The Ad­vanced Pho­ton Source (APS), now under con­struc­tion at Ar­gonne Na­tional Lab­o­ra­tory (ANL), is a 7 GeV positron stor­age ring ded­i­cated to re­search fa­cil­i­ties using syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion. This ring, along with its in­jec­tion ac­cel­er­a­tors is to be con­trolled and mon­i­tored with a sin­gle, flex­i­ble, and ex­pand­able con­trol sys­tem. In the con­cep­tual stage the con­trol sys­tem de­sign group faced the chal­lenges that face all con­trol sys­tem de­sign­ers: (1) to force the ma­chine de­sign­ers to quan­tify and cod­ify the sys­tem re­quire­ments, (2) to pro­tect the in­vest­ment in hard­ware and soft­ware from rapid ob­so­les­cence, and (3) to find meth­ods of quickly in­cor­po­rat­ing new gen­er­a­tions of equip­ment and re­place ob­so­lete equip­ment with­out dis­rupt­ing the ex­ist­ing sys­tem. To solve these and re­lated prob­lems, the APS con­trol sys­tem group made an early res­o­lu­tion to use stan­dards in the de­sign of the sys­tem. This paper will cover the pre­sent sta­tus of the APS con­trol sys­tem as well as dis­cuss the de­sign de­ci­sions which led us to use in­dus­trial stan­dards and col­lab­o­ra­tions with other lab­o­ra­to­ries when­ever pos­si­ble to de­velop a con­trol sys­tem.
