Popis: The first accelerator based research facility of Turkey-TARLA is under commissioning at Institute of Accelerator Technologies of Ankara University. It is designed to generate free electron laser and Bremsstrahlung radiation using up to 40 MeV continuous wave (CW) electron beam. The control system of TARLA is based on EPICS and are being tested offline. TARLA also has industrial control systems such as PLC based cryoplant and water cooling system. Its control system is under development, it benefits from the latest version of EPICS framework, i.e. V7. In other words, TARLA control system uses existing demonstrated tools of EPICSV3 as well as pvAccess which comes with EPICSv4 for transferring the large data through control network. Archive (CSS BEAUTY) and alarm (CSS BEAST) system have been set up to detect stability and prevent failures. Operator interfaces have been designed using CSS BOY. Currently, CCDs, PSS (Personel Safety System), MPS (Machine Protection System), Superconductive Cavities, RF Amplifiers, microTCA based LLRF system are being integrated into distributed control system. In this proceeding we summarize the current status and future plans of TARLA control system.
