TCO101	Benefits, Drawbacks and Challenges During a Collaborative Development of a Settings Management System for CERN and GSI	controls, operation, software, framework	126
	R. Müller, J. Fitzek, H.C. Hüther GSI, Darmstadt, Germany G. Kruk CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The settings management system LSA (LHC Software Architecture) was originally developed for the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). For FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) a renovation of the GSI control system was necessary. When it was decided in 2008 to use the LSA system for settings management for FAIR, the middle management of the two institutes agreed on a collaborative development. This paper highlights the insights gained during the collaboration, from three different perspectives: organizational aspects of the collaboration, like roles that have been established, planned procedures, the preparation of a formal contract and social aspects to keep people working as a team across institutes. It also shows technical benefits and drawbacks that arise from the collaboration for both institutes as well as challenges that are encountered during development. Furthermore, it provides an insight into aspects of the collaboration which were easy to establish and which still take time.

Mishra, C.P. Navathe, K. Saifee, M. Seema, Y.M. Sheth, B.S.K. Srivastava, R. Yadav RRCAT, Indore (M.P.), India
	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.

FPO009	HLS Power Supply Control System Based on Virtual Machine	controls, power-supply, interface, software	176
	J.G. Wang, C. Li, G. Liu, K. Xuan USTC/NSRL, Hefei, Anhui, People's Republic of China
	The Hefei Light Source (HLS) is a VUV synchrotron radiation light source. It is upgraded recently to improve its performance. The power supply control system is a part of the HLS upgrade project. Five soft IOC applications running on the virtual machine are used to control 190 power supplies via MOXA's serial-to-Ethernet device servers. The power supply control system has been under operation since November 2013, and the operation results show the power supply control system is reliable and can satisfy the demands of slow orbit feedback with the frequency of 1Hz.
