  The KEK 2.5-GeV linac has been operating since 1982. However, in order to maintain reliable operation, the control system should be upgraded within a few years. We plan to replace the minicomputers and the main network connecting them. Thus, the architecture of the control software will also be revised. In the new system we should adopt software and hardware standards. In the next control system we will employ the TCP/IP (DARPA) protocol suite for the main network and Unix workstations to replace the minicomputers. For connections to the local controllers, VME bus (IEEE 1014) will be utilized.

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.

  The design of a control system of the linac which is a large scale system including many unstable components like klystrons and modulatora. The linac for SPring-8 requires to be operated automatically for injection to the synchrotron. Under these conditions, we chose a distributed control system architecture of a single layer net-work to simplify the protocol of the net-work between the linac, the booster synchrotron and the storage ring. A VME computer of 68030 is put in every modulator of the linac, and all control signals are gathered to the nearest VME computer. OS-9 and OS-9000 are on trial for investigation of the performances. TCP/IP is tentatively chosen as a protocol of the net-work, but we expect that MAP/MMS makes a high performance, and we are preparing a test of it.

Data acquisition hardware in accelerator control systems is connected by a field bus to networked computers that supply data to consoles. Industry attempts to standardize on a low level field bus have not succeeded in providing a single well­ supported bus. This paper describes a data acquisition chassis that connects to VMEbus computers using ARCNET, a full featured token-passing local area network, as the field bus. The performance of this technique as implemented in the control system for the Fermilab Linac is given.

  The main linac of Japan Linear Collider(JLC) will be operated at an X-band frequency of 11.424 GHz. The positioning of the X-band accelerating structures at JLG requires precise phase synchronisation over about 10 km. Temperature compensated fiber optic cables will be used for the transmission of the 11.424 GHz RF signal. The performance of this transmission line is described. Many timing signals will be also transmitted from the main control room, in which the master RF frequency generator will be situated, via this l.3 ¿m single mode fiber optic link. The outline of the timing system for JLC is given in this paper.

  A new phase-lock network using fiber-optic system was developed as a local signal distribution system for 84 antennas of the Nobeyama Radioheliograph. This network is an open loop system and consists of a master oscillator with an E/O converter, an 1-to-84 optical divider, phase stable optical fiber cables and phase stable phase-locked oscillators with O/E converters. Phase stability of the network and phase noise generated at the O/E converter are discussed. This phase-lock network insures the required phase stability of 3°/6 hours. The phase noise increases the coherent loss of 0.1 % at the correlator output, which is very low. This is the first large application of fiber optic devices to an open loop phase-lock network. Our system is very simple and phase-stable. Therefore, it is suitable to the connected array with large number of antennas.

  Fast transverse beam profile and current monitoring systems have been tested at the Linear Accelerator of Moscow Meson Factory. The signals for each system are derived from multiwire secondary emission chamber and beam current transformer. Each beam pulse is digitized by fast ADC’s. There are two modes for systems. First one is for detailed beam adjustment and second one is for normal 100 Hz rate of the MMF Linac. Essential features of the hardware, software, data acquisition, measurement accuracy and beam results are presented.

A generalized fast feedback system has been developed to stabilize beams at various locations in the SLC. The system is designed to perform measurements and change actuator settings to control beam states such as position, angle and energy on a pulse to pulse basis. The software design is based on the state space formalism of digital control theory. The system is database-driven, facilitating the addition of new loops without requiring additional software. A communications system, KISNet, provides fast communications links between microprocessors for feedback loops which involve multiple micros. Feedback loops have been installed in seventeen locations throughout the SLC and have proven to be invaluable in stabilizing the machine.

  We report our experience in porting Linac application programs written for CAMAC controlled hardware consoles to an X·Windows/Motif based workstation environment. Application programs acquire their parameter values from a front end computer (FEC), controlling the acceleration process, via a local area network. The timing for data acquisition and control is determined by the particle source timing. Two server programs on the FEC for repetitive acquisition and command-response mode will be described. The application programs on the workstations access a common parameter access server who establishes the necessary connection to the parameters on the FEC. It displays the parameter’s current values and allows control through Motif interactive synoptics editor and its corresponding driver program allow easy generation of synoptics displays and interaction through command panels.

  The diagnostic system for klystron modulators using a neural network has been developed. Large changes in the voltage and current of the main circuit in a klystron modulator were observed just several ten milli-seconds before the modulator experienced trouble. These changes formed a peculiar pattern that depended on the parts with problems. Diagnosis was possible by means of pattern recognition. The recognition test of patterns using a neural network has shown good results. This system, which is built in a linac control system, is presently being operated so as to collect new trouble patterns and to carry out tests for practical use.

  A prototype diagnostic expert system (ES) was developed for the Photon Factory 2.5-GeV electron/ positron LINAC injector system. The ES has been on-lined with the conventional linac computer network for receiving real data. This project was undertaken in an attempt to reduce the linac operator’s mental workload, diagnosis duties, and to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The outlook for ES and its problems, and what has been achieved are outlined in this presentation.
