CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THE TPS CONTROL SYSTEM

Baseline design of the Taiwan photon Source (TPS) control system of NSRRC is proposed. The control system design is based on EPICS toolkits. Guidelines for hardware platform and operating system choice will be addressed. The EPICS test bed will be setup to evaluate various selected hardware and software components. The TPS control system will provide versatile environments for machine commissioning, operation, and research. The open architecture will facilitate machine upgrade, modification without toil and minimized efforts for machine maintenance. Performance and reliability of the control system will be guaranteed from the initial design phase.
