Abstract

CIS is the 200 MeV Cooler Injector Synchrotron now being commissioned at IUCF. This paper gives an outline of the entire control system, emphasizing its software aspects. While this is a modest project done with small budget and staff, it includes control of an ion source, an RFQ-linac pre-injector, a synchrotron and associated beamlines. The hardware platform is based on VMEbus, using modules both purchased commercially and developed in-house, DEC Alpha workstations, X-Terminals and a Vsystem software system. This paper discusses our hardware-software interfaces, experience with operator generated control screens, diagnostics displays using BPM and Harp beam sensors, magnet ramp calculation, modification and control, cycle-to-cycle ramp corrections and timing control
