Abstract The Advanced Photon Source (APS), now under construction at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), is a 7 GeV positron storage ring dedicated to research facilities using synchrotron radiation. This ring, along with its injection accelerators is to be controlled and monitored with a single, flexible, and expandable control system. In the conceptual stage the control system design group faced the challenges that face all control system designers: (1) to force the machine designers to quantify and codify the system requirements, (2) to protect the investment in hardware and software from rapid obsolescence, and (3) to find methods of quickly incorporating new generations of equipment and replace obsolete equipment without disrupting the existing system. To solve these and related problems, the APS control system group made an early resolution to use standards in the design of the system. This paper will cover the present status of the APS control system as well as discuss the design decisions which led us to use industrial standards and collaborations with other laboratories whenever possible to develop a control system.
