For our experiments, we are using two mains frameworks: - MUSCADE, a full Java in-house solution embedded SCADA dedicated to small and compact experiments controlled by PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), only compatible with Windows Operating System (OS) for the server side. - EPICS, a distributed control systems to operate devices such as particle accelerators, large facilities and major telescopes, mostly deployed on Linux OS environments. EPICS frameworks provides several languages for bindings and server interfaces such as C/C++, Python and Java. However, most of the servers also called IOC developed in the community are based on C/C++ and Linux OS System. EPICS also provides extensions developed in Java such as the EPICS Archiver Appliance, Phoebus Control-Studio (GUI), and Display Web Runtime (Web Client). All these tools depend on CAJ (a pure Java implementation Channel Access Library). Today, MUSCADE users use to work under Windows, and they need intuitive tools that provide the same features than MUSCADE. Thus, research and development activities mainly focus on EPICS solution adaptation. It aims to explore further CAJ library, especially on the server side aspect. In order to achieve this goal, several developments have been carried out since 2018.

The cryomodules start to be assembled cavity per cavity in a clean room and must be low pressure pumped, without adding particles and always in a clean room. This is the purpose of the mobile pumping units for particle free beam vacuum. These units are also designed for vacuum automatic procedures, residual gas analysis and can provide conformity reports. Furthermore, a connectable industrial touch panel is added for a mobile operator interface. Only few buttons have to be panel touched by an operator to start automatic procedures in order to get a very high quality vacuum. The embedded control system is PLC based and manages many communications, especially with the spectrometer embedded in the unit. Only one CPU manages all the communications (Profinet, Profibus, TCP-IP ASCII and even Modbus) and sensors or actuators are controlled by four input-output cards. This small-scale control system is innovative because it is versatile, very convenient to use, deploy and maintain. Nine mobile pumping units are operational and continuously used, frequently moved to different locations, controlled locally or remotely and are still reliable. The paper describes the control architecture and functionalities of this small but full of possibilities device.

During this process the cavity field is gradually increased to the nominal parameters enabling the outgassing of the cavity and the elimination of surface defects through electrical arcing. However, this process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring skilled operators to carefully adjust the RF parameters. This proceeding presents the software tools for the development of an automatized EPICS control application with the aim to accelerate and introduce flexibility to the conditioning process. The results from the conditioning process of the ESS Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and the parallel conditioning of Drift-Tube Linac (DTL) tanks will be presented demonstrating the potential to save considerable time and resources in future RF conditioning campaigns.

This scope also includes the Machine Protection System. This system prevents any damage in the accelerator by shutting down the beam in case of detection of risky incidents like interceptive diagnostics in the beam or vacuum or cooling defects. So far, the system has been used successfully up to the MEBT. It will be tested soon for the super conducting Linac consisting of 4 cryomodules and 27 cavities. This Machine Protection System relies on three sets: the MRF timing system that is the messenger of the "shut beam" messages coming from any devices, IOxOS MTCA boards with custom FPGA developments that monitor the Section Beam Current Transmission along the accelerator and a Beam Destination Master that manages the beam destination required. This Destination Master is based on a master PLC. It permanently monitors Siemens PLCs that are in charge of the "slow" detection for fields such as vacuum, cryogenic and cooling system. The paper describes the architecture of this protection system and the exchanges between these three main parts.
