The Low Energy High Intensity Proton Accelerator (LEHIPA) is a 20 MeV 30 mA proton accelerator which will be achieved in multiple stages. LEHIPA consists of several sub systems/devices located at different positions of the beam path which includes ION source , RF Power , RF Protection Interlock System, Low Conductivity Water plant, Low Level RF control Systems, Vacuum System, Beam Diagnostics & Beam Line Devices. All these subsystems have their own local control systems (LCS) which will coordinate the operation of the corresponding subsystem. The control system for LEHIPA is thus being designed as a Distributed Control System with different teams developing each LCS. The control system will assist the operator to achieve a beam of desired characteristics by interacting with various sub systems of the accelerator in a seamless manner,protect the various parts machine by generating the necessary interlocks ,keep track of various parameters monitored periodically by suitably archiving them, alarms annunciation and trouble shoot from the control room. This paper describes approach to system design of ICS.

Qt based control system software for low energy accelerating facility is operational in Trombay, BARC. LEAF is 50 keV negative ion electrostatic accelerator based on SNICS ion source. Control system uses Nokia Trolltech's QT 4.x API for control system software. Ni 6008 USB based multifunction cards has been used for control and read back field equipments such as power supplies, pumps, valves etc. Control system architecture is designed to be client server. Qt is chosen for its excellent GUI capability and platform independent nature. Control system follows client server architecture. This paper will describe the control system.

Pelletron is 14 MV tandem Accelerator operating from past 20 years. It was operating on DOS based control system. Its control system software and CAMAC controller hardware has been changed recently. Control system software is is a two layer software namely Scanner and operator console. First layer which runs at equipment interface layer interacts with all CAMAC crates acts a server , known as Scanner. Scanner is developed in LINUX and uses TCP/IP protocol suite for interaction with CAMAC and operator interface. Scanner uses shared memory to store machine's runtime data. Operator console is a Graphics interface software developed by using QT APIs. Operator interface is source code portable between MS windows and LInix.
