Experience controlling the LAMPF-PSR Accelerator Complex
Abstract
In recent years, control system efforts at LAMPF have emphasized the provision of uniform control for the LAMPF linear accelerator and associated beam lines and the Proton Storage Ring and its associated beam lines. The situation is complicated by the presence of several control philosophies in the operator interfaces, data base mechanisms, and front end data acquisition and control interfaces. This paper describes the current system configuration, including the distributed operator interfaces, the data and control sharing between systems, and the use of common accelerator diagnostic software tools. Successes as well as deficiencies of the present system will be discussed with an eye toward future developments.
