operation in 2006. In order to measure the size of the stored electron beam, we adopted a synchrotron radiation interferometer, which was invented at KEK-PF about fifteen years ago. In this method, the beam size can be obtained from the contrast (visibility) of interferogram of the synchrotron (visible) light passed through a double slit. Our measurement system consists of a double slit, achromatic lens, ND filter, magnification lens, polarization filter, band-pass filter, and CCD camera. The image of the interferogram was acquired through a frame grabber board in a Windows PC (server). The software was developed on LabVIEW. The interferogram was fitted to a theoretical equation and then the visibility was extracted. The beam size obtained is displayed on a console PC (client) in the control room every 1 s. The client-server system employs the ActiveX CA protocol. This measurement system is useful for the diagnosis of the beam status and the control of the betatron coupling.
TUP026	Beam Measuremet System for VEPP-2000	143
	Yu. A. Rogovsky, E. A. Bekhtenev, D. E. Berkaev, A. N. Kyrpotin, I. Nesterenko BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk
	Funding: The Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, SB RAN This paper describes several beam instruments for VEPP-2000 complex. These beam instruments include: a secondary emission monitors and a image current monitors to measure beam position and tuning beam transport, installed into injection channels; a tuning measurement sys-tem to measure the beam tune; a DCCT measurement system to measure the beam DC current and beam life; a closed orbit measurement system and a transverse beam profile measurement system includes several button-type electromagnetic beam position monitors (BPM), optics, acquisition tools and high resolution CCD cameras distributed around the storage ring to measure the beam profile and its position. Some applications of these measurement systems and their measurement results are presented.

	V. Sirotenko, J. F. Bartlett, D. G. Savage Fermilab, Batavia
	The D0 experiment at Fermilab continues to take data from proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. The sophisticated data acquisition, control, and monitoring software ensures high data-taking efficiency. To monitor all vital software components of these systems a special application, the Process Watcher, has been developed. It constantly checks the health of the running processes and immediately informs shifters in the control room about any arising problems.

TUP029	KSTAR Widget Toolkit Using Qt Library for the EPICS Based Control System	146
	S. Baek, M. Kwon, S. Lee, H. K. Na, M. K. Park NFRI, Daejon
	Funding: This work was supported by the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The KSTAR Widget Toolkit (KWT) was developed as a development toolkit of CA client application for the KSTAR commissioning. The KWT is based on Qt library and includes channel access interface to communicate with EPICS. In order to enhance development speed and increase aesthetic quality of application, 16 plug-in widgets were developed to enable for developers to create new panel using drag and drop method. Some of them use QWT as a plotting library and some widgets display alarm status with a specified color according to the EPICS alarm convention. The KWT has cross-platform development environment and feasibility of extending new widgets using Qt plug-in API with plenty of documents and tutorials. Around 110 panels and several applications such as multi-channel plotting tool, process variable searching tool, and logbook application were developed through the KWT and they proved functionality of the KWT being used for the integrated control and machine control during the KSTAR commissioning. The KWT is applicable to fast and easy development of operator interfaces and applications for the EPICS based control system.

TUP031	System of Power Supply Ripples Measurement for VEPP-2000 Collider	152
	D. E. Berkaev, O. V. Belikov, V. R. Kozak, A. S. Medvedko, P. Yu. Shatunov BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk
	VEPP-2000 collider magnet system consists from about 200 low-current corrections of magnetic fields which powered from independent power sources. During long-term operation of collider power sources ageing occurs. This ageing reveals in output current pulsation increasing with average statistical parameters maintaining. Standard power sources automation system does not allow discovering such malfunctions which may affect on collider operation stability. For the aims of discovering the pulsation special automation system was worked out. The system in oscillographic regime gets measurements of all channels of power sources one by one and carrying out spectral analysis determines malfunctions automatically. The paper describes technique and measurements results in details.
TUP032	Beam Measurement System of VEPP-2000 Injection Channels	155
	D. E. Berkaev, E. V. Bykov, V. P. Cherepanov, V. R. Kozak, I. A. Ostanin, V. V. Repkov BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk
	The paper presents single-flight beam diagnostic system for VEPP-2000 injection channels. The system includes two types of beam position monitors: secondary emission monitor type and image current monitor type. Tuning of the system, calibration of monitors, hardware software of the diagnostic system are described. Main goal of the beam diagnostic system is tuning lossless beam transport. To solving such problem one need to tune up as guide fields as focusing fields of transportation channels. Thirst task ' trajectory correction ' is solving with response matrix inversion with SVD method. Second task ' optic function reconstruction ' is solving with help of multidimensional fitting of channel magnet structure parameters with minimization mean-square modeled response matrix from measured one. The paper presents results of practical methods for automated beam transfer and optic functions tuning for injection channels of VEPP-2000 complex.
TUP033	The Virtual UNICOS Process Expert: Integration of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Industrial Control Systems	158
	I. Vilches Calvo, R. Barillere, G. Thomas CERN, Geneva
	UNICOS is a CERN framework which was developed to produce control applications. It provides operators with ways to interact with all items of the process from the most simple (e.g. I/O channels) to the most abstract object (e.g. a sub part of the plant). Support for fine grained operations is essential during commissioning and for abnormal situation recovery. The Virtual UNICOS Process Expert project aims at providing operators with means to handle difficult cases for which the intervention of process experts is usually required. The main idea of the project is to use the openness of the UNICOS-based applications to integrate tools (e.g. Artificial Intelligence tools) that will act as process experts to analyze complex situations, to propose and to execute smooth recovery procedures. The paper focuses on the first version of the software suite which was developed for the LHC Experiments Gas Control Systems (GCS) and the problems operators are faced with. Then the focus moves to the description of the tools and their integration in the UNICOS architecture. Finally, it describes the benefits of the selected approach and ends up with hints about future evolutions.

TUP034	New ACOP Beans and TINE General Purpose Diagnostic Applications	161
	P. Duval, M. Lomperski DESY, Hamburg J. Bobnar, I. Kriznar, T. Kusterle Cosylab, Ljubljana S. Weisse DESY Zeuthen, Zeuthen
	One of the strengths of the TINE* control system is the ability to easily make 'simple-client' and 'rich-client' applications. All applications are based on an extensive Java graphics library ACOP*, which provides a vast set of Java Beans for presenting and setting the control system values, such as Slider, Wheelswitch, Button etc. Using any of the standard Rapid Application Development Tools the operators can easily design their own 'simple-client' applications, which are now only a few mouse clicks away. In addition, there are also a large number of 'rich-client', general purpose applications, which offer extensive interactions with the standard TINE systems, such as archiv, alarm, and post-mortem system, as well as scope trace, multi-channel and video analysis, FEC statistics, and general configuration management. Available for many years, these applications have recently been implemented as Java applications using the ACOP beans. They have been iteratively improved and refined after many months of being used by the operators and other users. We offer here a description of these applications as well as the description of the newest ACOP beans available in the ACOP library. http://tine.desy.de ** http://cosylib.cosylab.com/pub/acop/site
TUP035	JDDD in Action	164
	E. Sombrowski, P. Gessler, A. Petrosyan, K. Rehlich DESY, Hamburg J. M. Meyer ESRF, Grenoble
	During the last two years the storage ring PETRA at DESY has been widely rebuild (now called PETRA III), to become soon one of the most brilliant X-ray sources worldwide. The vacuum controls of this third generation light source have been implemented using DOOCS and TINE on the hardware level and jddd (Java DOOCS Data Display) on the GUI layer. jddd is a graphical editor for designing and running control system applications. It allows a simple creation of complex control panels with a rich set of ready-made components/widgets. The ongoing commissioning of PETRA III proved that jddd fits the requirements of good control applications in terms of stability, reliability and performance. Currently 4 different control system interfaces are implemented in jddd: DOOCS, TINE, TANGO and EPICS. Even mixing values of these control systems can be done, allowing an interoperability between the different worlds. That makes jddd interesting not only for DESY but also for other institutes. jddd is available as free software under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is currently evaluated by various institutes like ESRF, PSI, Soleil, Trieste (using TANGO) and PSI, ITER, Cornell (using EPICS).
TUP036	Application Software for the BSP-100 Beam Position Monitor at the APS	167
	H. Shang, G. Decker, L. Emery, W. E. Norum, R. Soliday ANL, Argonne
	Funding: Work supported by U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. The BSP-100 beam position monitor (BPM) was commissioned and installed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in a fraction of the ring as an upgrade to the present turn-by-turn BPMs. Keeping the same rf front end of the present BPMs, the BSP-100 BPM adds a high-speed analog-to-digital converter and uses a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to perform the signal processing. The main advantage of the new system is a much better signal-to-noise ratio as all the bunches in the stored beam can now be (selectively) sampled each turn. The implementation requires a much more complex timing control. We report on the high-level software that controls, saves, restores, and compares the timing of the BSP-100 BPM. This software uses Tcl/Tk for the graphical user interface, the SDDS toolkit for data processing, and SDDS-EPICS compliant tools for saving and restoring.

TUP037	The FERMI@Elettra Online Modeling Toolkit	170
	C. Scafuri ELETTRA, Basovizza
	FERMI@Elettra is a new 4th generation synchrotron radiation source currently under construction at the Elettra laboratory, and it is based on a single-pass free electron laser. The toolkit is a rapid application development environment based on Matlab and on the Elegant and Litrack simulation codes. Its purpose is to provide machine physicists and operators with tools for estimating and plotting the main beam parameters of the running accelerator, calculating new settings and corrections, and eventually setting or updating the machine parameters with new calculated values. The toolkit consists of a set of programs and libraries which provide a bridge between the accelerator control system, based on Tango, and the simulation codes. The toolkit also provides the means to perform all the conversions from machine parameters and variables (such as a current circulating in a magnet) to beam dynamics variables (the magnetic field strength, in the example) and vice-versa. The conversion is performed by a set of virtual Tango devices that implement an online magnet model; these devices contain all the needed calibration tables and the logic to read and set the appropriate power supply.
TUP038	CPP/CXML - a Host-Based Sequencer for EPICS	173
	P. A. Gurd, R. Keitel TRIUMF, Vancouver
	The EPICS based control system of the ISAC Radioactive Beam Facility uses cppe, a host based sequencer. Cppe was adapted from a previous application and uses its own simple sequencing language. This paper describes CPPerl/CXML, a replacement for cppe, which was implemented as a Perl module on top of the EPIC CA Perl module. CPPerl/CXML retains important features of cppe, such as process variable declarations, connection checks and cleanup on abort. In addition it leverages the full capabilities of the Perl language and incorporates a state machine processor. Sequences can be executed either in Perl using the Perl procedural API or by defining a state machine using XML.

TUP039	Emittance Measurement Wizard	1
	A. Shapovalov MEPhI, Moscow
	The main objective of the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) is the production of electron beams with minimum transverse emittance at 1 nC bunch charge. PITZ includes a photo cathode RF gun, solenoids for compensation of the space charge induced emittance growth and a booster cavity. In order to study the emittance evolution along the beam line, three Emittance Measurement Systems (EMSY's) were installed downstream of the booster cavity. The emittance is measured using the so called single slit scan technique. The Emittance Measurement Wizard (EMWiz) is a tightly integrated yet user-friendly software application in order to support, ease and speed-up the workflow necessary to obtain, in the long end, the calculated emittance. After user preparation, it provides automatic procedures to perform miscellaneous measurements in sequence in order to obtain intermediate as well as final results in a deterministic way. As a fundament to the application the TINE Video System at PITZ exemplary provides 2-dimensional beam spot image data and mechanisms to control live image acquisition.
TUP042	Weak Beam Diagnostics Utility for ATLAS-CARIBU	176
	M. A. Power, F. H. Munson, R. C. Pardo, G. P. Zinkann ANL, Argonne
	Funding: This work was supported by the U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. The CAlifornium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) for the ATLAS linear accelerator requires the transport of very low intensity ion beams through the accelerator. Weak beam diagnostic stations at several strategic locations throughout the accelerator will be installed to duplicate beam position as measured with a guide beam. An ANL designed Beam Profile Monitoring Device will use secondary electrons into a multichannel plate MCP, onto a phosphor screen, and then into a CCD image. A video capture program to enable averaging and integration of weaker beam signals from the video devices is being developed using ITT Visual Information Systems IDL software on a Linux based PC. The software will process the image from the CCD camera and average the frames together to produce a viewable image of the beam spot. This will allow the operator to adjust the beam and potentially match the live image and averaged images to previously saved images. The software will also allow the selection of a particular diagnostic location to view and control from a single interface.

TUP043	Recent Changes in the 500 MeV Cyclotron's Central Control System to Reduce Beam Downtime and Beam On/Off Transitions	179
	J. J. Pon, E. Klassen, K. S. Lee, M. Mouat, M. Trinczek, P. J. Yogendran TRIUMF, Vancouver
	Recently at TRIUMF there has been an effort to reduce the downtime of scheduled beam and to reduce the number of beam on/beam off transitions on the radioactive ion beam (RIB) targets. In this pursuit, the 500 MeV cyclotron's Controls Group identified and proposed certain areas of improvement. Working with the Beam Delivery and Operations Groups improvements have been developed and now run in production mode. This paper will detail the introduction of three software measures that resulted in beam delivery enhancements. Specifically, 1) a more stable beam current, 2) a more centered beam, and 3) a new concept called "soft trips". Together, these measures reduce the number of beam trips, shorten beam recovery times, reduce thermal shocks on the RIB target, and simplify accelerator operation.

	K. S. Lee, E. Klassen, R. E. Laxdal, M. Mouat, W. R. Rawnsley, M. Trinczek TRIUMF, Vancouver
	Modelling of the radioactive ion beam (RIB) targets at TRIUMF has suggested that rotating the high energy proton beam in a circle on the face of the target may provide a greater source of radioactive ions than a static incident beam. To explore this idea a system has been configured to allow the beam of protons in the primary beamline to be steered in a circle and to permit various parameters to be changed. A description of the system and initial experience in operating the rotating beam are included.

	The TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) is newly proposed the 3 GeV synchrotron light source project. The control system of TPS is based upon EPICS framework. Waveform acquisition supports are essential for the commissioning and operation. The EPICS IOCs, scope IOCs, digitizers and oscilloscopes can support to acquire waveform through EPICS channel access. The EDM is used to implement the operation interface. The control environments of TPS provide specific operation EDM pages of waveform acquired from EPICS IOC, digitizers and oscilloscopes with various sampling rate and vertical resolution. The environment is implemented and tested at the Taiwan Light Source (TLS). The efforts will be summaries at this report.

	Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U. S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. This paper describes a new electronic legal record management application developed at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF.) At Jefferson Lab and many other accelerator facilities, there is a permanent record of personnel entering and exiting a secure accelerator beam enclosure during Controlled or other special access conditions. These legal records ' records that may be entered as evidence in a court of law - may also contain entries related to radiological controls, tests, and certification of access control interlock systems. Until recently, the stringent requirements for electronic legal records required by the U. S. government, made it impractical to create an electronic version of the Personnel Safety System (PSS) paper log book. The staff at TJNAF have now designed and implemented a PSS e-log book application and records management program that meets the requirements for electronic records. In order to successfully implement this system, the development included significant effort in database design, user interface, software quality assurance, and records management.

TUP047	The Use of Process and Instrumentation Drawings for Accelerator and Beamline Control Applications at the Canadian Light Source	191
	E. Matias, G. Judkins, M. McKibben, J. Swirsky CLS, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
	In 2001 at the start of the Canadian Light Source Project, the CLS began to adopt the use of Process and Instrumentation Drawings not only for process systems but also for accelerator and beamline optical components. Given existing industry standards have only been formulated for process applications this posed unique challenges. This paper describes the internal standards that were adopted, how they evolved over the past nine years and operation benefits we have been able to achieve through the use of PID drawings. The paper also examines the benefits from using AutoCAD scripts to automate the implementation of PID drawings.

	The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) is the largest radio telescope currently under construction by a world-wide collaboration. The first antennas (the total will be 54 12m antennas and 12 7m antennas) are being commissioned to become part of the interferometer at a high site (5000m) in Chile. The ALMA Software (~ 70% completed) is in daily use and was developed as an end-to-end system including proposal preparation, dynamic scheduling, instrument control, data archiving, automatic and manual data processing, and support for operations. The management lessons learned will be explained. Aspects described will go from requirements analysis to the use of a development framework: ALMA Common Software (ACS) in our case. The process used to provide regular releases will be outlined, including temporary cross-subsystem teams. The importance of integrated regression tests will be stressed, but also the need to validate the system with users. Among the project management tools risk analysis, earned value measures and tracking of requirements completion will be presented. Monitoring progress with reviews and the possible impact on completion dates will also be discussed.

	F. Lucas Rodriguez, I. Atanassov, P. Palazzi, F. Ravotti CERN, Geneva
	The detectors of the TOTEM experiment at the LHC (Roman Pots silicon detectors, CSC & GEM) require the monitoring and control of the usual equipment used in HEP: HV/LV power supplies, VME crates and environmental sensors readout using ELMBs or through the DCU technology. Moreover, while most of the LHC experiments exploit fixed detectors, the TOTEM DCS -Big Brother- includes the control of movable parts (the Roman Pots) to keep the sensors at a specified distance from the beams. The TOTEM DCS differs from those of other LHC experiments in many ways. Engineering and project management follow a structured approach inspired by the ESA ECSS collaborative space standards. Project phasing and planning is done with GDPM on a weekly basis. The collection of functional and technical requirements uses an extension of the ALICE strategy. The Big Brother documentation reside on a dedicated web server, powered by iDOC, a TOTEM DCS technology. The Configuration Management is organized using SubVersioN. Details on the SW development process of the supervisory level (PVSS) will be also given, together with the description of custom automatic scripts which greatly simplify the system configuration.

TUP050	Making Continuous Integration a Reality for Control Systems on a Large Scale Basis	200
	A. Buteau, S. Dupuy, V. H. Hardion, S. Le, M. Ounsy, G. Viguier SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette
	To support and maintain the Control Systems of a Synchrotron Source, complexity can become quickly hardly manageable due to the large number of software components and of different deployed versions. At SOLEIL, it appeared to us very early that a strategic goal was to be able to deploy, everywhere and whenever needed, the same version of software packages . A rigorous development organization and configuration management make possible the production of software packages based on release tags put by developers on each software module. Classical open source continuous integration tools (MAVEN, CONTINUUM) on the Java side, and home made batch scripts on the C++ side, allow to produce packages. The packages are deployed during each Machine shutdown on the almost 20 SOLEIL control systems, via system tools (rsync, …). To make acceptable for people in charge of installations (Accelerators or Beamlines) operation, the continuous software changes rhythm, good communication and tests organization are very important to face with software regressions or local incompatibility. Our conclusion will give feedback of 2 operation years using this "software continuous integration" scheme.

	H. Nakanishi, S. Imazu, Y. Ito, K. Kawahata, M. Kojima, Y. Nagayama, M. Nonomura, M. Ohsuna, S. Sudo NIFS, Gifu
	Funding: This work is performed with the support and under the auspices of the NIFS Collaborative Research Program NIFS09ULHH503. The digital timing system for LHD diagnostics was developed more than ten years ago as a VMEbus module which was operated by VxWorks RTOS. Through the fiber links, it can deliver the master trigger and the 10 MHz base clock which is modulated with the encoded trigger message. It has a simple tree structure from a master modulator to end demodulators whose output signal edges are all aligned to the delivered base clock. As the VME module and VxWorks were very costly to maintain, they have been ported into the new SoC platform, Xilinx Spartan-3E, that has 1.2 M programmable gates and Microblaze cpu which can run uClinux on it. Using its semi-finished commercial module Suzaku-S, the unit cost of a modulator box becomes one-eighth of previous VME one. In addition, it can output 6 delayed triggers, 6 divided clocks with their own (6) gating time, whereas VME provided 6-2-2. The same network communication schemes are completely implemented on uClinux, ported from the RPC source codes running on VxWorks. As such the semi-finished SoC platform is very useful to homemade an intelligent digitizer unit, another fast latching scaler module is now designed to be made for LHD.

TUP058	A Pulse-Pattern Generator Using LabVIEW FPGA	215
	D. H. Beck, H. Brand, H. Hahn, F. Herfurth, S. Koszudowski GSI, Darmstadt G. Marx, L. Schweikhard, F. Ziegler Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität, Greifswald
	A pulse-pattern generator produces bit patterns at user specified times. It can be used to control the timing of experimental procedures - each bit is used as a trigger line for external devices like a switch-able power supply. The development was initiated by the need of ion trap facilities like SHIPTRAP and HITRAP at GSI, ISOLTRAP at CERN or ClusterTrap at the University of Greifswald, Germany. Each of those facilities has about three ion traps. The manipulation and transfer of ions from one trap to another requires a complex sequence of a few seconds duration with about 30 steps with a precision of 100 ns. The sequence must be synchronized to external events like the timing structure of an accelerator. As a solution, an FPGA card from National Instruments is used. The LabVIEW FPGA module translates the graphical code to VHDL, which is processed further by the tool chain of the FPGA manufacturer Xilinx. The FPGA is clocked with 40MHz, which yields a resolution of 25ns. The user defined bit patterns have a width of 64 bits and eight trigger inputs allow for synchronization with external signals. Presently, this solution is used at six different experiments at four institutes.

	Funding: Work supported by U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. The Advanced Photon Source installed a Transverse Feedback System to correct the instability in the electron beam during single bunch mode. This instability manifests itself when a large amount of current is present in the beam. The only method currently formerly available to correct the instability was through chromaticity correction. The Transverse Feedback System deals with the instability without requiring changes to the ring chromaticity. Initial testing revealed issues with the input and output electronics. This paper will discuss these issues, their resolution and many other enhancements to the FPGA-based system.

	M. Thieme, W. Panschow, S. Rauch, M. Zweig GSI, Darmstadt
	For the FAIR accelerator control system a new single board computer (SBC) is presently under development. The SBC will be the core of the distributed intelligent peripherals and shall be realized as a multi-controller system, consisting of up to three controllers. The main components of the SBC are a powerful FPGA and a highly integrated computer-on-module (COM). FPGA and COM communicate with PCI or PCI express. With use of the COM the performance of the SBC gets flexible and scalable. If needed, the COM can be upgraded. For the communication with the controlled devices several interfaces are foreseen: A parallel bus interface (FAIR-bus), an up to 64 bit wide bidirectional interface and up to four serial high-speed links (>500 Mbit). Three Ethernet interfaces (100/1000 Mbit) are provided for the user interface to the higher control layers and general machine timing system. For diagnostic purposes the SBC holds USB, EIA-232 (RS-232) and JTAG (IEEE 1149.1). For non volatile data a compact flash interface is available.

	We applied the flexible and logic-reconfigurable VME boards to many control systems, which requires fast and real-time control, such as a tag generating system and a pulse motor controller of 60Hz beam shutter. The board has a field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) chip for execution of user logic, which can be implemented in C. IO interfaces of the board are module cards. They can be mounted on the base board with connectors. The board was easily　modified by exchanging the IO modules and reconfiguring FPGA logic. We also upgraded the base board. The new board supports large data transition. The new board has PMC sockets with a PCI bus and a Gigabit Ether port. The same IO module card can also be used on the new board. and the upgraded board are shown in the presentation. The design and implementation of developing-evironment of the user logic of the board are shown with the applications. We also discuss about the design of the upgraded board.

TUP063	Configuration Management for Software and Firmware at PSI Accelerators	227
	T. Korhonen, T. Pal PSI, Villigen
	The increased demand for usage of FPGA's in control systems has fueled a renewed interest in configuration management strategies for software and firmware. The goal is to produce a toolkit to manage firmware source code over time in an environment where the platforms and vendor toolsets rapidly change, with poor compatibility between versions. We describe a generic approach (hardware and software entities) developed for control applications at the PSI accelerators. Core requirements are to reproduce legacy implementations and perform comparisons for applications, as a function of vendor (e.g. Xilinx, MentorGraphics) software/firmware, development platforms and O/S versions. Additionally we require the ability to run several such comparisons concurrently, with a high degree of automation. The feasibility is demonstrated using cost-effective ESX virtual machine technology from VMware to record snapshots of the environments. Perl/XML scripts are used in conjunction with Expect for automated steering of the procedures. Subversion is used for version control and UML (use cases) to document requirements. In future a RDBMS and web interface utility will provide a synoptic overview.

	Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U. S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. We have developed PC 10⁴ single board computer (SBC) based embedded IOCs for our low level control systems. The PC 10⁴ IOCs runs the operating system RTEMS and EPICS. Two types of control system configurations were used in our different applications, PC 10⁴ SBC with commercial I/O cards and PC 10⁴ SBC with custom designed FPGA-based boards. RTEMS was built with CEXP shell to run on the PC 10⁴ SBC. CEXP shell provides the function of dynamic object loading, which is similar to the widely used VxWorks operating system. Standard software configurations were setup for IOC application development to ease the conversion of applications from VME based IOCs to PC 10⁴ IOCs. Many new projects at Jefferson Lab are going to employ PC 10⁴ SBCs as IOCs. Some applications have already been running PC 10⁴ IOCs for accelerator operations. They have been proven to be reliable, easy to configure and low maintenance IOC platforms. The PC 10⁴ - RTEMS IOC provides a free open source Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), low cost, easily installed, flexible, and reliable solution for accelerator control and 12GeV Upgrade projects.

This paper describes the generic embedded system solutions for EPICS based control systems. It presents the hardware and software issues when dealing with embedded systems. It shows a concrete example of the embedded system build on FPGA concept which could be used as a generic solution. It is discussed, at the end, the usage of the EPICS general purpose driver which could be used directly for memory mapped embedded devices under VxWorks or Linux operating systems.

TUP069	Multipurpose LLRF Field Controller for Various Superconducting Cavity Applications	242
	W. Jalmuzna, W. Cichalewski, D. R. Makowski, A. Napieralski TUL-DMCS, Łódź
	Superconducting cavities are widely used as accelerating structure, especially for FEL experiments. Even in a single project, the cavities are used in many different systems. Therefore multiple applications require not only different cavity parameters (such as loaded Q, bandwidth, resonance frequency) but also specific modes of operation (pulsed, CW). The paper presents the implementation of multipurpose LLRF field controller suitable for large span of such systems. The controller is implemented for reconfigurable FPGA chips and can be used with various hardware platforms. Implementation issues are described together with operation experience in such facilities as FLASH.

	J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) is a new accelerator facility to produce MW-class high power proton beams. From the main ring high energy protons are extracted in a slow extracted mode for hadrons experiments. The slow extraction beam is required with as small ripple as possible to prevent pileup events in particle detectors or data acquisition systems. Based on preliminary experiments at HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba) using a prototype signal processing board, we have developed a new signal processing board for the spill feedback control. The circuit board consists of three signal input ports for gate, spill intensity and residual beam intensity in the main ring, three signal output ports for spill control magnets, two DSPs (TMS320C6713) for the analysis of power spectrum and the spill feedback control, dual port memories, FPGAs and a LAN interface for remote control to change feedback parameters. Using this board, digital filtering, phase-shift processing, servo feedback control, real-time calculation of power spectrum density and adaptive control are examined.

TUP071	The Control System for Induction Acceleration in the KEK Digital Accelerator	248
	T. Sano, K. Mochiki Tokyo City University, Tokyo Y. Arakida, T. Iwashita KEK, Ibaraki
	A digital accelerator (DA) is a low energy version of the induction synchrotron which has been demonstrated using the KEK 12 GeV-PS in 2006[1]. In the DA of injector-free, the acceleration and bunch confinement are independently carried out by induction cells, which are 1-to-1 transformers driven by individual switching power supplies. The switching power supply employing high power semiconductor switching devices (MOS-FET) can be operated at an arbitrary repetition rate up to 1 MHz with an output voltage of 2 kV. This characteristic allows us to realize a so-called all-ion accelerator [2] capable of accelerating all species of ion including cluster ions. To comply with specific demands for the induction acceleration in the KEK DA, that is a renovation of the existing KEK 500 MeV Booster synchrotron, a fully digital control system of the KEK DA is under development. It consists of high speed ADCs and FPGA (or DSP) to acquire the profile of beam bunch and process the required gate trigger signal from the profile data. It is crucial to trigger the acceleration system at the desired timing. Outline and R&D works of the control system described. [1] T. Iwashita et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, p054801-4 (2007). [2] T.

TUP072	Reconfigurable Data Acquisition System for Time Resolved Measurements in Multibunch Mode at the SLS	251
	T. Korhonen, B. Kalantari, A. Puzic, C. Quitmann, J. Raabe PSI, Villigen
	A multichannel acquisition scheme handling 500 MHz data rate will be presented. The input signal is generated by a fast photo detector which can resolve the pulsed time structure of the synchrotron. Single or multiple photon detection is done with an ADC operating at 1 Gsps sampling rate. Dedicated timing hardware provides the synchronization with the RF of the storage ring. Custom counting logics is implemented using a fully reconfigurable FPGA. Low and high level device drivers are based on the VME standard and the EPICS toolkit. A processor core embedded in the FPGA controls the ADC settings and all the tasks of data transfer between the single photon counters and the Input/Output Controller. Basic Functionality of the system includes: full mapping of the filling pattern, gating of empty buckets and the camshaft, and distributing of distinct buckets into dedicated counters. The acquisition card provides timing reference outputs for the diagnostics, as well as for synchronization of other electronics. First application of the acquisition system are measurements of magnetization dynamics at the Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope at the SLS with 100 ps time resolution.

	G. Janser PSI, Villigen
	To be able to connect our PSI digital power supplies to Ethernet, and at the same time provide an interface for fast control (like orbit feedback) we have developed the DPC_DC (Digital Power supply Controller Data Concentrator.) Up to eight digital power supplies can be connected to and controlled through one DPC_DC. The circuit fits into a compact aluminum case 10⁶ x 52 x 200 mm. It has the following connectors: 2 RJ45 Ethernet (1 for control access, 1 for local access), 8 optical transmitter / receiver optical fiber (POF) links, 2 RocketIO (SFP) connections for fast control and one optical receiver/ transmitter for trigger functions. It is possible to run embedded LINUX with EPICS on the Virtex XC4VFXFX60 FPGA, with128 MB DDR RAM and 64 MB FLASH. The prototype has been tested with an Ethernet connection between a laptop (LabView ) and the DPC_DC and a digital PS connected to one of the eight channels.

	The Spiral2 facility aims to provide rare ions beams using the ISOL method. It consists of a driver accelerator followed by the rare ion production process coupled with the existing Ganil machine. From the beginning of this year, one ion source followed by the first beam line section has been in test hence implying the first components of the control system. The whole accelerator should be commissioned in spring 2012 and the first exotic beams are planned one year later. Several institutes are collaborating for the control system design and Epics has been chosen as the basic framework. The architecture will rely on Linux PCs and servers, VME VxWorks IOCs and Siemens PLCs; equipment will be addressed either directly or using a Modbus/TCP field bus network. To ease the collaboration, a specific care has been taken concerning the software organisation and management both for the Epics developments and the Java high level applications. Under investigation are the evaluation of the Xal environment, the development of a triggered acquisition system and the design of an environment to generate the Epics databases from a relational database. Also, the first results obtained are presented.

	V. I. Zaitsev, E. V. Grabovsky, A. V. Kartashov, G. M. Oleinik SRC RF TRINITI, Moscow region
	Angara-5 is a high-power facility designed for making research into the field of inertial confinement fusion. The control system structure includes different subsystems meeting technological requirements of the facility. The later important upgrading caused by the equipment aging and wear was executed by replacement of the block-module structure of fast subsystems (Data Acquisition and Synchronization Subsystem) with separate devices (oscilloscopes of Tektronix type and Digital Delay generators). At present, the Data acquisition Subsystem includes 80 channels with samples frequency 1-2 GHz for measurements of high-speed processes. The Timing Subsystem contains 12 channels of the programmed delays in the range from 0 to 2000 s with an accuracy of 1 ns. The devices were incorporated into a subsystem by means of USB and GPIB interfaces. The software is based on the LabView development system and the VISA communication interface software. The remote terminal service exercises control of the subsystems. The present-day hard- and software structures of the control system are considered.

	Funding: This work performed under the auspices of the U. S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the world's largest and most energetic laser experimental system providing a scientific center to study inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and matter at extreme energy densities and pressures. Completed in 2009, NIF is a stadium-sized facility containing a 1.8-MJ, 500-TW 192-beam ultraviolet laser and target chamber. A cryogenic tritium target system and suite of optical, X-ray and nuclear diagnostics will support experiments in a strategy to achieve fusion ignition starting in 2010. Automatic control of NIF is performed by the large-scale Integrated Computer Control System (ICCS), which is implemented by 2 MSLOC of Java and Ada running on 1300 front-end processors and servers. The ICCS framework uses CORBA distribution for interoperation between heterogeneous languages and computers. Laser setup is guided by a physics model and shots are coordinated by data-driven distributed workflow engines. The NIF information system includes operational tools and a peta-scale repository for provisioning experiment results. This talk discusses results achieved and the effort now underway to conduct full-scale operations and prepare for ignition.

TUP079	The ATLAS MDT Control System	263
	R. G.K. Hart, G. Bobbink, H. Boterenbrood NIKHEF, Amsterdam S. Zimmermann Freiburg
	The MUON spectrometer of ATLAS consists of four major parts by which the Muon-Drift-Tube chambers (MDT) are in terms of space and readout-channels the largest. The Detector Control System (DCS) of it can be separated into a CAN field-bus part (temperature readout, magnetic field readout and control of the front-end electronics (FE)) and a non-CAN field-bus part (gas, high- and low-voltage). This article covers only the first part (CAN). For this purpose each MDT-chamber is equipped with a so-called Muon-DCS-Module (MDM), containing a CAN-node. About 1200 chambers are connected divided over roughly 90 CAN-buses, monitored and controlled by a commercial SCADA system (PVSS) running on 10 PC's. The temperature and magnetic field sub-systems are mainly used for off-line analysis and their data is stored at regular intervals into a database. The FE sub-system is used, by means of JTAG, to set the thresholds and trip-levels of the DAQ readout electronics. The sub-systems are incorporated into the overall ATLAS Finite-State-Machine (FSM), which enables it to control it in a general and consistent way. Tools and applications were developed for maintenance and diagnostics.

	The readout system of the alignment system of the barrel part of the MUON spectrometer of ATLAS is described. It contains almost 6000 optical channels, each consisting of a camera, a light source and a lens. Three layers of multiplexing are applied which end up into 8 PC's, each one equipped with a frame-grabber, which grabs the pictures to be analyzed. Analyzed results are stored into a database for off-line corrections of the muon tracks. Controlling the multiplexers and frame-grabber is performed by a dedicated server (Rasdim). The chosen (by CERN) SCADA system is PVSS and is utilized to control the server and enables it to be part of the overall Finite State Machine (FSM) of ATLAS. The communication between the server and PVSS is performed by DIM, a distributed management system, providing a transparent inter-process communication layer. A full cycle to read and analyze all channels takes about 10 minutes.

	To boost up the intensity of the uranium beam accelerated in the RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF), a new 28GHz superconducting ECR ion source was constructed in 2008. The standalone commissioning of the ion source has started in early 2009. In order to control the ion source as a part of the RIBF accelerator complex, we introduced F3RP61-2L as IOCs and integrated them into the existing EPICS-based RIBF control system. F3RP61-2L is a new CPU module running Linux, which functions with the I/O modules of FA-M3 PLC on the PLC-bus. We have confirmed stable operation of EPICS on F3RP61-2L and found that the new IOC makes our control system simpler and easier to maintain. We will report the details of the control system of the new ion source and its integration into the whole RIBF control system.

We will describe the status of the installation and operation of the control systems for the accelerators and beamlines. Hardware status for motion systems, controls and data acquisitions will be given. All software developments are based on the Tango framework, using it, not only as a "traditional control system" but in a more general way as a service-oriented middleware interconnecting SOLEIL's applications. We will show figures and examples of the TANGO software components developed and used. On the supervision layer, SOLEIL uses an industrial SCADA (GlobalScreen) as an integration tool of the JavaBeans components developed with the TANGO ATK graphical framework. Supervision applications are the result of a collaborative work between "pure software developers" and "occasional" supervision applications developers. The work organization, the software architecture and current status at SOLEIL will be given. We will conclude with some statistics about Controls stability and quality after 3 years of operation. *: http://www.synchrotron-soleil.fr/

	Funding: CERN The innermost part of the ATLAS experiment is a pixel detector, built of 1744 individual detector modules. To operate the modules, readout electronics, and other detector components, a complex power supply and control system is necessary. While the hardware is mainly built by units which are specially adapted to the needs of the pixel detector, the control software has to support these special needs, while in parallel it is embedded into the ATLAS wide control system. Core of the pixel detector control is a PVSS based SCADA system in combination with a finite state machine. An overview on the pixel detector hardware and a report on the commissioning of the final control system will be given. We concentrate on the description of the finite state machine and its interaction with several additional protection routines.

	The 132-meter-long Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) undulator line consists of 33 identical undulator segments situated in a co-linear fashion. An EPICS-based turn-key control system has been designed and delivered to the LCLS project by the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The control system is responsible for a myriad of motion and feedback channels for each segment including two linear and five nonlinear motions with micron-level accuracy, numerous absolute position readbacks, and multiple temperature sensors. With the large distance covered in the undulator line tunnel, it was decided to distribute the controls duty to multiple instances of control hardware located at each segment within the tunnel itself. A detailed description of the control system and performance results is reported. *Work at Argonne was supported by the U. S.

	ALICE is one of the four experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN (Geneva, Switzerland). The commissioning of the LHC in 2008 allowed the experiment to record the first particle induced events and is now preparing for the first collisions foreseen autumn 2009. The experiment is composed of 18 sub-detectors each with numerous subsystems that need to be controlled and operated in a safe and efficient way. The Detector Control System (DCS) is the key for this. The DCS system has been used with success during the commissioning of the individual detectors as well as during the cosmic runs and the LHC injection tests that were carried out in 2008. It was proven that through the DSC a complex experiment can be controlled by single operator. This paper describes the architecture of the Detector Control System and the key components that allowed to come to a homogeneous control system. Examples of technical implementations are given. Improvements that have beem implemented, based on a critical review of the first operational experiences are highlighted. It will report on the current status and operational experiences leading up to first physics collisions.

	N. Yamamoto, M. Hosaka, Y. Takashima Nagoya University, Nagoya M. Katoh UVSOR, Okazaki
	A control system for Central Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Facility has been designed. Central Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Facility is a synchrotron light source planed by a local prefectural government, industries, universities, and research institute in the Aichi area of Japan..The synchrotron radiation (SR) facility has been expected as an adaptable facility not only for basic research, but also for engineering and industry-oriented research and development. The facility, consisting of accelerators, beamlines, peripheral equipments and housing, has been designed at the Nagoya University Synchrotron Radiation Research Center. The accelerators consists of a linac, a full energy booster synchrotron and a compact storage ring, which is able to supply hard X-rays from superconducting bending magnets. An important issue on this facility is its tightly restricted budget and, hence, the limited number of staff in the facility. Thus, the control system should be simple, robust and inexpensive. To reply these needs, we have considered to use Ethernet-based data communication systems and a database management system.

	The XFEL facility under construction at SPring-8 requires highly stable RF phase and intensity control for steady X-ray lasing. The RF conditions are very sensitive to facility utilities and environmental conditions such as air temperature, power line voltage, especially to cooling water temperature for accelerating structures. We, therefore, have to monitor them with required sampling rate and resolution from the viewpoint of the accelerator control. In particular, the cooling water for accelerating structure should be controlled seamlessly from the XFEL control system to achieve steady lasing. We designed and constructed a control system for the facility utilities as a part of the XFEL accelerator control with the MADOCA framework. All the signals of the facility utilities are stored into the same database with the XFEL control system, which helps us to investigate the correlations between beam stability and environmental conditions. All the utility equipment is controlled by PLCs connected to VME systems through FL-net. We set up PLC touch panels to support daily management as the local control interface.

	SAGA Light Source (SAGA-LS) is a synchrotron radiation facility consisting of a 255 MeV injector linac and a 1.4 GeV electron storage ring with a circumference of 75.6 m. The SAGA-LS has been stably providing synchrotron light, ranging from VUV to hard x-rays, with users since February 2006. For the control of the SAGA-LS accelerators, a simple PC-LabView based system which uses the EPICS channel access (ActiveX CA) as a communication protocol is utilized. The control system was designed to meet requirements for high reliability, cost-effectiveness and easy maintenance and upgrade. The system consists of off-the-shelf IO devices connected to local server PCs (CA servers), console PCs (CA clients) and Ethernet LAN. Both the server and client applications are developed in LabView because of its easiness for in-house software modification and development along with the machine improvements. Up to now about 2,000 process variables have been employed to control accelerator components such as magnet power supplies, an RF system, vacuum monitors, beam diagnostic systems and insertion devices.

TUP100	The LHCb Silicon Tracker And Its Control System: From Scratch Towards Stable Operation	1
	A. Buechler UZH, Zürich D. Esperante Pereira usc, Santiago de Compostela
	The LHCb Silicon Tracker (ST) at the LHC at CERN is ready for operation. It constitutes a crucial part in tracking the particle trajectories and consists of two silicon micro-strip detectors, the Tracker Turicensis (TT) and the Inner Tracker (IT). The Detector Control System (DCS) is based on the multi-platform PVSS SCADA and has been tested and developed during the commissioning phase. A common software was implemented and developed for both sub-detectors. The DCS has to deal with more than 2000 readout chips and monitors ~1170 environmental parameters. A hierarchical control system based on finite state machines allows distributed control of the detector equipment. An operator is able to centrally control the power supplies, to program the readout electronics and to monitor online the status of all the hardware. For commissioning it is flexible enough to allow for missing hardware at all levels. It features active monitoring of temperatures, humidity and power status and can take automatic actions on warnings or alarms. To guarantee safe operation of the Silicon Tracker a completely independent, redundant, hardware-based system is used for the 'vital' alarms.

	ACS provides the infrastructure for the software of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array and other projects. Using CORBA middleware, ACS supports the development of component-based software, from high-level user interfaces down to the hardware device level. It hides the complexity of CORBA beneath an API that allows the application developer to focus on domain-specific programming. Although ACS, now at release 8, has been used operationally by the APEX radio telescope and at the ALMA Test Facility, the commissioning of ALMA in Chile brings major challenges: new hardware, remote operation and, most important, upscaling from 2 to 60+ antennas. Work now turns to scalability and improving the tools to simplify remote debugging. To further identify potential problems, the University of Eindhoven is formally analysing ACS. Meanwhile, new developments are underway, both to respond to newly identified needs of ALMA, and those of other projects planning to use ACS. Examples include the refactoring of the interface to the CORBA Notify Service, integration with the Data Distribution Service, generation of state machine code from abstract models and of Python binding classes from XML schema.

	The ATLAS experiment is one of the multi-purpose detectors of the LHC. An important role of the Detector Control System (DCS) is played by the Common Infrastructure Control (CIC) which supervises the common services such as rack control, environment monitoring, cooling, ventilation, electricity distribution, gas, magnets, cryogenics, safety systems and LHC parameters. The CIC system is integrated into the DCS back-end, running applications using a commercial SCADA software package, and is designed to allow for further evolution over the lifetime of the experiment. The CIC either reads out the operational parameters of the infrastructure with Embedded Local Monitoring Boards (ELMB) or acquires data of external control systems using a standardized communication protocol, and subsequently processes and archives the data. The status information of the equipment is then structured in a hierarchy of finite state machines to allow for efficient and homogeneous operator control in the experiment control room.

	FERMI@Elettra is a new 4th-generation light source currently under construction at the Elettra laboratory. It is based on a single pass free electron laser consisting in 1.5-GeV normal-conducting linac and two chains of undulators where the photon beams are produced with a seeded laser multistage mechanism. The control system interfaces to and controls all devices and systems of the facility. The hardware architecture has been designed using commercial components and open standards, and a software environment based on Linux and the Tango control system is deployed on all computers. The personnel safety and the equipment protection systems rely on a well established technology based on PLCs. A real time infrastructure based on a dedicated Ethernet network and a real time implementation of Linux provides centralized shot-by-shot data acquisition at the linac repetition rate, as well as synchronized setting of the controlled variables required to implement feedback loops. Special care has been taken to provide a productive environment that will allow development of control room applications both for the commissioning and the operation phases.

TUP106	Status Report of the Measurement Service for the CERN Accelerator Logging	325
	M. Gourber-Pace, G. Kruk, M. Misiowiec CERN, Geneva
	The LHC Logging service is aimed to satisfy the requirement of capturing and storing any relevant accelerator data to track its variation over time. This service is presently operational on the whole CERN accelerator complex, from ion and proton sources to LHC, and has become a critical component of the CERN control systems. The focus is given to the measurement part of this service, which is responsible for the data acquisition and preparation (processing, filtering, concentration) prior to its storage in database and file systems. Incoming data is often processed by a concentration layer, the processes that transform data of multiple devices into single values according to well defined rules and then publish them further on, to the LHC Logging among others. The paper describes the architecture and presents the solutions to the very challenging requirements imposed by the LHC in terms of overall performance and reliability. The efficiency of the data acquisition and filtering as well as the flexible software design are highlighted.
TUP107	Development of a New Control System for the FAIR Accelerator Complex at GSI	328
	R. Baer, U. Krause, V. RW. Schaa, W. Schiebel, M. Thieme GSI, Darmstadt
	The 'Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research' (FAIR) will be realized at the 'GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Ionenforschung GmbH' (Darmstadt, Germany) in the scope of a large international organization. This new accelerator complex will be a significant extension to the existing GSI accelerator chain. It will present unique challenges for the control system which are well beyond the capacity of the present system. A new control system is under development that considers all aspects of the expected functionality to operate the GSI/FAIR machines and integrates the present GSI controls infrastructure. The new control system substantially builds on proven principles and solutions and is based on a strictly modular design with well defined interfaces. Size and organizational structure of the FAIR project with international contributions demand for a high level of standardization and efficient interface management. This report summarizes concepts, architecture, technologies and building blocks of the new system.

	This paper will describe the present state of the conceptual design of the Plasma Control System (PCS) on ITER. The PCS will be integrated into the ITER Control, Data Access and Communication system (CODAC). It uses data from the scenario and sequence algorithms, together with measurements from the diagnostic systems to produce outputs used to setup the necessary conditions for plasma operation, produce plasma, and control the evolution of the all of the plasma parameters that are necessary to operate ITER throughout all phases of the discharge. An overview will be given of what diagnostic input, type of physics algorithms, and actuator outputs the PCS will require to perform its control functions along with the present concept of its integration and interfaces with other CODAC systems such as the scheduling system and the Safety & Interlock systems. The layout of the various PCS subsystems will be presented, including wall conditioning and tritium removal, plasma axisymmetric & non-axisymmetric magnetic control, power and particle flux control to first wall and divertor, plasma kinetic control, non-axisymmetric stability control, and disruption mitigation and off-normal shutdown.
TUP111	The LHCb RICH Detector Control System.	340
	A. Papanestis STFC/RAL, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon
	The efficient operation of the two Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors of the LHCb experiment is essential for hadron identification. This is achieved by the Detector Control System (DCS) through the integration of the control and monitoring functions of the various subsystems. The DCS controls the various power supplies required for the operation of the Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPDs) and related electronics, collects information about the operating environment of the HPDs to ensure safe operation, and monitors the RICH radiators (pressure, temperature, humidity, gas quality). The system is able to inform the operator or take automatic actions when any monitored quantities go outside predefined safe limits. It is fully integrated in the LHCb Experiment Control System (ECS) and can apply different configurations using recipes. The LHCb RICH DCS has been fully commissioned and is ready for the LHC start-up.
