	A compact remote PLC control system has been developed for the PKUNIFTY (Peking University Neutron Imaging FaciliTY). That facility is based on a 2 MeV deuteron RFQ accelerator. The PLC control system has been successfully used for the injector including ECR ion source and LEBT, and it worked reliably last year. Now the control of RFQ cavity, HEBT and Be target has been completed and tested. The interlock system has been enhanced. A low level RF control system, including the auto frequency control (AFC) and auto gain control (AGC) circuits, has been designed for the RFQ’s RF power system. Those circuits will work as a lower controller of the PLC control system. The main running parameters can be controlled by setting any desired range of values on the HMI. Test results of hardware and software are presented.

With the development of accelerator technology, to obtain an ion beam with high intensity and low emittance is becoming one of the main goals of research for ion sources. At Peking University we have developed several 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources for different projects and we paid close attention to the beam intensity increasing as well as the beam emittance reduction. Methods are adopted to improve beam intensity by increasing the density of plasma inside the discharge chamber, optimizing the geometry pinch effect and the perveance at the extraction aperture. To suppress the emmitance increasing of an extracted beam, the shape of the electrodes as well as the voltage of suppression electrode are carefully selected With these efforts, a 120 mA total proton beam has been extracted from the permanent magnet ECR ion source at 50 kV, and the measured normalized rms emittance is less than 0.2 pi.mm.mrad. The beam current density at the extraction aperture is about 420 mA/cm².
