Currently, a variety of systems are in operation, in some cases these are over 30 years old. Furthermore, the group must maintain operationally a total of six hardware platforms, each with dedicated software. In light of this, a consolidation roadmap has been determined to rejuvenate the power converter complex and to reduce the total number of control platforms. This paper presents a summary of the CERN power converter equipment to be consolidated, and the roadmap to achieve consolidation.
