  LCLS-II is a superconducting upgrade to the existing Linear Coherent Light Source at SLAC with a continuous wave beam rate of up to 1 MHz. Construction is underway with first light planned for 2020. The LCLS-II Injector section that comprises low energy from the gun up to the location of the first cryomodule is based on the LBNL Advanced Photo-Injector Experiment (APEX), and is being provided by LBNL. In 2015, responsibility for controls design and fabrication was transferred to SLAC from LBNL to promote commonality with the rest of the LCLS-II control subsystems. Collaboration between the LBNL APEX controls community and SLAC LCSL-II controls team proved vital in advancing the controls architecture toward standardized implementations integrated with the rest of LCLS-II. An added challenge was a decision to commission the injector ~1.5 years ahead of the rest of the machine, in FY 2018. This early injector commissioning (EIC) is embraced as an opportunity to gain valuable experience with the majority of the LCLS-II controls, especially the 1MHz high performance subsystems (HPS), prior to first light.

  STFC Daresbury Laboratory is currently commissioning Phase I of CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications), a novel FEL (Free Electron Laser) test facility focused on the generation of ultra-short photon pulses of coherent light with high levels of stability and synchronization. In order to maintain phase stability the CLARA gun requires a precision water temperature control system to maintain a gun cavity temperature within 0.028°C. This is achieved by mixing two water circuits with temperatures close to the desired set point. Two temperature measurement systems were evaluated for precision and reliability, the resultant system uses a single Omron PLC which provides all the precision read back and control loops. High resolution input modules and averaging achieve precision temperature monitoring while two PID loops control the coarse and fine temperature control. EPICS control is achieved using the FINS protocol communicating with a Linux IOC. This paper gives details of the system requirements and implementation and also describes initial results.
