The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the German national metrology institute, has set up in close cooperation with BESSY a low-energy electron storage ring next to the BESSY II site. The new storage ring, named "Metrology Light Source"(MLS), is mainly dedicated to metrology and technological developments in the UV and VUV spectral range. Its commissioning started in March 2007. The MLS control system is based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) toolkit. Design and implementation choices guided by the experiences with the BESSY II control system have been flanked by other techniques and new approaches where needed and appropriate. The presentation introduces the MLS and discusses design and implementation of its control system.

The BESSY II storage ring has been in continuous operation for more than 8 years. With BESSY's new projects and facilities requiring an increasing amount of attention, maintaining the BESSY II control system's high reliability and availability with less effort has become an important task. A set of professional noncommercial tools has been introduced. These tools are combined to detect and track errors, support system administration, and allow an efficient analysis and maintenance of the control system's hardware, software, and configuration. The paper discusses problems and difficulties encountered, and presents the selected approaches and tools as well as the gained experiences.
