	!CHAOS* (Control system based on Highly Abstracted and Open Structure) is now mature and is being employed in real operational contexts. A dedicated infrastructure, recently installed at the LNF Computer Centre, houses the framework and provides control services to different LNF installations. The !CHAOS native capability of fast storage, based on the use of a non-relational database, has been finalized and tested with applications demanding high bandwidth. Thanks to its scalable design, the fast storage allows to accommodate multiple sources with sub-millisecond timing. The EU (Execution Unit) node has also been delivered and turned out to be a "Swiss Army knife" for processing both live and stored data, inserting feedbacks and in general for correlating data acquired by the CU (Control Units) nodes. A key feature of the EU is a plugin mechanism that allows to easily integrate different programming and scripting languages such as LUA, C++, Python, also exploiting the ROOT framework, the well-known scientific tool from CERN. A comprehensive description of the !CHAOS evolution, of its performances and of its use, both in scientific and industrial contexts, is presented. * L. Catani et al, Phys. Rev. ST Accel.

WEP07	Innovative Graphical User Interfaces Development: Give the Power Back to Users	GUI, software, controls, radiation	44
	G. Segura, A. Ledeul, A. Savulescu, B. Styczen, D. Vazquez Rivera CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	GUI for supervision, control and data acquisition systems are usually oriented to specialist users. In big organizations like CERN, where different teams play the roles of operators, scientists and instrumentation specialists, providing a unique or static user interface usually results in a situation of dissatisfaction of everyone. On the other hand, providing distinct user interfaces for each type of user increases the development and maintenance effort and makes software evolution heavier. The approach taken for the design and development of GUIs for radiation and environment protection at CERN addressed this issue by integrating user interface changes as an embedded software functionality. Key users were provided with a tool to build, deploy and maintain their own tailor-made user interfaces, in a graphical way and without the necessity of learning any kind of programming or scripting languages. Other benefits observed from this solution include reduction of the resources spent on the support and maintenance and increase of the frequency of GUIs updates, executed without compromising the underlying control system. This paper describe the innovative design that was implemented.

	Funding: The authors would like to thank the Swiss National Science Foundation for the financial support. The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) is one of the detectors of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The ECAL Detector Control System (DCS) software has been implemented using the WinCC Open Architecture (OA) platform. Modifications that require fundamental changes in the architecture are deployed only during the LHC long shutdowns. The upcoming long shutdown (2019-2020) offers a unique opportunity to perform large software updates to achieve a higher modularity, enabling a faster adaptation to changes in the experiment environment. We present the main activities of the ECAL DCS upgrade plan, covering aspects such as the re-organization of the computing infrastructure, the consolidation of integration tools using virtualized environments and the further usage of centralized resources. CMS software toolkits are evaluated from the point of view of the standardization of important parts of the system, such as the machine protection mechanism and graphical user interfaces. Many of the presented features are currently being developed, serving as precursors to the major ECAL upgrade foreseen for the next long shutdown (~2024-2025).

	Funding: The authors would like to thank the Swiss National Science Foundation for the financial support. The CMS Detector Control System (DCS) is implemented as a large distributed and redundant system, with applications interacting and sharing data in multiple ways. The CMS XML-RPC is a software toolkit implementing the standard Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol, using the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) and a custom lightweight variant using the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) to model, encode and expose resources through the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The CMS XML-RPC toolkit complies with the standard specification of the XML-RPC protocol that allows system developers to build collaborative software architectures with self-contained and reusable logic, and with encapsulation of well-defined processes. The implementation of this protocol introduces not only a powerful communication method to operate and exchange data with web-based applications, but also a new programming paradigm to design service-oriented software architectures within the CMS DCS domain. This paper presents details of the CMS XML-RPC implementation in WinCC Open Architecture (OA) Control Language using an object-oriented approach.

	O.S. Shubina, A.I. Senchenko, P.Yu. Shatunov BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia A.I. Senchenko NSU, Novosibirsk, Russia
	In 2007, the creation of the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000 was completed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the SB RAS. VEPP-2000 collider facility consists of various subsystems, and a failure of any subsystem can lead to the incorrect operation of the complex for several hours or even days. Thus, there is a need to create software that, based on the data analysis, will warn about possible malfunctions. To accomplish the task, software was developed consisting of three modules. The first performs automatic verification of compliance data obtained from the accelerator complex and rules describing the correct subsystems operation. The second module is a user-friendly web interface that displays information about the state of the complex in a convenient way. The third module acts as some intermediary between the first and the second. It processes messages arriving at the message queue and redirects them to all subscribed clients via the web socket. This article is devoted to the development of test software, which is currently running on the VEPP-2000 control panel.

WEP28	Development of Software for Accessing the Vepp-2000 Collider Facility Archiving System	software, collider, controls, database	102
	O.S. Shubina, A.I. Senchenko, P.Yu. Shatunov BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia A.I. Senchenko NSU, Novosibirsk, Russia
	The VEPP-2000 is an electron-positron collider, that was commissioned at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The VEPP-2000 acceleration complex consists of a few main subsystems: BEP booster ring and VEPP-2000 collider ring. Data from accelerator complex are recorded regularly with a frequency at 1 Hz. There is often a need to obtain already stored data for analysis or modeling. In addition, you must provide remote data access to optimize the workflow. The solution of this problem must be universal, and it must be easily adapted to various databases and installation modes. To solve the task, the software was developed based on the client-server architecture. The server part is responsible for processing data in automatic mode according to the developed algorithm. The client part allows to view the data in a user-friendly form. This article talks about the development of software, simplifying access to the VEPP-2000 archiving system, that is launched on the VEPP-2000 control panel.

WEP31	Design of PLC Temperature Flow Acquisition System Based on EPICS	rfq, PLC, EPICS, controls	109
	H. Zheng, H. Cao, Y.X. Chen IMP/CAS, Lanzhou, People’s Republic of China
	In the design of the ADS injector II, the RFQ cavity holds a supreme status, and the RFQ temperature and flow information are the key parameters for the cavity frequency tuning. To ensure the long-term, stable and accurate acquisition of temperature flow data is the core task of control. In this paper, the PLC temperature flow acquisition system which is based on EPICS design was described, and the EPICS driver of this PLC was developed independently. The driver uses TCP/IP connection to EPICS IOC, and the communication protocol uses the "data block overall transmission protocol", to ensure the stability of the device’s data communications. After 3 months of long-term operation inspection, this acquisition system can ensure long-term and stable acquisition of real-time temperature and flow data of the equipment, and be able to send control information to related controlled equipment. In addition, redundant PLCs and redundant IOCs were adopted in this acquisition system to make the switch to alternate channels within milliseconds once a channel fails.

WEP32	The Design and Development of an Auto-conditioning SRF Cavities Software	SRF, GUI, cavity, EPICS	111
	H. Cao, Y.X. Chen IMP/CAS, Lanzhou, People’s Republic of China
	As one of the major components of ADS Injector II, SRF (Superconducting Radio Frequency) cavities are used to transmit the intense-beam proton reliably, stably and efficiently. Before starting the process of transmitting particle beams, SRF cavities are routinely conditioned to achieve its optimized status in the deliverable energy. The whole conditioning process is involved in various types of hardware devices and is also a heavy task for engineers to manually operate these equipment. In this paper, the software ANSC is presented in details, which is used to automatically condition SRF cavities. At the present, ANSC is in the stage of testing. During the testing, ANSC indeed can achieve comparative results compared with manually operated conditioning. Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000, China

THCB1	ACOP. NET : Not Just Another GUI Builder	controls, GUI, MMI, site	139
	J. Szczesny, P. Duval, M. Lomperski, H. Wu DESY, Hamburg, Germany J. Bobnar Cosylab, Ljubljana, Slovenia T. Kosuge KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	ACOP (Advanced Component Oriented Programming) tools have been useful in control system GUI application development for some time, originally as an ActiveX component offering a transport layer and a multi-faceted chart * and then later as a suite of components in the Java world *. We now present a set of ACOP components for development in .NET. And where the emphasis in the past has been primarily on rapid application development of rich clients, this new palette of components is designed both for fully featured rich-client development in any of the .NET supported languages (C#, C++, VB, F#) as well as for fully configurable clients (with design-time browsing), where no programming on the part of the developer is necessary, and of course for any combination between these extremes. This is an important point, which will become clear when we contrast application development with ACOP. NET with other control system GUI builders such as Control System Studio and jddd. Although Visual Studio is the GUI builder of choice, we will present other available options, for example on Linux. Examples using transport plugs for TINE and STARS will be given. I.

	T. Kosuge, H. Ishii, Y. Nagatani, H. Nitani KEK, Ibaraki, Japan P. Duval, J. Szczesny DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	STARS is an extremely simple and very flexible control software for small scale control systems with TCP/IP sockets, which is used as the beamline control system and so on at the KEK Photon Factory (KEK-PF). STARS works on various operating system and the STARS client developer can choose his or her favorite programing language. Choosing .NET is very common to develop GUI applications of beamline control at the KEK-PF. ACOP (Advanced Component Oriented Programming) is very useful for GUI development, which is developed by DESY and a .NET version of ACOP was recently developed. ACOP has a transport layer and communicate with various system through this layer. Now, we have started development of STARS transport layer of ACOP .NET and succeeded in adding very primitive functionality. The development of ACOP .NET STARS transport layer is still ongoing.

THCB3	Improving Web2cHMI Gesture Recognition Using Machine Learning	controls, toolkit, extraction, TANGO	148
	R. Bacher DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Web2cHMI is multi-modal human-machine interface which seamlessly incorporates actions based on various interface modalities in a single API, including finger, hand and head gestures as well as spoken commands. The set of native gestures provided by off-the-shelf 2D- or 3D-interface devices such as the Myo gesture control armband can be enriched or extended by additional custom gestures. This paper discusses a particular method and its implementation in recognizing different finger, hand and head movements using supervised machine learning algorithms including a non-linear regression for feature extraction of the movement and a k-nearest neighbor method for movement classification using memorized training data. The method is capable of distinguishing between fast and slow, short and long, up and down, or right and left linear as well as clockwise and counterclockwise circular movements, which can then be associated with specific user interactions.

	Recently the technology industry has been laying foundations for the eponymous Internet of Things (IoT): efficient publish-subscribe protocols; process control schemas for household items; and improved low-power radio communications. Accelerator controls and IoT have several aspects in common - small payloads, low latency, dashboard/synoptic data presentation format are some examples. The IoT now provides several open-source projects which can provide a partial implementation of one or more accelerator controls software features. Because development is typically a lower priority for accelerator controls groups, there is a valid case to try and utilise the free efforts of others for the benefit of accelerator controls. In this paper, the authors present examples of the use of IoT frameworks for synoptic display/GUI development. The work in this paper enables other developers to access this resource and experiment with their own systems.

THP10	Collimator Motion Control System Upgrade for Medical Linear Accelerator Project at SLRI	controls, software, FPGA, hardware	183
	R. Rujanakraikarn, P. Koonpong, S. Tesprasitte SLRI, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand
	A prototype of the 6-MeV medical linear accelerator has been under development at Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI). A set of secondary collimators is utilized with different size arrangement for beam shaping purpose. To produce the desired field size of the beam, the FPGA-based collimator motion control is designed in VHDL for simultaneous control of the collimators while the main PI control is implemented in the FPGA’s main processor. In this paper, hardware and software upgrades of the collimator motion control system are presented. A custom drive hardware for individual collimator is designed to implement with the existing FPGA controller board. Interface between the custom hardware parts and the FPGA’s programmable logic (PL) part is described. Communication between the motion control subsystem and the main LabVIEW control software on PC is modified to send and receive parameters wirelessly. Software modification of the FPGA’s main processor part and that of the LabVIEW GUI part is also reported.

THP23	Further Improvements in Power Supply Controller Transient Recorders for Post-Mortem Analysis of BPM Orbit Dumps at PETRA-III	controls, power-supply, operation, status	220
	P.K. Bartkiewicz, C. Gindler, G.K. Sahoo DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	PETRA-III is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source dedicated to users with 14 beamlines beginning operations in 2010. The storage ring was modified in 2014 for an additional 12 beamlines in two extensions. It is operated with several filling modes with 100mA at electron beam energy of 6 GeV. The horizontal beam emittance is 1.30 nmrad with 1% coupling. During a user run the Machine Protection System may trigger an unscheduled beam dump if transients in the magnet power supply (PS) currents are detected which are above permissible limits. PS controllers provide transient recorder data, showing differences between current set-point and readout values in a time span of several seconds around the moment of a beam loss. We describe automatic management system handling a large number of PSs, performing automatic transient recorder data readout, storing and available for offline analysis. We discuss hardware implementation of transient recorders and its configuration software, a Java GUI application used to investigate the transient behavior of different PSs, which might have been responsible for emittance growth, orbit fluctuations, or the beam dumps seen in a post-mortem analysis.

FRCB1	Ultra Fast Data Acquisition in ELI Beamlines	laser, FPGA, controls, data-acquisition	230
	P. Bastl Institute of Physics of the ASCR, Prague, Czech Republic V. Gaman, O. Janda, P. Pivonka, B. Plötzeneder, J. Sys, J. Trdlicka ELI-BEAMS, Prague, Czech Republic
	The ELI Beamlines facility is a Petawatt laser facility in the final construction and commissioning phase in Czech Republic. In fully operation phase, four lasers will be used to control beamlines in six experimental halls. In this paper we describe Ultra fast and distributed data acquisition system as was defined in ELI Beamlines. The data acquisition system is divided into two levels: central and local level. The central level data acquisition system defines a special Tier 0 RAM buffer. This buffer is based on special multi node data acquisition server which shares memory of all its nodes into one continuous space over low latency network technologies (Mellanox Infinband/Intel OmniPath). The main role of the Tier 0 buffer is to acquire first bunch and provide load balancing of incoming data. These data comes from many sources distributed along the experimental technologies. The local data acquisition system is then responsible for connection of local detectors to central data acquisition server through ROCE interface. The connection is done directly when supported or indirectly using local data acquisition computers (for PCIe etc.).

FRCB4	The Application for Fault Diagnosis and Prediction of Power Supply Control Device on BEPCII	electron, power-supply, simulation, operation	236
	J. Liu, D. Wang, J.C. Wang, X.L. Wang IHEP, Beijing, People’s Republic of China
	With the widely adoption of complex electronic devices and microcircuits in accelerator system, the probability of system failure and functional failure will be enlarged. For example, the fault of the magnet power supply front-end electronics devices may cause accelerator energy instability and even lead to beam loss. Therefore, it is very necessary to diagnose and locate the device fault accurately and rapidly, that will induce the high cost of the accelerator operation. Faults diagnosis and prediction can not only improve the safety and reliability of the equipment, but also effectively reduce the equipment’s cycle costing. We applied the FMECA and testability modeling method for the PSI device, which using in BEPCII power supply control system, and evaluated the remaining life of the PSI under certain temperature and humidity condition based on the reliability model and accelerated life test.

FRCC3	CERN Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition System for Radiation and Environmental Protection	radiation, monitoring, instrumentation, controls	248
	A. Ledeul, A. Savulescu, G. Segura, B. Styczen, D. Vazquez Rivera CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	The CERN Health, Safety and Environment Unit is mandated to provide a Radiation and Environment Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition system for all CERN accelerators, experiments as well as the environment. The operation and maintenance of the previous CERN radiation and environment supervisory systems showed some limitations in terms of flexibility and scalability. In order to face the increasing demand for radiation protection and continuously assess both conventional and radiological impacts on the environment, CERN developed and deployed a new supervisory system, called REMUS - Radiation and Environment Monitoring Unified Supervision. REMUS design and development focused on these desired features. REMUS interfaces with 75 device types, providing about 3,000 measurement channels (approximately 600, 000 tags) at the time of writing. This paper describes the architecture of the system, as well as the innovative design that was adopted in order to face the challenges of heterogeneous equipment interfacing, diversity of end users and continuous operation.

!CHAOS* (Control system based on Highly Abstracted and Open Structure) is now mature and is being employed in real operational contexts. A dedicated infrastructure, recently installed at the LNF Computer Centre, houses the framework and provides control services to different LNF installations. The !CHAOS native capability of fast storage, based on the use of a non-relational database, has been finalized and tested with applications demanding high bandwidth. Thanks to its scalable design, the fast storage allows to accommodate multiple sources with sub-millisecond timing. The EU (Execution Unit) node has also been delivered and turned out to be a "Swiss Army knife" for processing both live and stored data, inserting feedbacks and in general for correlating data acquired by the CU (Control Units) nodes. A key feature of the EU is a plugin mechanism that allows to easily integrate different programming and scripting languages such as LUA, C++, Python, also exploiting the ROOT framework, the well-known scientific tool from CERN. A comprehensive description of the !CHAOS evolution, of its performances and of its use, both in scientific and industrial contexts, is presented.

CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland

GUI for supervision, control and data acquisition systems are usually oriented to specialist users. In big organizations like CERN, where different teams play the roles of operators, scientists and instrumentation specialists, providing a unique or static user interface usually results in a situation of dissatisfaction of everyone. On the other hand, providing distinct user interfaces for each type of user increases the development and maintenance effort and makes software evolution heavier. The approach taken for the design and development of GUIs for radiation and environment protection at CERN addressed this issue by integrating user interface changes as an embedded software functionality. Key users were provided with a tool to build, deploy and maintain their own tailor-made user interfaces, in a graphical way and without the necessity of learning any kind of programming or scripting languages. Other benefits observed from this solution include reduction of the resources spent on the support and maintenance and increase of the frequency of GUIs updates, executed without compromising the underlying control system. This paper describe the innovative design that was implemented.

The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) is one of the detectors of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The ECAL Detector Control System (DCS) software has been implemented using the WinCC Open Architecture (OA) platform. Modifications that require fundamental changes in the architecture are deployed only during the LHC long shutdowns. The upcoming long shutdown (2019-2020) offers a unique opportunity to perform large software updates to achieve a higher modularity, enabling a faster adaptation to changes in the experiment environment. We present the main activities of the ECAL DCS upgrade plan, covering aspects such as the re-organization of the computing infrastructure, the consolidation of integration tools using virtualized environments and the further usage of centralized resources. CMS software toolkits are evaluated from the point of view of the standardization of important parts of the system, such as the machine protection mechanism and graphical user interfaces. Many of the presented features are currently being developed, serving as precursors to the major ECAL upgrade foreseen for the next long shutdown (~2024-2025).

The CMS Detector Control System (DCS) is implemented as a large distributed and redundant system, with applications interacting and sharing data in multiple ways. The CMS XML-RPC is a software toolkit implementing the standard Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol, using the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) and a custom lightweight variant using the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) to model, encode and expose resources through the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The CMS XML-RPC toolkit complies with the standard specification of the XML-RPC protocol that allows system developers to build collaborative software architectures with self-contained and reusable logic, and with encapsulation of well-defined processes. The implementation of this protocol introduces not only a powerful communication method to operate and exchange data with web-based applications, but also a new programming paradigm to design service-oriented software architectures within the CMS DCS domain. This paper presents details of the CMS XML-RPC implementation in WinCC Open Architecture (OA) Control Language using an object-oriented approach.

The Photon Factory is an accelerator-based light source facility, as a part of the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) Japan and STARS (Simple Transmission and Retrieval System) is used as the beamline control system at the Photon Factory. STARS is a message transferring software for small scale control systems with TCP/IP sockets, which works on various types of operating systems. STARS is effective for various control systems and we developed Vacuum Gauge Monitoring and Control System with STARS. Web2cToolkit is developed by DESY that provides a user-friendly interface and user can develop Web based GUIs easily with Web2cToolkit. Web2c supports various types of protocol (e. g. TINE, DOOCS, EPICS, TANGO etc.) and the STARS protocol has been supported. We decided to introduce Web2cToolkit as the GUI application on our vacuum gauge monitoring and control system and a few functions are implemented. The development is still in progress.

In 2007, the creation of the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000 was completed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the SB RAS. VEPP-2000 collider facility consists of various subsystems, and a failure of any subsystem can lead to the incorrect operation of the complex for several hours or even days. Thus, there is a need to create software that, based on the data analysis, will warn about possible malfunctions. To accomplish the task, software was developed consisting of three modules. The first performs automatic verification of compliance data obtained from the accelerator complex and rules describing the correct subsystems operation. The second module is a user-friendly web interface that displays information about the state of the complex in a convenient way. The third module acts as some intermediary between the first and the second. It processes messages arriving at the message queue and redirects them to all subscribed clients via the web socket. This article is devoted to the development of test software, which is currently running on the VEPP-2000 control panel.

The VEPP-2000 is an electron-positron collider, that was commissioned at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The VEPP-2000 acceleration complex consists of a few main subsystems: BEP booster ring and VEPP-2000 collider ring. Data from accelerator complex are recorded regularly with a frequency at 1 Hz. There is often a need to obtain already stored data for analysis or modeling. In addition, you must provide remote data access to optimize the workflow. The solution of this problem must be universal, and it must be easily adapted to various databases and installation modes. To solve the task, the software was developed based on the client-server architecture. The server part is responsible for processing data in automatic mode according to the developed algorithm. The client part allows to view the data in a user-friendly form. This article talks about the development of software, simplifying access to the VEPP-2000 archiving system, that is launched on the VEPP-2000 control panel.

In the design of the ADS injector II, the RFQ cavity holds a supreme status, and the RFQ temperature and flow information are the key parameters for the cavity frequency tuning. To ensure the long-term, stable and accurate acquisition of temperature flow data is the core task of control. In this paper, the PLC temperature flow acquisition system which is based on EPICS design was described, and the EPICS driver of this PLC was developed independently. The driver uses TCP/IP connection to EPICS IOC, and the communication protocol uses the "data block overall transmission protocol", to ensure the stability of the device’s data communications. After 3 months of long-term operation inspection, this acquisition system can ensure long-term and stable acquisition of real-time temperature and flow data of the equipment, and be able to send control information to related controlled equipment. In addition, redundant PLCs and redundant IOCs were adopted in this acquisition system to make the switch to alternate channels within milliseconds once a channel fails.

As one of the major components of ADS Injector II, SRF (Superconducting Radio Frequency) cavities are used to transmit the intense-beam proton reliably, stably and efficiently. Before starting the process of transmitting particle beams, SRF cavities are routinely conditioned to achieve its optimized status in the deliverable energy. The whole conditioning process is involved in various types of hardware devices and is also a heavy task for engineers to manually operate these equipment. In this paper, the software ANSC is presented in details, which is used to automatically condition SRF cavities. At the present, ANSC is in the stage of testing. During the testing, ANSC indeed can achieve comparative results compared with manually operated conditioning.

ACOP (Advanced Component Oriented Programming) tools have been useful in control system GUI application development for some time, originally as an ActiveX component offering a transport layer and a multi-faceted chart * and then later as a suite of components in the Java world **. We now present a set of ACOP components for development in .NET. And where the emphasis in the past has been primarily on rapid application development of rich clients, this new palette of components is designed both for fully featured rich-client development in any of the .NET supported languages (C#, C++, VB, F#) as well as for fully configurable clients (with design-time browsing), where no programming on the part of the developer is necessary, and of course for any combination between these extremes. This is an important point, which will become clear when we contrast application development with ACOP. NET with other control system GUI builders such as Control System Studio and jddd. Although Visual Studio is the GUI builder of choice, we will present other available options, for example on Linux. Examples using transport plugs for TINE and STARS will be given.

STARS is an extremely simple and very flexible control software for small scale control systems with TCP/IP sockets, which is used as the beamline control system and so on at the KEK Photon Factory (KEK-PF). STARS works on various operating system and the STARS client developer can choose his or her favorite programing language. Choosing .NET is very common to develop GUI applications of beamline control at the KEK-PF. ACOP (Advanced Component Oriented Programming) is very useful for GUI development, which is developed by DESY and a .NET version of ACOP was recently developed. ACOP has a transport layer and communicate with various system through this layer. Now, we have started development of STARS transport layer of ACOP .NET and succeeded in adding very primitive functionality. The development of ACOP .NET STARS transport layer is still ongoing.

DESY, Hamburg, Germany

Web2cHMI is multi-modal human-machine interface which seamlessly incorporates actions based on various interface modalities in a single API, including finger, hand and head gestures as well as spoken commands. The set of native gestures provided by off-the-shelf 2D- or 3D-interface devices such as the Myo gesture control armband can be enriched or extended by additional custom gestures. This paper discusses a particular method and its implementation in recognizing different finger, hand and head movements using supervised machine learning algorithms including a non-linear regression for feature extraction of the movement and a k-nearest neighbor method for movement classification using memorized training data. The method is capable of distinguishing between fast and slow, short and long, up and down, or right and left linear as well as clockwise and counterclockwise circular movements, which can then be associated with specific user interactions.

Recently the technology industry has been laying foundations for the eponymous Internet of Things (IoT): efficient publish-subscribe protocols; process control schemas for household items; and improved low-power radio communications. Accelerator controls and IoT have several aspects in common - small payloads, low latency, dashboard/synoptic data presentation format are some examples. The IoT now provides several open-source projects which can provide a partial implementation of one or more accelerator controls software features. Because development is typically a lower priority for accelerator controls groups, there is a valid case to try and utilise the free efforts of others for the benefit of accelerator controls. In this paper, the authors present examples of the use of IoT frameworks for synoptic display/GUI development. The work in this paper enables other developers to access this resource and experiment with their own systems.

A prototype of the 6-MeV medical linear accelerator has been under development at Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI). A set of secondary collimators is utilized with different size arrangement for beam shaping purpose. To produce the desired field size of the beam, the FPGA-based collimator motion control is designed in VHDL for simultaneous control of the collimators while the main PI control is implemented in the FPGA’s main processor. In this paper, hardware and software upgrades of the collimator motion control system are presented. A custom drive hardware for individual collimator is designed to implement with the existing FPGA controller board. Interface between the custom hardware parts and the FPGA’s programmable logic (PL) part is described. Communication between the motion control subsystem and the main LabVIEW control software on PC is modified to send and receive parameters wirelessly. Software modification of the FPGA’s main processor part and that of the LabVIEW GUI part is also reported.

PETRA-III is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source dedicated to users with 14 beamlines beginning operations in 2010. The storage ring was modified in 2014 for an additional 12 beamlines in two extensions. It is operated with several filling modes with 100mA at electron beam energy of 6 GeV. The horizontal beam emittance is 1.30 nmrad with 1% coupling. During a user run the Machine Protection System may trigger an unscheduled beam dump if transients in the magnet power supply (PS) currents are detected which are above permissible limits. PS controllers provide transient recorder data, showing differences between current set-point and readout values in a time span of several seconds around the moment of a beam loss. We describe automatic management system handling a large number of PSs, performing automatic transient recorder data readout, storing and available for offline analysis. We discuss hardware implementation of transient recorders and its configuration software, a Java GUI application used to investigate the transient behavior of different PSs, which might have been responsible for emittance growth, orbit fluctuations, or the beam dumps seen in a post-mortem analysis.

The ELI Beamlines facility is a Petawatt laser facility in the final construction and commissioning phase in Czech Republic. In fully operation phase, four lasers will be used to control beamlines in six experimental halls. In this paper we describe Ultra fast and distributed data acquisition system as was defined in ELI Beamlines. The data acquisition system is divided into two levels: central and local level. The central level data acquisition system defines a special Tier 0 RAM buffer. This buffer is based on special multi node data acquisition server which shares memory of all its nodes into one continuous space over low latency network technologies (Mellanox Infinband/Intel OmniPath). The main role of the Tier 0 buffer is to acquire first bunch and provide load balancing of incoming data. These data comes from many sources distributed along the experimental technologies. The local data acquisition system is then responsible for connection of local detectors to central data acquisition server through ROCE interface. The connection is done directly when supported or indirectly using local data acquisition computers (for PCIe etc.).

With the widely adoption of complex electronic devices and microcircuits in accelerator system, the probability of system failure and functional failure will be enlarged. For example, the fault of the magnet power supply front-end electronics devices may cause accelerator energy instability and even lead to beam loss. Therefore, it is very necessary to diagnose and locate the device fault accurately and rapidly, that will induce the high cost of the accelerator operation. Faults diagnosis and prediction can not only improve the safety and reliability of the equipment, but also effectively reduce the equipment’s cycle costing. We applied the FMECA and testability modeling method for the PSI device, which using in BEPCII power supply control system, and evaluated the remaining life of the PSI under certain temperature and humidity condition based on the reliability model and accelerated life test.

The CERN Health, Safety and Environment Unit is mandated to provide a Radiation and Environment Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition system for all CERN accelerators, experiments as well as the environment. The operation and maintenance of the previous CERN radiation and environment supervisory systems showed some limitations in terms of flexibility and scalability. In order to face the increasing demand for radiation protection and continuously assess both conventional and radiological impacts on the environment, CERN developed and deployed a new supervisory system, called REMUS - Radiation and Environment Monitoring Unified Supervision. REMUS design and development focused on these desired features. REMUS interfaces with 75 device types, providing about 3,000 measurement channels (approximately 600, 000 tags) at the time of writing. This paper describes the architecture of the system, as well as the innovative design that was adopted in order to face the challenges of heterogeneous equipment interfacing, diversity of end users and continuous operation.
