	N.U. Saqib, M. Ajmal, A. Majid, D.A. Nawaz, F. Sher, A. Tanvir PINSTECH, Islamabad, Pakistan
	At LINAC Project PINSTECH, 6 MeV electron linear accelerator prototypes are being developed for medical as well as industrial purposes. Control system of the linear accelerators is a distributed control system mainly comprised of EPICS and PLCs. Graphical User Interface (GUI) are developed using Phoebus Control System Studio (CSS) and Siemens WinCC Advanced software. This paper focuses on design, development and implementation of accelerator control system for various subsystems such as RF, vacuum, cooling as well as safety subsystems. The current status of the control system and services is presented.

TUPV019	Control System for 30 keV Electron Gun Test Facility	433
	D.A. Nawaz, M. Ajmal, A. Majid, N.U. Saqib, F. Sher PINSTECH, Islamabad, Pakistan
	At LINAC Project PINSTECH, an electron gun test facility for indigenously developed 30 keV electron guns is developed to control and monitor various beam parameters by performing electron beam tests and diagnostics. After successful testing, electron gun is then integrated into 6 MeV standing wave linear accelerator. This paper presents the control system design and development for the facility.

TUPV020	Automatic RF and Electron Gun Filament Conditioning Systems for 6 MeV LINAC	437
	A. Majid, D.A. Nawaz, N.U. Saqib, F. Sher PINSTECH, Islamabad, Pakistan
	RF conditioning of vacuum windows and RF cavities is a necessary task for eliminating poor vacuum caused by outgassing and contamination. Also, startup and shutdown process of linear accelerator requires gradual increase and decrease of electron gun filament voltage to avoid damage to the filament. This paper presents an EPICS based multi-loop automatic RF conditioning system and Electron Gun filament conditioning system for Klystron based 6 MeV Linear Accelerator.

	N.U. Saqib, F. Sher PINSTECH, Islamabad, Pakistan
	IT infrastructure is backbone of modern big science accelerator control systems. Accelerator Controls and Electronics (ACE) Group is responsible for controls, electronics and IT infrastructure for Medical and Industrial NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) linear accelerator prototypes at LINAC Project, PINSTECH. All of the control system components such as EPICS IOCs, Operator Interfaces, Databases and various servers are virtualized using VMware vSphere and VMware Horizon technologies. This paper describes the current IT design and development structure that is supporting the control systems of the linear accelerators efficiently and effectively.
