AB  - The control system of the two isotope separators of CERN, named ISOLDE, is being completely redesigned with the goal of having a flexible, high performance and inexpensive system. A new architecture that makes heavy use of the commercial software and hardware available for the huge Personal Computer (PC) market is being implemented on the 1700 geographically distributed control channels of the separators. 8 MS-DOS™ i386-based PCs with about 80 acquisition/control boards are used to access the equipments while 3 other PCs running Microsoft Windows™ and Microsoft Excel™ are used as consoles, the whole through a Novell™ Local Area Network with a PC Disk Server used as a database. This paper describes the interesting solutions found and discusses the reduced programming workload and costs that are expected to build the system before the start of the separators in March 1992.
