Abstract The Taiwan Light Source (TLS) is a third generation of synchrotron light source, and it has been operated since 1993. The TLS control system is a proprietary design. It was performed minor upgrade several times to avoid obsolete of some system components and keep up-to-date during last two decades. The control system of BTS (Booster-to-Storage ring) transport line includes control interfaces of power supplies, screen monitors, vacuum and temperature. The cPCI (CompactPCI) based EPICS IOC (Input Output Controller) has been adopted for renewing TLS BTS control system to replace the existed VME based ILC (Intelligent Local Controller) to be as an easy-to-maintain control environment. Moreover, each TLS control console supports not only the existing control software interfaces, but also the newly developed EPICS graphical user interfaces. Upgraded TLS BTS control system had been successfully commissioning in February 2017. Compare new system with old system, new system provides more functionality, fast response, and highly reliability. The efforts are summarized at this paper.
