	T. Kosuge, Y. Nagatani KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	STARS (Simple Transmission and Retrieval System) [1] is extremely simple and useful software for small-scale control systems and it runs on various operating system. STARS consists of client programs (STARS clients) and a server (STARS server) program. Each client is connected to the server via a TCP/IP socket and each client and the server communicate with text based message. STARS is used for various system at the KEK Photon Factory (beamline control system, experimental hall access control system, key handling system etc.) and development of stars (development many kind of STARS clients, interconnection of Web2c [2] and STARS etc.) is still going. We will describe current development status of STARS. [1] http://stars.kek.jp/ [2] http://adweb.desy.de/mcs/web2cToolkit/web2c_home.htm

	Y. Nagatani, T. Kosuge KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	STARS is a message transferring software for small-scale control systems originally developed at the Photon Factory. It has a server-client architecture using TCP/IP sockets and can work on various types of operating systems. Since the Photon Factory adopted STARS as a common beamline control software, we have developed beamline control system which controls optical devices (mirror, monochrometer etc.). We developed also various system and softwares, such as information delivering system of Photon Factory ring status based on STARS and TINE or measurement softwares based on the STARS, for the Photon Factory beamlines. Now many kinds of useful STARS applications (device clients, simple data acquisitions, user interfaces etc.) are available. We will describe the development and installation status of the STARS-based beamline system and softwares.

	M. Wang, J.M. Dong, M. Li, H. Luo, R.S. Mao, T.C. Zhao IMP, Lanzhou, People's Republic of China
	The establishment of data model is more abundant based on OPC UA (Unified Architecture) technology, which has good platform independence and high reliability. Thus it becomes a new direction in the field of data exchange of industrial control. In this paper, the motion control model based on redundant ring network is built by using NI 3110 industrial controller and servo motors. And the data structures used in parallel communication between the host computer and multi terminal motors are designed by using OPC UA technology. So the problem of data exchange between the RT system of lower controller and the Windows system of upper computer is solved better.

	Funding: ANKA Synchrotron Light Source, KIT, Karlsruhe The control system of the ANKA synchrotron radiation source at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) is adopting new, and converting old, devices into an EPICS control system. New GUI panels are developed in Control System Studio (CSS). EPICS alarming capabilities in connection with the BEAST alarm server tool-kit from the CSS bundle are used as an alarming solution. To accommodate ANKA future requirements as well as ANKA legacy solutions, we have decided to extend the basic functionality of BEAST with additional features in order to manage the alarming for different machine operation states. Since the database of alarm sources is been populated from scratch, we have been able take fresh approach in management and creation of alarm sources to build-up alarm trees. New alarm system is being used, tested and refined and future developed in production environment since end of 2013.

	In CERN accelerators, high vacuum is needed in the beam pipes and for thermal isolation of cryogenic equipment. The first element in the chain of vacuum production is the pumping group. It is composed of a primary pump, a turbo-molecular pump and a few isolation and intermediate valves; as optional devices we can also find: vacuum gauges, venting valves and leak detection valves. At CERN accelerators, the pumping groups controllers may be found in several hardware configurations, depending on the environment and on the vacuum system used; all of them are based on PLCs and communicate over a field bus; they are controlled by the same flexible and portable software. They are remotely accessed through a SCADA application and can be locally controlled by the same mobile touch-panel. More than 250 pumping groups are permanently installed in the Large Hardron Collider, Linacs or North Area Experiments.
