	The control system for the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) accelerator facility is presently under development and implementation. The FAIR accelerators will extend the present GSI accelerator chain, then being used as injector, and provide anti-proton, ion, and rare isotope beams with unprecedented intensity and quality for a variety of research programs. This paper shortly summarizes the general status of the FAIR project and focusses on the progress of the control system design and its implementation. The poster presents the general system architecture and updates on the status of major building blocks of the control system. We highlight the control system implementation efforts for CRYRING, a new accelerator presently under recommissioning at GSI, which will serve as a test-ground for the complete control system stack and evaluation of the new controls concepts.

WPO005	Progress and Challenges during the Development of the Settings Management System for FAIR	operation, controls, framework, database	40
	H.C. Hüther, J. Fitzek, R. Müller, D. Ondreka GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	A few years into development of the new control system for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), a first version of the new settings management system is available. As a basis, the CERN LSA framework (LHC Software Architecture) is being used and enhanced in collaboration between GSI and CERN. New aspects, like flexible cycle lengths, have already been introduced while concepts for other requirements, like parallel beam operation at FAIR, are being developed. At SIS18, LSA settings management is currently being utilized for testing new machine models and operation modes relevant for FAIR. Based upon experience with SIS18, a generic model for ring accelerators has been created that will be used throughout the new facility. It will also be deployed for commissioning and operation of CRYRING by the end of 2014. During development, new challenges came up. To ease collaboration, the LSA code base has been split into common and institute specific modules. An equivalent solution for the database level is still to be found. Besides technical issues, a data-driven system like LSA requires high-quality data. To ensure this, organizational processes need to be put in place at GSI.

WPO011	Vacuum Interlock Control System for EMBL Beamlines at PETRA III	vacuum, controls, PLC, interface	57
	A. Kolozhvari, S. Fiedler, U. Ristau EMBL, Hamburg, Germany
	A vacuum interlock system is developed for EMBL beamlines at PETRA-III facility. It runs on Beckhoff PLC and protects instruments by closing corresponding vacuum valves and beam shutters when pressure exceeds a safety threshold. Communication with PETRA-III interlock system is implemented via digital I/O connections. The system is integrated in the EMBL beamlines control via TINE and supplies data to archive and alarm subsystems. A LabVIEW client, operating in TINE environment, provides graphical user interface for the vacuum interlock system control and data representation.

TCO201	Managing the FAIR Control System Development	controls, project-management, storage-ring, hardware	135
	R. Bär, F. Ameil GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	After years of careful preparation and planning, construction and implementation works for the new international accelerator complex FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) at GSI have seriously been started. The FAIR accelerators will extend the present GSI accelerator chain, then being used as injector, and provide anti-proton, ion, and rare isotope beams with unprecedented intensity and quality for a variety of research programs. The accelerator control system for the FAIR complex is presently being designed and developed by the GSI Controls group with a team of about 50 soft- and hardware developers, complemented by an international in-kind contribution from the FAIR member state Slovenia. This paper presents requirements and constraints from being a large and international project and focusses on the organizational and project management strategies and tools for the control system subproject. This includes the project communication, design methodology, release cycle planning, testing strategies and ensuring technical integrity and coherence of the whole system during the full project phase.
