	Funding: ELI-ALPS is supported by the European Union and cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund (GOP-1.1.1-12/B-2012-000, GINOP-2.3.6-15-2015-00001) ELI-ALPS will be the first large-scale attosecond facility accessible to the international scientific community and its user groups. The facility-wide Personnel Safety System (PSS) has been successfully developed and commissioned for the majority of the laboratories. The system has three major goals. First, it provides safe and automatic sensing and interlocking engineering measures as well as monitoring and controlling interfaces for all laboratories in Building A: emergency stop buttons, interlock and enabling signals, door and roller blind sensors, and entrance control. Second, it integrates and monitors the research technology equipment delivered by external parties as black-box systems (all laser systems, and some others). Third, it includes the PSS subsystems of research technology equipment developed on site by in-house and external experts (some of the secondary sources). The gradual development of the system is based on the relevant standards and best practices of functional safety as well as on an iterative and systematic lifecycle incorporating several internal and external reviews. The system is implemented with an easily maintainable network of safety PLCs.

MOPHA091	ESS MEBT Control System Integration	controls, EPICS, MEBT, PLC	421

	The high power linac of European Spallation Source, ESS (Lund, Sweden), accelerates 62.5 mA of protons up to 2 GeV in a sequence of normal conducting and superconducting accelerating structures. The Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line has been designed tested and mounted at ESS Bilbao premises to guarantee tight requirements are met. The main purpose of this 3.62 MeV MEBT is to match the RFQ output beam characteristics to the DTL input requirements both transversally using quadrupoles, and longitudinally RF buncher cavities. Additionally, the beam is also cleaned by efficient use of halo scrapers and pulse shape by means of a fast chopper. Besides, beam characterization (beam current, pulse shape, size, emittance) is performed using a comprehensive set of diagnostics. Therefore, firstly, control integration of magnets and steerers power supplies, for quadrupoles, as well as synchronism, triggering, linked to high voltage pulsers within the chopper control, is part of the commitment for the present work. Secondly, the control developments of beam instruments such as Faraday Cup and Emittance Meter Unit will be described. All the integrations are based on ESS EPICS environment.

WEDPR03	Synoptic GUIs in NSRC SOLARIS for Beamlines and Accelerators Visualization and Control	controls, optics, TANGO, operation	982
	M.K. Falowski, T.R. Noga, N. Olszowska, M. Zając NSRC SOLARIS, Kraków, Poland
	High demand from scientists and operators to create new, clear and intuitive SCADA graphical interfaces for new beamlines and replace or supplement existing beamlines’ and accelerators’ graphical user interfaces is a challenging task. This is not only time consuming but very often requirements from users vary, change quickly and even sometimes they are mutually exclusive. To meet this challenge and provide clear, scalable and ergonomic graphical user interfaces, SOLARIS chose ’Taurus’ and ’svgsynoptic2’ to create synoptic applications which allow to visualize and control beamlines and accelerators with ease. In addition, it was decided to use identical scheme of visualization and control for synoptic applications on all beamlines, so scientists can get used to it, even if they carry out research on different beamlines. This paper presents the overall architecture and functionality of the applications.

THCPL06	Introducing Big Data Analysis in a Proton Therapy Facility to Reduce Technical Downtime	proton, controls, status, EPICS	1608
	P. Fernandez Carmona, Z. Chowdhuri, S.G. Ebner, F. Gagnon-Moisan, M. Grossmann, J. Snuverink, D.C. Weber PSI, Villigen PSI, Switzerland
	At the center for Proton Therapy of the Paul Scherrer Institute about 450 cancer patients are treated yearly using accelerated protons in three treatment areas. The facility is active since 1984 and for each patient we keep detailed log files containing machine measurements during each fraction of the treatment, which we analyze daily to guarantee dose and position values within the prescribed tolerances. Furthermore, each control and safety system generates textual log files as well as periodic measurements such as pressure, temperature, beam intensity, magnetic fields or reaction time of components. This adds up currently to approximately 5 GB per day. Downtime of the facility is both inconvenient for patients and staff, as well as financially relevant. This article describes how we have extended our data analysis strategies using machine archived parameters and online measurements to understand interdependencies, to perform preventive maintenance of ageing components and to optimize processes. We have chosen Python to interface, structure and analyze the different data sources in an standardized manner. The online channels have been accessed via an EPICS archiver.
