  4. IOC Soft IOC IOC Soft IOC VME Linux PC SESAME • General Architecture Layer one: Device Input/Output Layer, which is the layer that connects the actual hardware. This layer could be presented by a physical connection to the accelerators subsystem signals. Layer two: The processing layer, which could be described in SESAME control system architecture by distributed VME crates or soft IOC’s (Linux box). In this layer the data being read/write from/to the accelerator subsystems is processed. Layer three: This layer could be described by the channel access that will transfer the data from and to the control room, this layer also represented by any graphical user interface GUI applications running a Linux machines in the control room.

  40. SESAME • Storage Ring Control System • Booster control system will be a good practice for us to evaluate our work to have similar system for the SR. • We will keep using virtualization for control servers. • We will use SIEMENS PLC widely for the Interlock signals. • We will use VME or other types of controllers for Fastsignals and data acquisition. • We will use Ethernet everywhere and search for such devices that have Ethernet communication. 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  41. SESAME • Beam Lines Control System • Our strategy is to start building the control system of SESAME Beam Lines in parallel with the machine control system. • Getting experience from other light sources is very important to help us starting in the right way. • We will use similar environment to the machine in our control system and different in some parts. • Control Servers based on Virtual Machines / EPICS 3.14 • VME IOCs / SIEMENS PLC / MOXA Terminal servers 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  42. SESAME • Beam Lines Control System • The main system in any beam line is the motion system, so the motion control system will be the dominant part of the beam lines control system. • Motion control system includes different types of motors (stepper, servo, piezo), drivers for these motors, controllers to control the motors ,encoders to have a feedback and limits to know the start and end of motion. • To control the motion with EPICS, we need to choose the controller that is supported by epics and the software support for this controller. 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  43. SESAME • Beam Lines Control System • For EPICS support modules there are many light sources using the (Motor Record) which is developed by APS mainly and other people in the epics community. • Motor Record will be the best choice for us because it is used in SLS, DLS and other light sources. It supports also different types of controllers. • For the motion controller we have two choices: • - To use VME with OMS MAXv controller • - To use Ethernet based controller (Delta Tau, Newport, • Parker … etc) 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  44. SESAME • Beam Lines Control System • In SESAME we have five or more beam lines which are donated from different light sources, so we will find a collections of different hardware types. • It is very important to unify the control system that will be used for the Beam Lines, so in our case we will have a lot of work to do in investigation of the hardware that we have. • Our goal is to start building the low level software based on EPICS because we will have in the future a high level Data Acquisition Software for the Beam Lines which can deal with the huge amount of data and analysis of different experiments. 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  46. SESAME • Summary & Future Plans • Microtron and TL1 now are in operation with a new control system, but we still have some signals to be added to run both systems in the final shape. • We are doing a lot of effort now for the Booster control system trying to make it in operation as mentioned in the time plan. • We still do not have that experience in EPICS, but we got a training in different light sources and we succeeded to make many applications for EPICS and run different systems. • Last TAC we were three engineers and now we are two. Hiring a new engineer at least and a technician can help us working faster. • We have a control Lab that we have recently installed a testing rack there and this can help us for testing PLC,VME …etc. • We requested a list of tools, wires and terminals that we can use for the hardware installation. 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  47. SESAME • Summary & Future Plans • We are now focusing on the Booster dealing with each sub-system separately. Working together with other groups is very important to make our work more organized. • The PSS system will be connected to EPICS for monitoring • Naming Convention and Cabling are two important issues that we are working on. • We are working also to make documentation for our work and put it on the Intranet so other groups can see the status of our work. • Still we are learning EPICS and we have to implement Alarm Handler and Archiving systems. • We succeeded to build the VME environment and we succeeded to install the RTEMS on our old CPUs, but we should continue testing to have a stable reliable system. 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012

  48. SESAME • Conclusion • This is our second year working in SESAME and we can say that we are happy to see ourselves reaching this point and I am sure that next year we will be more proud that we are working here. • I would like to thank the virtual control group for their support especially: Mark Heron (DLS), Elder Matias (CLS), Pascale Betinelli (Soleil) and Jean-Francois Gournay (CEA). • I would like to thank you the (TAC) group for your valuable comments which gives us a motivation to work harder. 12th TAC , Nov. 9-10 ,2012
