The ELI Beam­lines fa­cil­ity is a Petawatt laser fa­cil­ity in the final con­struc­tion and com­mis­sion­ing phase in Prague, Czech Re­pub­lic. The cen­tral con­trol sys­tem con­nects and con­trols more than 40 com­plex sub­sys­tems (lasers, beam trans­port, beam­lines, ex­per­i­ments, fa­cil­ity sys­tems, safety sys­tems) with hun­dreds of cam­eras. For this, a com­pre­hen­sive set of stan­dard so­lu­tions is pro­vided: Hard­ware in­ter­face stan­dards guar­an­tee ad-hoc soft­ware in­te­gra­tion, for com­monly used mod­els, stan­dard­ised aux­il­iary hard­ware (trig­ger­ing: op­ti­cal/TTL, power sup­plies) is avail­able. In­for­ma­tion on key pa­ra­me­ters (vac­uum com­pat­i­bil­ity, noise lev­els) is col­lected. 95% of cam­eras are in­ter­faced using an ven­dor-in­de­pen­dent C+±SDK. Ex­cep­tions are only made for spe­cial de­tec­tors (for ex­am­ple: wave­front sen­sors, x-ray cam­eras). By using a strict model-based ap­proach and a com­po­nent-based de­sign, all cam­eras and 2D-de­tec­tors can be con­trolled with the same C+±API. This leads to stan­dard­ized GUIs, TANGO-servers,..

  The ELI Beam­lines fa­cil­ity is a Petawatt laser fa­cil­ity in the final con­struc­tion and com­mis­sion­ing phase in Prague, Czech Re­pub­lic. End 2017, a first ex­per­i­ment will be per­formed. In the end, four lasers will be used to con­trol beam­lines in six ex­per­i­men­tal halls. The cen­tral con­trol sys­tem con­nects and con­trols more than 40 com­plex sub­sys­tems (lasers, beam trans­port, beam­lines, ex­per­i­ments, fa­cil­ity sys­tems, safety sys­tems), with high de­mands on net­work, syn­chro­ni­sa­tion, data ac­qui­si­tion, and data pro­cess­ing. It re­lies on a net­work based on more than 15.000 fi­bres, which is used for stan­dard tech­nol­ogy con­trol (Pow­er­Link over fibre and stan­dard Eth­er­net), tim­ing (Whit­eR­ab­bit) and ded­i­cated high-through­put data ac­qui­si­tion. Tech­nol­ogy con­trol is im­ple­mented on stan­dard in­dus­trial plat­forms (B&R) in com­bi­na­tion with uTCA for more de­mand­ing ap­pli­ca­tions. The data ac­qui­si­tion sys­tem is in­ter­con­nected via In­fini­band, with an op­tion to in­te­grate Om­ni­Path. Most con­trol hard­ware in­stal­la­tions are com­pleted, and many sub­sys­tems are al­ready suc­cess­fully in op­er­a­tion. An overview and sta­tus will be given.
