The booster control system is an integral part of the NSLS-II control system and is developed under EPICS. The booster control system includes six IBM Systems x3250 M3 and four VME3100 controllers connected via Gigabit Ethernet. These computers provide running IOCs for power supplies control, timing, beam diagnostics and interlocks. Also cPCI ADCs located in cPCI crate are used for beam diagnostics. Front-end electronics for vacuum control and interlocks are Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers and I/O devices. Timing system is based on use of Micro-Research Finland Oy products: EVR 230RF and PMC EVR. Power supplies control use BNL developed set of a Power Supply Interface (PSI) which is located close to power supplies and a Power Supply Controller (PSC) which is connected to a front-end computer via 100 Mbit Ethernet. Each PSI is connected to its PSC via fiber-optic link. High Level Applications developed in Control System Studio and python run in Operator Consoles located in the Control Room. This paper describes the final design and status of the booster control system. The functional block diagrams are presented.

The EPICS Version 4 development effort* is not planning to replace the current Version 3 IOC Database or its use of the Channel Access network protocol in the near future. Interoperability is a key aim of the V4 development, which is building upon the older IOC implementation. EPICS V3 continues to gain new features and functionality on its Version 3.15 development branch, while the Version 3.14 stable branch has been accumulating minor tweaks, bug fixes, and support for new and updated operating systems. This paper describes the main enhancements provided by recent and upcoming releases of EPICS Version 3 for control system applications.

When operating a multicomponent system, it is always necessary to observe the state of a whole installation as well as of its components. Tracking data is essential to perform tuning and troubleshooting, so records of a work process generally have to be kept. As any other machine, the NSLS-II booster should have an implementation of monitoring and archiving schemes as a part of the control system. Because of the booster being a facility with a cyclical operation mode, there were additional challenges when designing and developing monitoring and archiving tools. Thorough analysis of available infrastructure and current approaches to monitoring and archiving was conducted to take into account additional needs that come from booster special characteristics. A software extension for values present in the control system allowed to track the state of booster subsystems and to perform an advanced archiving with multiple warning levels. Time stamping and data collecting strategies were developed as a part of monitoring scheme in order to preserve and recover read-backs and settings as consistent data sets. This paper describes relevant solutions incorporated in the booster control system.
