  At the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) there are many different ultra-high vacuum system configurations on the unique beamline end-stations. The proposed controls solution attempts to capture the requirements of all of these configurations with a single standard logic and graphical user interface. Additional design considerations include: resource management for multiple users, providing a high level of abstraction to simplify operation for users, providing a high level of flexibility to do non-standard operations, minimizing shock from pressure differentials when opening valves, supporting a variety of pumps, and maximizing pump lifetime. At NSLS-II it was determined that all vacuum configurations can be captured by the composition of three standard objects: a "rough vacuum group", and "high vacuum group", and a "smart vacuum manifold" which implements a blocking queue. These objects can be flexibly linked together to meet the needs of the beamline experiments. This solution is platform independent, but implemented and tested here using Pfeiffer vacuum pumps, Allen Bradley PLC, EPICS, and Control System Studio (CSS).

  The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a 3 GeV storage ring. A NI C-RIO controller, basic to the real-time, EPICS program, is used and designed such as to maintain ultra-high vacuum conditions and protect vacuum components. Pressure readings from ionization gauges are taken as the logic signal to control sector gate valves to protect ultra-high vacuum condition. Monitoring of vacuum components, water-cooling systems and chamber temperatures serves to protect vacuum equipment from radiation power. The evolution and status of the control system is presented in this paper.

  The Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) was built to test and to optimize sources of high brightness electron beams for Free-Electron Lasers (FELs). In order to achieve high accelerating gradients and long RF pulse lengths in the RF gun cavities an extensive and safe RF conditioning is required. A State Machine based Automatic Conditioning application (SMAC) was developed to automate the RF conditioning processes, allowing for greater efficiency and performance optimization. SMAC is written in Java and uses State Chart XML (SCXML) as the finite-state machine execution environment based on Harel statecharts. It employs the Distributed Object-Oriented Control System (DOOCS) and Three-fold Integrated Networking Environment (TINE) for the communication with the control system of PITZ. The graphical user interface (GUI) is created by using the Java Swing toolkit. Communication between GUI and SXML processing layer is performed via Document Object Model (DOM) events. The SMAC application has been successfully applied to RF conditioning of several gun cavities at PITZ.

  The technology upgrade that represents Tango 9 has triggered the evolution of two of the most used Tango tools, the PANIC Alarm System and the HDB++ Archiving. This paper presents the status of the collaboration between Alba and Elettra Synchrotron sources for the convergence of its both alarms systems under the IEC62682 standard, and the usage of HDB++ tools for logging and diagnostic of alarms. Relevant use cases from the user point of view has been added to the paper as a validation of the benefits of this control system evolution.

WEP26 The Development of Vacuum Gauge Monitoring and Control System using Web2CToolkit controls, monitoring, interface, software 96

  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.
