With its more than 40 beamlines, BESSY II offers a multi-faceted suite of experimental opportunities. The facility is over 25 years old and in that time a mixture of very diverse control solutions has evolved. The cyberattack in June 2023 was an opportunity to review the current status and consider alternatives.
Leveraging standard open-source containerization and automation tools, the...

The two accelerators KARA and FLUTE at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have been using Control System Studio as the main GUI for over ten years. We are now in the transition to Phoebus, also using the opportunity to update internal build, release and panel distribution workflows. This presentation will report on the current status, outlook and future plans.

Jae-ha Kim (KOMAC/KAERI)4/17/24, 2:45 PMStatus Reports
KOMAC operates a 100 MeV proton linear accelerator comprising a 50-keV injector, a 3-MeV radio frequency quadrupole, a 20-MeV drift tube linac, and a 100-MeV drift linac. To meet the demands of beam users, we have established 10 beamlines: five for 20MeV and five for 100-MeV beams. The proton beam is accelerated to 100 MeV by the linac and then directed to target rooms via the beamlines. The...

The adoption of asyn/portDriver as a standard interface for EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) records has been integral to various control system projects at SLAC. Renowned for its stability, well-documented behavior, and reduced incidence of bugs, asyn/portDriver offers a straightforward and efficient means of developing EPICS drivers without necessitating extensive...

The PLS-II beamline's Data Acquisition (DAQ) software has historically been operated using a variety of platforms, including SPEC, LabVIEW, and beamline-specific custom software. As the need for performance improvement and convenience has arisen, there has been a shift away from the policy of each beamline independently developing its DAQ programs. Instead, there is a growing need to adopt a...

Containers provide the means to package up IOC software and execute it in a lightweight virtual environment. These packages are then saved into public or private image registries such as DockerHub or Github Container Registry.
An important outcome of using containers is that you can alter the environment inside the container to suit the IOC code, instead of altering the code to suit your...

“vd” (virtual device) is a software, written in Go, designed to accelerate the integration of devices into the EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System). The “vd” helps when the real device is not available and one wants to start developing IOC following the delivered documentation.
The ”vd” tool can simulate devices that communicate using stream-based communication,...

The Advanced Light Source Upgrade project (ALS-U) will utilize a Phoebus-based alarm system for optimal control system operation. To achieve this, a virtualized alarm test environment was configured and deployed. This environment facilitates configuration of a structured alarm system using the Phoebus alarm service, which satisfies the alarm requirements of modern distributed control systems....
