AB  - The COSY (COoler SYncchrotron) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich is a hadron accelerator build in the early 90s, with work started in the late 80s. At this time the whole control system was based on a self-developed real-time operating system for Motorola m68k boards, utilizing, unusual for this time, IP-networks as transport layer. The GUI was completely based on Tcl/Tk. After 25 years of operation, in 2016, it was decided to upgrade the control system to EPICS and the GUI to CS-Studio, in order to e.g. allow a better automatization or automatized archiving of operational parameters. This was done together with Cosylab d.d. bit by bit while the synchrotron was in operation, and because of the complexity is still ongoing. The experiences of the stepwise upgrade process will be presented and a lessons learned will be emphasized.

AB  - In the Jülich High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project Forschungszentrum Jülich is developing a novel High Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source (HiCANS) that is competitive to medium-flux fission-based research reactors or spallation neutron sources. The HBS will include a 70 MeV linear accelerator which delivers a pulsed proton beam with an average current of 100 mA to three target stations. At each target station the average power will be 100 kW generating neutrons for at least six neutron instruments. The concept for the control system has been developed and published in the HBS technical design report. Main building blocks of the control system will be Control System Studio, EPICS and Siemens PLC technology (for vacuum, motion, personnel protection…). The timing system will be based on commercially available components from Micro-Research Finland. The accelerator LLRF will rely on MTCA.4 developments of DESY that are commercially available, too. A small fraction of the control system has already been implemented for the new JULIC neutron platform, which is an HBS target station demonstrator that has been developed at the existing JULIC cyclotron at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
