Since its inception in the early 1980's, the SLC Control System has been driven by a highly structured memory-resident real-time database. While efficient, its rigid structure and file-based sources makes it difficult to maintain and extract relevant information. The goal of transforming the sources for this database into a relational form is to enable it to be part of a Control System Enterpri...

The current status of the control system for a new high intensity proton accelerator, the JAERI-KEK Joint Project, is presented. Phase 1 of the Joint Project has been approved and recently started its construction at the JAERI site at Tokai. The first beam commissioning is scheduled in 2006. In parallel with it, a 60-MeV Linac is now being constructed at the KEK site at Tsukuba for R&D purposes...

Large research institutes such as accelerator-based research centres deal with a large number of complicated components, which should be integrated into and controlled as one homogeneous system. The components of such systems have been frequently developed at different times, in different countries and use different standards and technologies. The control system of components or subsystems may ...

The fundamental knowledge contained in the previous paper on “Cavity control system essential modeling for TESLA linear accelerator and free electron laser” is applied for Matlabs’ Simulink implementation of the basic models for the cavity resonator. Elementary simulations of the cavity behavior are carried out and some experimental results for signals and power considerations are presented.

Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) has embarked on a complete upgrade of its decade old computer system. The planned improvements affect every major component: processors (Intel Pentium replaces VAXes), operating system (Linux/Real-Time Linux supplants OpenVMS), and data acquisition equipment (fast Ethernet equipment replaces CAMAC serial highway.) This paper summa...

Increasingly less expensive, more reliable, state of the art, standard PC components, with the now stable operating system Linux, provide a solid base for a port of the Accelerator Control Front-End. The poster shows odds and evens of the project in all it's phases, from the analysis, through the implementation and testing, to the integration into the Accelerator Control operation. To better ju...
