	At a time when virtually all accelerator control systems were custom developments for each individual laboratory, an idea emerged from a meeting between the Los Alamos National Laboratory developers of the Ground Test Accelerator Control System and those tasked to design the control system for the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. In a joint effort, the GTACS toolkit concept morphed into the beginnings of a powerful toolkit for building control systems for scientific facilities. From this humble beginning the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) Collaboration quickly grew. EPICS is now used as a framework for control systems for scientific facilities on seven continents. The EPICS Collaboration started from a dedicated group of developers with very different ideas. This software continues to meet the increasingly challenging requirements for new facilities. This paper is a retrospective look at the creation and evolution of a collaboration that has grown for thirty years, with a look ahead to the future.

MOPHA026	Development of an Online Diagnostic Toolkit for the UPC Control System	EPICS, status, diagnostics, controls	246

	Most IOC (Input Output Controller) platforms and servers at the TPS control system have been connected to uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent short downtime of the mains electricity. To accomplish higher availability, it is necessary to maintain batteries and circuits for the UPS system periodically. Thus, an online diagnostic toolkit had to be developed to monitor the status of the UPS system and to notify which abnormal components should be replaced. One dedicated EPICS IOC has been implemented to communicate with each UPS device via SNMP. The PV states of the UPS system are published and archived and specific graphical applications are designed to show the existing control environment via EPICS CA (Channel Access). This paper reports the development of an online diagnostic toolkit for the UPS System.

	Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) and Taiwan light source (TLS) have been operated in the same time. TPS is a 3 GeV electron energy, 518 m circumference, low-emittance synchrotron storage ring which will offer one of the synchrotron x-ray sources, provide cutting-edge experimental facilities and novel multidisciplinary scientific research. TLS is a 1.5 Gev electron energy. The control system is difference between two facilities. Amount of instruments and devices these must be monitored and controlled by operator. The difference diagnostic tools will be difficult to operate and analysis between two system. These utility toolkits are effective to reduce operator loading. However, these tools are developed with same concept, combined with two difference machine is effective and reduce maintenance efforts. These applications of software will be reported in this conference.

WESH2001	CS-Studio Alarm System Based on Kafka	GUI, interface, controls, vacuum	1504
	K.-U. Kasemir ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under contract number DE-AC05-00OR22725. The CS-Studio alarm system was originally based on a relational database and the Apache ActiveMQ message service. The former was necessary to store configuration and state, while the latter communicated state updates and user actions. In a recent update, the combination of relational database and ActiveMQ have been replaced by Apache Kafka. We present how this simplified the implementation while at the same time improving performance.
