The GSI accelerator facility consists of an old linac and two modern machines, a synchrotron and a storage ring. It is operated from one control room. Only three operators at a time have to keep it running with only little assistance from machine specialists in daytime. So the control tools must provide a high degree of abstraction and modeling to relieve the operators from details on the device level. The program structures to achieve this are described in this paper. A coarse overview of the control architecture is given.

Three accelerator facilities were built in the past few years, the 2.8 GeV electron positron collider BEPC, the heavy ion SSC cyclotron accelerator HIRFL and the 800 MeV synchrotron radiation storage ring HESYRL. Aimed at different research areas, they represent a new generation of accelerator in China. This report describes the design philosophy, the structure, performance as well as future improvements of the control systems of the these facilities.

The Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) is a multi-purpose and variable energy machine designed to accelerate wide range of ions. In order to obtain a designed beam (particle and energy) and to transport it to a proper experimental areas in a short time requires to modify a great number of parameters, this cannot be easily achieved without the help of a computer. The control system design and construction was started in 1983. First of all, some local control station of accelerator subsystems were finished in 1988 and satisfied the needs of operating and commissioning at the elementary level. Controlling the HIRFL process is implementing at a high level.

K6 is a secondary separated-beam line with momentum range up to 2.0 GeV/c in the north experimental hall at the KEK 12 GeV Proton Synchrotron (KEK-PS). On the construction, newly developed magnet power supplies (MPSs), in each of them a microprocessor is embedded, are introduced. The features of the MPS are as follows: 1) The MPS is connected to an upper-level beam line controller (BLC) by GPIB highway for exchanging simple messages. 2) All the operations of the MPS are supervised by the microprocessor, which has its individual parameters and fault messages. It reduces the load of the upper-level controller. 3) The MPS has functions to inspect itself and to report the results. It saves much time and labor of maintenance.

We have developed a control system of the Nobeyama Millimeter Array which is a radio interferometer for astronomical observations at millimeter wavelengths. The system consists of three sub-systems (MANAGER, ENGINE, and STATUS CONTROLLER). Observers conduct their observations with MANAGER sub-system, which run on a UNIX workstation. ENGINE is a rigid system on an IBM compatible mainframe. It controls the accurate tracking of astronomical radio objects, and acquires a large amount of observed data from a receiver backend. STATUS CONTROLLER consists of several personal computers which control and monitor the receiver system. These sub-systems are connected with an ethernet.

A centralized control system for a fusion experimental machine is discussed. A configuration whereby a number of complete and uniform local systems are controlled by a central computer, a timer and an interlock system is appropriate for the control system of the Large Helical Device (LHD). A connection among local systems can be made by Ethernet, because a faster transmission of control data is processed by a specific system.

Driving Serial CAMAC Systems from VME Crates |

Large control systems in the 80’s were often based on Serial CAMAC loops driven by 16 bit minicomputers. These 16 bit computers, becoming obsolete in the 90’s, are advantageously replaced by VME crates. To maintain the investment in Serial CAMAC hardware and software, an inexpensive Serial Highway Driver has been developed which operates in a VME crate as simple I/O module. With this system, both classical configurations, i.e. the Highway Driver on the I/O bus of the minicomputer and the Highway Driver in a so-called CAMAC mother crate, can be replaced with minimal costs and improved performance. This paper presents a VME Serial CAMAC Driver and compares the performance of the VME driven Serial Highway to the ones driven by minicomputers. The comparison is based on the experience gained with the beginning of the replacement of Norsk Data minicomputers by VME crates in the CERN/PS control system as described by A. Gagnaire et al. in "Replacing PS Controls front end minicomputers by VME based 32-bit processors" in S11LLC01, this conference.
