We have renovated the SPring-8 control room. This is the first major renovation since its inauguration in 1997. In 2011, the construction of SACLA (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Laser Accelerator) was completed and it is planned to be controlled from the new control room for close cooperative operation with the SPring-8 storage ring. It is expected that another SPring-8 II project will require more workstations than the current control room. We have extended the control room area for these foreseen projects. In this renovation we have employed new technology which did not exist 14 years ago, such as a large LCD and silent liquid cooling workstations for comfortable operation environment. We have incorporated many ideas which were obtained during the 14 years experience of the design. The operation in the new control room began in April 2011 after a short period of the construction.

The construction of the X-ray free electron laser facility (SACLA) in SPring-8 started in 2006. After 5 years of construction, the facility completed to accelerate electron beams in February 2011. The main component of the accelerator consists of 64 C-band RF units to accelerate beams up to 8GeV. The beam shape is compressed to a length of 30fs, and the beams are introduced into the 18 insertion devices to generate 0.1nm X-ray laser. The first SASE X-ray was observed after the beam commissioning. The beam tuning will continue to achieve X-ray laser saturation for frontier scientific experiments. The control system adopts the 3-tier standard model by using MADOCA framework developed in SPring-8. The upper control layer consists of Linux PCs for operator consoles, Sybase RDBMS for data logging and FC-based NAS for NFS. The lower consists of 100 Solaris-operated VME systems with newly developed boards for RF waveform processing, and the PLC is used for slow control. The Device-net is adopted for the frontend devices to reduce signal cables. The VME systems have a beam-synchronized data-taking link to meet 60Hz beam operation for the beam tuning diagnostics. The accelerator control has gateways to the facility utility system not only to monitor devices but also to control the tuning points of the cooling water. The data acquisition system for the experiments is challenging. The data rate coming from 2D multiport CCD is 3.4Gbps that produces 30TB image data in a day. A sampled data will be transferred to the 10PFlops supercomputer via 10Gbps Ethernet for data evaluation.
