The Paul Scherrer Institute builds, runs and maintains several particle accelerators. The proton accelerator HIPA, the oldest facility, was mostly equipped with CAMAC components until a few years ago. In several phases CAMAC was replaced by VME hardware and involved about 60 VME crates with 500 cards controlling a few hundred power supplies, motors, and digital as well as analog input/output channels. To control old analog and new digital power supplies with the same new VME components, an interface, so called Multi-IO, had to be developed. In addition, several other interfaces like accommodating different connectors had to be build. Through a few examples the upgrade of the hardware will be explained.

The Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) Injector Test Facility at Paul Scherrer Institute has been in operations for more than three years. The Injector Test Facility machine is a valuable development and validation platform for all major SwissFEL subsystems including controls. Based on the experience gained from the Test Facility operations support, the paper presents current and some perspective controls solutions focusing on the future SwissFEL project.
