  The cryogenic installations on the DESY campus are widely distributed. The liquid Helium (LHE) is produced in a central building. Three cryogenic plants are installed. One is in operation for FLASH the other two are currently in the commissioning phase and will be used for the European XFEL. Thousands of I/O channels are spread over the campus this way. The majority of the I/O devices are standard devices used in process control. The de facto standard for distributed I/O in process controls in Germany is Profibus. So it is obvious to use this bus also for cryogenic controls. Subsequently we developed also special electronics to attach temperature and level readouts to this field bus. Special diagnostic tools are available and permanently attached to the bus. Condition monitoring tools provide diagnostics which enable preventative maintenance planning. Specific tools were developed in Control System Studio (CSS) which is -the- standard tool for configuration, diagnostic and controls for all cryogenic plants. We will describe our experience over the last years with this infrastructure.

  The beam diagnostics system of ALPI-PIAVE accelerators has been recently upgraded by migrating the control software to EPICS. The system is based on 40 modules each one including a Faraday cup and a beam profiler made of a couple of wire grids. The device's insertion is controlled by stepper motors in ALPI and by pnematic valves in PIAVE. To reduce the upgrade costs the existing VME hardware used for data acquisition has been left unchanged, while the motor controllers only have been replaced by new units developed in house. The control software has been rebuilt from scratch using EPICS tools. The operator interface is based on CSS; a Channel Archiver based on .. has been installed to support the analysis of transport setup during tests of new beams. The ALPI-PIAVE control system is also a bench test for the new beam diagnostics under development for the SPES facility, whose installation is foreseen in mid 2015.  
 
WPO031 Diagnostics Test Stand Setup at PSI and its Controls in Light of the Future SwissFEL controls, software, hardware, interface 108

  In order to provide high quality electron beams, the future SwissFEL machine needs very precise and reliable beam diagnostics tools. At Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), the development of such tools is performed based on the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility and a dedicated automated diagnostics test stand. The test stand is equipped by not only major SwissFEL beam diagnostics elements (cameras, beam loss monitors, beam current monitors, etc.) but also their controls and data processing hardware and software. The paper describes diagnostics test stand controls software components, which were designed in view of the future SwissFEL operational requirements.

  Indus-2 is a 2.5 GeV Synchrotron Radiation Source at Indore, India. With 6 beamlines commissioned, several more under installation & commissioning and 5 insertion devices planned, the machine is operated in round the clock mode. With implementation of orbit, tune and bunch feedback systems and many new systems in planning, machine is constantly evolving and so is the control system. The control system software is based on PVSS SCADA running on windows PCs and also integrates other software modules in Labview and Matlab. The control hardware is a combination of VME based control stations interconnected over Ethernet and Profibus. Some recent system enhancements include Parameter deviation alarms, transient data capture system, database improvements and web services. Paper takes a stock of the control system and it's evolution with new systems in the offing.

  The magnetic system of Novosibirsk Free electron laser containing large amount of magnetic elements, feed by power supplies of different types. The time stability of output current of these power supplies is directly influence on coherent radiation parameters, and operation of whole FEL facility. Therefore, system for diagnostics of power supplies state, integrated to common FEL control system, was developed. The main task of this system is to analyze output current of power supply, determinate its time stability value. Also this system is able to determinate the amplitude and frequency of output current ripples, if they have a place for particular power supply, and display obtained results. The main architecture, some other capabilities, and results of usage of this system, are described in this paper.
