The Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University (ISU) has been operating nine low energy accelerators. Since the beginning of the fall semester of 2012, the ISU Advanced Accelerator and Ultrafast Beam Lab (AAUL) group has been working to develop a new EPICS system to control 47 magnet power supplies for an IAC 44 MeV L-band linear accelerator. Its original control system was fully analog, which had several limitations to get good reproducibility and stability during the accelerator operation. This paper describes our group’s team effort and accomplishment in developing a new EPICS system to control 15 Lambda EMS and 32 TDK-Lambda ZUP power supplies for the IAC L-band linear accelerator. In addition, we also describe several other useful tools such as the save and restore function.
