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
