Local Console System using Java on personal computers for high energy accelerators

A Local Console System has been designed and implemented using Java for high-energy accelerators. The Local Console System provides information on accelerator control operation in order to control and monitor the high-energy accelerator components. The system was implemented on PC computers running under WindowsNT. The system allows operating the accelerator as well as diagnosing the accelerator at any place in the field through the network. The system provides functionality of consoles either in the control room or, if a failure occurs in the accelerator, in the vicinity of the faulty accelerator component. The system can greatly reduce the shutdown time caused by a malfunctioned accelerator component. The design and implementation of the system is described
