Beijing HI-13 tandem accelerator at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) was launched in 1984. The old control system had a big gap with current actual requirements. In recent years, several important upgrades were developed step by step based on the original control system. So far, the accelerator control system mainly includes injector control subsystem, vacuum management subsystem and radioactivity protection subsystem. The control system established Ethernet network based on TCP/IP protocol, its transmission medium adopts mixed mode composed of optical fibre, twisted pair cable and wireless. Local control hardware includes SIEMENS S7-300 series PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), MOXA Serial-to-Ethernet server and other data acquisition modules. The software system is developed based on Windows OS platform, using virtual instrument technology. NI LABWINDOWS/CVI, SIEMENS WINCC and Step7 and Microsoft SQLSERVER are applied in software control system. Because each node is relatively independent, one single node failure will not cause the whole system to a large area paralysis. The software system has a friendly interface and is easy to operate.
