	The Advanced Rare Isotope & Electron Linac (ARIEL) facility at TRIUMF, scheduled for Phase 1 completion in 2014, will use a control system based on EPICS. Discrete subsystems within the accelerator, beamlines and conventional facilities have been clearly identified. Control system strategies for each identified subsystem have been developed, and components have been chosen to satisfy the unique requirements of each system. The ARIEL control system will encompass methodology already established in the TRIUMF ISAC & ISAC-II facilities in addition to adoption of a number of technologies previously unused at TRIUMF. The scope includes interface with other discrete subsystems such as cryogenics and power distribution, as well as complete subsystem controls packages.

TUPPC101	Scaling of EPICS edm Display Pages at ISAC	controls, EPICS, factory, TRIUMF	816
	R. Keitel TRIUMF, Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Vancouver, Canada
	The EPICS-based control system of the ISAC facility at TRIUMF uses the edm display editor / display manager to create and render the Operator interface displays. edm displays are expressed in pixel coordinates and edm does not scale the display page when a window is re-sized. A simple scheme was implemented to allow operators to switch page magnifications using a set of pre-selected scaling factors. Possible extensions of the scheme and its limitations will be discussed.

THPPC002	Configuration Management for Beam Delivery at TRIUMF/ISAC	ion-source, ion, database, controls	1094
	J.E. Richards, K. Ezawa, R. Keitel TRIUMF, Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Vancouver, Canada
	The ISAC facility at TRIUMF delivers simultaneous beams from different ion sources to multiple destinations. More beams will be added by the ARIEL facility which is presently under construction. To ensure co-ordination of beam delivery, beam path configuration management has been implemented. The process involves beam path selection, configuration setup and configuration monitoring. In addition save and restore of beam line device settings, scaling of beam optic devices for beam energy and mass, beam path specific operator displays, the ability to compare present and previous beam tunes, and alarm enunciation of device readings outside prescribed ranges are supported. Design factors, re-usability strategies, and results are described.
