Technical Selection for the TPS Control System

Control system framework => EPICS toolkit. Commitment to the funding agency and budget consideration:

Acquire as many of parts from local vendors as possible => Adopt cPCI/PXI, AdvancedTCA, and other embedded solutions for IOC layer. Borrow available resources from other labs. Goals of 2009:

Refine control system planning and design.EPICS IOC test bed.Timing testbed: MRF’s cPCI EVR/EVR solutionSimemns S7/300 PLC testbed: turnkey from EU (Siemens or VIPA)Yokogawa M3R PLC testbed with embedded EPICS IOCPrototype OPIDatabase planningWork out on EPICS driver/devices support for selected hardwareCultivate EPICS peoples.

To enable early testing of applications through the control system, a virtual accelerator has been implemented to give simulation of the accelerators though the intended EPICS PV interface. Prototype was set up by the help from DLS. Current version is AT/MML version. Virtual booster and linac are also possible near future! Many facility have such kinds activities: SNS, KEK, J-PARC, DLS, … many others!

The design of the TPS control system is on going. All major components for control system are in intensive study. Standardization hardware and software are the current focus. EPICS toolkit training - a series training activities will be arranged. Set up EPICS test-bed Single kind of operating system solution for IOCs and consoles are preferred

=> Linux. Economic design without scarify performances and reliability are the goals. Select possible outsourcing items Learn experiences from other labs
