Given the significant dangers of LHC operations, access control to the accelerator controls system is required. This paper describes the requirements, design, and implementation of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for the LHC and injectors controls systems. It is an overview of the two main components of RBAC: authentication and authorization, and the tools needed to manage access control data. We begin by stating the main requirements of RBAC and then describe the architecture and its implementation. RBAC is developed by LAFS a collaboration between CERN and Fermilab.

The dozen of wide-band beam diagnostics sensors such as integration current transformer, faraday cup, and wall current monitors were used in SSRF(Shanghai Synchrtron Radiation Facility) Linac and transport line to measure bunch shape and charge. Few hundreds MHz bandwidth required very high speed digitizer like digital sampling scope. On the other hand SSRF control system was built on EPICS platform. So Windows PC based Tektronics scope, which equipped with TekVISA interface, Shared Memory IOCcore EPICS interface, and Labview application was chosen to do this data acquisition. The details of software design and the performance evaluation results for TDS7104 and DPO7054 will be described in this paper.

SSRF is equipped with various beam instrumentations, in which the Linac part has been working well since the start of the commissioning this year, and the booster and storage ring parts are still under implementation and commissioning. The commercial products were adopted to build this system as much as possible. The all-in-one electron beam position monitor processor, Libera, was used for whole facility to provide single-pass, first-turn, turn-by-turn, COD, and fast application beam position data. The Bergoz NPCT175 parametric current transformers were used for DC current measurement in the booster and storage ring. The various optical beam diagnostic systems, such as synchrotron radiation interferometers for precise beam-size measurement, the fast gated camera, and the bunch length monitor will be equipped in the dedicated diagnostics beam line. Data acquisition for beam instrumentation system should be a part of control system, developed on an EPICS platform. There are three kinds of Input Output Controllers (IOCs) used in diagnostics: VxWorks-based VME IOCs, Linux-based Libera IOCs, and Windows-based PC IOCs.

CERNs Accelerator Controls group launched a project in 2003 to develop the new CERN accelerator Real-Time Front-End Software Architecture (FESA) for the LHC and its injectors. In this paper, we would like to report the status of this project, at the eve of the LHC start-up. After describing the main concepts of this real-time Object Oriented Software Framework, we will present how we have capitalized on this technical choice by showing the flexibility through the new functionalities recently introduced such as Transactions, Diagnostics, Monitoring, Management of LHC Critical Settings, and Communication with PLC devices. We will depict the methodology we have put in place to manage the growing community of developers and the start of a collaboration with GSI. To conclude we will present the extensions foreseen in the short term.

We upgraded the BPM data acquisition system of the PLS 2.5-Gev storage ring with the use of RFM (Reflective Memory). Our present BPM data acquisition system is based on EPICS VME IOC. It uses an analog-to-digital converter with 16-bit resolution and a 100-KHz conversion rate to digitize BPM raw electric signals. To get better position data from the digitized raw BPM data, we developed BPM data-averaging software utilizing RFM. With this averaging software, we could average 4000 samples of raw BPM data with the refresh rate of 2 seconds and get much better position data compared with the previous one. We installed data-averaging software and reflective memory modules into 12 local BPM IOCs for the routine operation. We are also planning to develop a fast global feedback system using RFM to improve beam quality in the near future.

In order to determine the transversal LCLS beam position from the signals induced by the beam in four stripline pickup electrodes, the BPM electronics have to process four concurrent short RF bursts with a dynamic range > 60dB. An analog front end conditions the signals for subsequent acquisition with a waveform digitizer and also provides a calibration tone that can be injected into the system in order to compensate for gain variations and drift. Timing of the calibration pulser and switches, as well as control of various programmable attenuators, is provided by an FPGA. Because no COTS waveform digitizer with the desired performance (>14bit, ≥119MSPS) was available, the PAD digitizer (see separate contribution WPPB39) was selected. It turned out that the combination of a waveform digitizer with a low-end embedded CPU running a real-time OS (RTEMS) and control system (EPICS) is extremely flexible and could very easily be customized for our application. However, in order to meet the BPM real-time needs (readings in < 1ms), a second Ethernet interface was added to the PAD so that waveforms can be shipped, circumventing the ordinary TCP/IP stack on a dedicated link.

The Control System of J-PARC 3GeV RCS is configured based on Database, which is comprised of Component Data Management DB (Component DB) and Data Acquisition DB (Operation DB. Component DB was developed mainly to manage the data on accelerator components and to generate EPICS records automatically using the data. Presently we are testing the reliability of DB application software at Linac operation. Later most Linac EPICS records are generated from DB, and we are able to operate Linac with very few problems. Operation DB collects the two kinds of data. One is EPICS records data, and the other is synchronized data. Now we are testing the reliability of application software for EPICS records data collection, and we have confirmed that EPICS record data are corrected with very few problems. Later Linac EPICS records data are inserted in Operation DB from Linac Operation start. On the other hand, application software for synchronized data collection is now being developed, and we will test the reliability of this application software from comprehensive information on RCS operation. We report on the status of development for Database for Control System of J-PARC 3GeV RCS.
