The configuration and support environment of CNAO’s control system is responsible for managing the repository, configuring the control system, as well as performing non-real time support operations. Applications in this environment interface with the relational repository, remote file systems, as well as lower level control system components. As part of the technological upgrade of the configuration and support environment, CNAO plans to integrate mobile applications into the control system. In order to lay the groundwork for the new generation of applications, new communication interfaces had to be designed. To achieve this, a web services approach was taken, with the objective of standardizing access to these resources. In this paper we describe in detail the update of the communication channels. Additionally, several solutions to challenges encountered, such as access management, logging, and interoperability, are presented.
