Turnkey oriented accelerator control system production is often quite complex and challenging. It involves software development as well as substantial project management effort and, almost always, an on-site installation. Most of the labs have developed solutions that to some extent support such processes, but are tailored to the lab's particular needs and environment. We could not recycle these solutions, as we had to keep the choices open for defining the naming convention and choosing the operating system, platform, and even the control system. Based on our experience with control systems, we have defined a complete set of processes that prescribe the highest level of quality and efficiency in all the project segments. To implement these processes, we have developed a number of tools for composing, configuring, and deploying the control system software. Use of these tools enforces strict version control and traceability, enables centralized configuration of the system, and largely reduces the possibility of human errors. These tools also enable us to reuse well-tested building blocks, leaving us more time for system-wide quality assurance.

We were faced with a problem of integrating an XY diffractometer device into an EPICS control system, where the integration into the Tango control system (TANGO Device Server) already existed. We have developed a generic TANGO-to-EPICS translator, which provides the EPICS control system with an interface to an existing TANGO Device Server. An EPICS Asyn driver is used for handling the communication trough library, which is based on the CORBA protocol. The interface provides a generic way for executing commands with different data types as arguments. Attribute manipulation for all major TANGO data types is supported.
