  CERN’s planned large su­per­con­duct­ing col­lider pro­ject pre­sents sev­eral new chal­lenges to the Con­trol Sys­tem. These are dis­cussed along with cur­rent think­ing as to how they can be met. The high field su­per­con­duct­ing mag­nets are sub­ject to "per­sis­tent cur­rents" which will re­quire real time mea­sure­ments and con­trol using a math­e­mat­i­cal model on a 2-10 sec­ond time in­ter­val. This may be re­alised using di­rect links, mul­ti­plexed using TDM, be­tween the field equip­ment and cen­tral servers. Quench con­trol and avoid­ance will make new de­mands on speed of re­sponse, re­li­a­bil­ity and sur­veil­lance. The in­te­gra­tion of large quan­ti­ties of in­dus­tri­ally con­trolled equip­ment will be im­por­tant. Much of the con­trols will be in com­mon with LEP so a seam­less in­te­gra­tion of LHC and LEP con­trols will be sought. A very large amount of new high-tech equip­ment will have to be tested, as­sem­bled and in­stalled in the LEP tun­nel in a short time. The man­power and cost con­straints will be much tighter than pre­vi­ously. New ap­proaches will have to be found to solve many of these prob­lems, with the ad­di­tional con­straint of in­te­grat­ing them into an ex­ist­ing frame­work.

This paper pre­sents the re­sults of analy­sis of the per­for­mance re­quire­ments of the Su­per­con­duct­ing Super Col­lider Con­trol Sys­tem. We quan­tify the per­for­mance re­quire­ments of the sys­tem in terms of re­sponse time, through­put and re­li­a­bil­ity. We then ex­am­ine the ef­fect of dis­tance and traf­fic pat­terns on con­trol sys­tem per­for­mance and ex­am­ine how these fac­tors in­flu­ence the im­ple­men­ta­tion of the con­trol net­work ar­chi­tec­ture and com­pare the pro­posed sys­tem against those cri­te­ria.

B fac­to­ries pre­sent unique re­quire­ments for con­trols and in­stru­men­ta­tion sys­tems. High re­li­a­bil­ity is crit­i­cal to achiev­ing the in­te­grated lu­mi­nos­ity goals. The CESR-B up­grade at Cor­nell Uni­ver­sity will have a con­trol sys­tem based on the ar­chi­tec­ture of the suc­cess­ful CESR con­trol sys­tem, which uses a cen­tral­ized data­base/mes­sage rout­ing sys­tem in a mul­ti­ported mem­ory, and VAXs­ta­tions for all high-level con­trol func­tions. The im­ple­men­ta­tion of this ar­chi­tec­ture will ad­dress the de­fi­cien­cies in the cur­rent im­ple­men­ta­tion while pro­vid­ing the re­quired per­for­mance and re­li­a­bil­ity.

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 Eu­ro­pean Syn­chro­tron Ra­di­a­tion Fa­cil­ity (ESRF) will op­er­ate a 6 GeV e⁻/e⁺ stor­age ring of 850 m cir­cum­fer­ence to de­liver to date un­prece­dented high bril­liance X-rays to the Eu­ro­pean re­search com­mu­nity. The ESRF is the first mem­ber of a new gen­er­a­tion of Syn­chro­tron Ra­di­a­tion Sources, in which the bril­liance of the beam and the uti­liza­tion of in­ser­tion de­vices are pushed to their pre­sent lim­its. Com­mis­sion­ing of the fa­cil­ity’s stor­age ring will start in spring 1992. A full en­ergy in­jec­tor, con­sist­ing of a 200 MeV lin­ear prein­jec­tor and a 6GeV fast cy­cling syn­chro­tron (l0 Hz) of 350 m cir­cum­fer­ence have been suc­cess­fully com­mis­sioned dur­ing the last months. The ma­chine con­trol sys­tem for this fa­cil­ity, which is under con­struc­tion since 1988, is still under de­vel­op­ment, but its ini­tial on-site op­er­a­tion this year has clearly made eas­ier the com­mis­sion­ing of the prein­jec­tor plant. A de­scrip­tion of the cur­rent sys­tem is given and ap­pli­ca­tion soft­ware for start-up is briefly de­scribed.

  We de­scribe the sta­tus of the DANTE (DA¿NE New Tools En­vi­ron­ment) con­trol sys­tem for the new DA{Φ}NE {Φ}-fac­tory under con­struc­tion at the Fras­cati Na­tional Lab­o­ra­to­ries. The sys­tem is based on a cen­tral­ized com­mu­ni­ca­tion ar­chi­tec­ture for sim­plic­ity and re­li­a­bil­ity. A cen­tral proces­sor unit co­or­di­nates all com­mu­ni­ca­tions be­tween the con­soles and the lower level dis­trib­uted pro­cess­ing power, and con­tin­u­ously up­dates a cen­tral mem­ory that con­tains the whole ma­chine sta­tus. We have de­vel­oped a sys­tem of VME Fiber Optic in­ter­faces al­low­ing very fast point to point com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween dis­tant proces­sors. Mac­in­tosh II per­sonal com­put­ers are used as con­soles. The lower lev­els are all built using the VME stan­dard.

  The upper level of a dis­trib­uted con­trol sys­tem de­signed for the su­per­con­duct­ing Cy­clotron (SC), will be dis­cussed. In par­tic­u­lar, we will pre­sent a de­tailed de­scrip­tion of the op­er­a­tor view of this ac­cel­er­a­tor along with the tools for I/O points man­age­ment, data rap­p­re­sen­ta­tions, data archiv­ing and re­trieval. A ded­i­cated pro­gram, de­vel­oped by us, work­ing under X-Win­dow will be de­scribed as a start­ing point for a new man-ma­chine in­ter­face ap­proach in small lab­o­ra­to­ries op­posed to the first in­dus­trial avail­able pack­ages.

  The IHEP pro­ton Ac­cel­er­at­ing and Stor­age Com­plex (UNK) in­cludes in its first stage a 400 GeV con­ven­tional and a 3000 GeV su­per­con­duct­ing ring placed in the same un­der­ground tun­nel of 20.7 km cir­cum­fer­ence. The beam will be in­jected into UNK from the ex­ist­ing 70 GeV ac­cel­er­a­tor U-70. The ex­per­i­men­tal pro­gramme which is planned to start in 1995, will in­clude 3000 GeV fixed tar­get and 400-3000 GeV col­lid­ing beams physics. The size and com­plex­ity of the UNK dic­tate a dis­trib­uted mul­ti­proces­sor ar­chi­tec­ture of the con­trol sys­tem. About 4000 of 8/16 bit con­trollers, di­rectly at­tached to the UNK equip­ment will per­form low level con­trol and data ac­qui­si­tion tasks. The equip­ment con­trollers will be con­nected via the MIL-1553 field bus to VME based 32-bit front end com­put­ers. The TCP/IP net­work will in­ter­con­nect front end com­put­ers in the UNK equip­ment build­ings with UNIX work­sta­tions and servers in the Main Con­trol Room. The re­port pre­sents the gen­eral ar­chi­tec­ture and cur­rent sta­tus of the UNK con­trol.

  Moscow Uni­ver­sity race-track mi­cro­tron (RTM) con­trol sys­tem is a star-shape net­work of LSI-11 com­pat­i­ble mi­cro­com­put­ers. Each of them is con­nected with RTM sys­tems via CAMAC; op­ti­cal fiber cou­pling is also used. Con­trol sys­tem soft­ware is de­signed on Pas­cal-1, sup­ple­mented with real time mod­ules and Macro. A uni­fied real time tech­nique and re-en­ter­able data ac­qui­si­tion dri­vers allow to sim­plify de­vel­op­ment of con­trol dri­vers and al­go­rithms. Among the lat­ter three main types are used: DDC meth­ods, those, based on op­ti­miza­tion tech­nique and al­go­rithms, ap­ply­ing mod­els of mi­cro­tron’s sys­tems. Man-ma­chine in­ter­face is based on con­cept of the "world of ac­cel­er­a­tor". It sup­ports means to de­sign, within hard­ware pos­si­bil­i­ties, var­i­ous com­puter im­ages of the RTM.

  The mod­ern con­trol tech­nique was used to de­sign and set up a con­trol sys­tem for the syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion fa­cil­i­ties at the syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion re­search cen­ter (SRRC). This con­trol sys­tem will be fi­nally to op­er­ate the ded­i­cated ma­chine to pro­vide the 1.3 GeV syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion light. The con­trol sys­tem will con­trol and mon­i­tor the com­po­nents of stor­age ring, beam trans­port and in­jec­tor sys­tem. The con­cept of the phi­los­o­phy is to de­sign a unique, sim­ple struc­ture and ob­ject-ori­ented graphic dis­play con­trol sys­tem. The SRRC con­trol sys­tem has the major fea­tures such as two level ar­chi­tec­ture, high speed local area net­work with high level pro­to­col, high speed mi­cro­proces­sor based VME crate, ob­ject-ori­ented high per­for­mance con­trol con­sole and graphic dis­play. The com­puter hard­ware sys­tem was set up and tested. The soft­ware in top level com­put­ers which in­clude data­base server, net­work server, up­load pro­gram, data ac­cess pro­gram, alarm check­ing and dis­play, as well as graph­ics user in­ter­face (GUI) pro­gram were de­vel­oped and tested.

Em­pha­siz­ing re­li­a­bil­ity and flex­i­bil­ity, hi­er­ar­chi­cal ar­chi­tec­ture with dis­trib­uted com­put­ers have been de­signed into the Po­hang Light Source (PLS) com­puter con­trol sys­tem. The PLS con­trol sys­tem has four lay­ers of com­puter sys­tems con­nected via mul­ti­ple data com­mu­ni­ca­tion net­works. This paper pre­sents an overview of the PLS con­trol sys­tem. The ac­cel­er­a­tor con­trol sys­tem pro­vides means for ac­cess­ing all ma­chine com­po­nents so that the whole sys­tem could be mon­i­tored and con­trolled re­motely. These tasks in­clude set­ting mag­net cur­rents, col­lect­ing sta­tus data from the vac­uum sub­sys­tem, tak­ing orbit data with beam po­si­tion mon­i­tors, feed­back con­trol of elec­tron beam orbit, reg­u­lat­ing the safety in­ter­lock mon­i­tors, and so forth. To de­sign a con­trol sys­tem which can per­form these func­tions sat­is­fac­to­rily, cer­tain basic de­sign re­quire­ments must be ful­filled. Among these are re­li­a­bil­ity, ca­pa­bil­ity, expa.​nsibility, cost con­trol, and ease of op­er­a­tion.

  The con­trol sys­tem of SPring-8 fa­cil­ity is de­signed. A dis­trib­uted com­puter sys­tem is adopted with a three-hi­er­ar­chy lev­els. All the com­put­ers are linked by com­puter net­works. The net­work of upper level is a high-speed multi-me­dia LAN such as FDDI which links sub-sys­tem con­trol com­put­ers, and mid­dle are Eth­er­net or MAP net­works which link front end proces­sors (FEP) such as VME sys­tem. The low­est is a field level bus which links VME and con­trolled de­vices. Work­sta­tions (WS) or X-ter­mi­nals are use­ful for man-ma­chine in­ter­faces. For op­er­at­ing sys­tem (OS), UNIX is use­ful for upper level com­put­ers, and real-time OS’s for FEP’s. We will se­lect hard­wares and OS of which spec­i­fi­ca­tions are close to in­ter­na­tional stan­dards. Since re­cently the cost of soft­ware has be­come higher than that of hard­ware, we in­tro­duce com­puter aided tools as many as pos­si­ble for pro­gram de­vel­op­ments.

  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.

  A con­trol sys­tem for HIMAC syn­chro­tron has been de­signed. The sys­tem con­sists of a main com­puter, con­sole work­sta­tions, a few small com­put­ers and VME-com­put­ers con­nected via Eth­er­net. The small com­put­ers are ded­i­cated to the con­trol of an in­jec­tion line, an ex­trac­tion line and an RF sys­tem. Power sup­plies in main rings are con­trolled by the VME-com­put­ers through FDI/FDO, DI/DO mod­ules. This paper de­scribes an overview of the syn­chro­tron con­trol sys­tem.
