| Popis: | The accelerator production of tritium (APT) Low Energy Demonstration Accelerator (LEDA) is a CW linac comprised of a 75 KV, 110 mA H/sup +/ injector, followed by an 8 m long, 350 MHz, 6.7 MeV RFQ, a short beam transport section and a cooled beam dump. The control system is based upon the popular EPICS distributed control system toolkit. In addition to monitoring and control of the injector, vacuum systems, resonance control loops, high power radio-frequency system, beam control magnet power supplies and beam instrumentation, the control system performs overall timing and synchronisation and equipment protection functions. There are a total of 12 distributed input-output controllers (IOCs) which are VME-, VXI- or PC-based. This paper reports on experience with the new PC-based IOCs, with interfaces to vendor-supplied programmable logic controllers, with a new archiver developed for this application, and discusses a number of lessons learned. |
