SESAME, Allan, Jordan
SESAME is a synchrotron light source located in Allan, Jordan. It is expected to become operational in late 2017. Storage ring is currently under commissioning. SESAME's control systems are based on EPICS used for developing both soft and hard IOCs. Control System Studio (CSS) is used to build the graphical user interfaces. PLCs are used in machine protection and personal safety systems. VME is used in timing and power supplies control systems. This paper presents progress made in design and development of the Storage ring's control systems including: vacuum, power supplies, RF, diagnostics, cooling, MPS, PSS and timing systems.

SESAME is a 2.5 GeV synchrotron light source located in Allan, Jordan. It is expected to become operational in late 2017. Storage ring is currently under commissioning. The main components of the control systems software side are: IOCs developed using EPICS toolkit, operator interfaces (OPIs) designed using Control System Studio (CSS), process variables archiving using CSS BEAUTY toolkit, alarm handling using CSS BEAST toolkit and tools to help in automation and reporting. This paper will present the design and development of the client system based on CSS, as well as upgrades that are under research including EPICS Qt framework as a client replacement for CSS and upgrading the archiver engine to a scalable and higher performance engine.
