  The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is a 5-40 MeV, 0.04-2 mA proton/deuteron RF superconducting linear accelerator, which is under commissioning at Soreq NRC. SARAF will be a multi-user facility, whose main activities will be neutron physics and applications, radio-pharmaceuticals development and production, and basic nuclear physics research. The SARAF Control System is based mainly on National Instruments and hardware and software. Since the system has been recently commissioned and integrated, the applications are designed as stand-alone VI's with full system expert authorization, except for the LLRF application, which is designed in expert/operator architecture. This paper presents an overview of the SARAF HMI redesign concepts and future implementation.

  The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is a proton/deuteron RF superconducting linear accelerator, which was commissioned at Soreq NRC. SARAF will be a multi-user facility, whose main activities will be neutron physics and applications, radio-pharmaceuticals development and production, and basic nuclear physics research. The SARAF Accelerator Control System (ACS) was delivered while still in development phase. Various issues limit our capability to use it as a basis for future phases of the accelerator operation and need to be addressed. Recently two projects have been launched in order to streamline the system and prepare it for the future development of the accelerator. This article will describe the plans and goals of these projects, the preparations undertaken by the SARAF team, the design principles on which the control methodology will be based and the architecture which is planned to be implemented. The rebuilding process will take place in two consecutive projects. The first will revamp the network architecture and the second will involve the actual rebuilding of the control system applications, features and procedures.
