The South African Isotope Facility (SAIF) at iThemba LABS is well into its commissioning phase. The intention of SAIF is to free up our existing Separated Sector Cyclotron to do more physics research and to increase our radioisotope production and research capacity. An EPICS based control system, primarily utilising EtherCAT hardware, has been developed that spans the control of beamline equipment, target handling and bombardment stations, vault clearance and ARMS systems. Various building and peripheral services like cooling water and gases, HVAC and UPS have also been integrated into the control system via Modbus and OPCUA to allow for seamless control and monitoring. An overview of the SAIF facility and the EPICS based control system is presented. The control strategies, hardware and various EPICS and web based software and tools utilised are presented.
