With its more than 40 beamlines, BESSY II offers a multi-faceted suite of experimental opportunities. The facility is over 25 years old and in that time a mixture of very diverse control solutions has evolved. The cyberattack in June 2023 was an opportunity to review the current status and consider alternatives.
Leveraging standard open-source containerization and automation tools, the...
We present the current design and status of the accelerator control system for the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) project at LBNL, USA. Following successful completion of the design, the project is now in production, with simultaneous installation of the system in the new Accumulator Ring (AR) while maintaining operation of the existing ALS. This presentation will detail production...
The two accelerators KARA and FLUTE at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have been using Control System Studio as the main GUI for over ten years. We are now in the transition to Phoebus, also using the opportunity to update internal build, release and panel distribution workflows. This presentation will report on the current status, outlook and future plans.
KOMAC operates a 100 MeV proton linear accelerator comprising a 50-keV injector, a 3-MeV radio frequency quadrupole, a 20-MeV drift tube linac, and a 100-MeV drift linac. To meet the demands of beam users, we have established 10 beamlines: five for 20MeV and five for 100-MeV beams. The proton beam is accelerated to 100 MeV by the linac and then directed to target rooms via the beamlines. The...
A new Fourth Generation Synchrotron Radiation source (4GSR) is scheduled to be constructed in Ochang, South Korea. Serving as a critical facility for large-scale scientific experiments and research, the technical design review of the 4GSR is currently underway and anticipated to be completed by mid-2024. The control system for the 4GSR accelerator is of paramount importance for ensuring...
ALS - The Advanced Light Source - is in operation for more than 30 years.
Despite the ALS-U upgrade project, which is on the way, the ALS is in routine operation. This pretension is focused on the recent modifications and upgrades which were introduced to the ALS controls system in order to keep it up to date with the latest technology and to make the transition to ALS-U more smooth.
This flash talk presents some of the current tools used in the EPICS infra-structure in the Canadian Light Source (CLS). In addition, it aims to explore some improvements that Control and Instrumentation group (CID) is currently working on, which includes adopting a new operating system and a new display manager to replace EDM.
A brief update on the work undertaken at Diamond to produce a CSS Phoebus-compatible web display.
Full development of the application will start later this year. It will include screen display and editing, as well as a data browser component.
