THPDP029	Alpi-Piave Beam Transport Control System Upgrade at Legnaro National Laboratories	1374
	M. Montis, F. Gelain, M.G. Giacchini INFN/LNL, Legnaro (PD), Italy
	During the last decade, the control system employed for ALPI and PIAVE Accelerators was upgraded to the new EPICS-based framework as part of the new standards adopted in the SPES project in construction in Legnaro. The actual control for beam transport was fully completed in 2015 and it has been in production since that year. Due to the power supply upgrade and to optimize costs and maintenance time, the original controllers based on in-dustrial PCs were substituted with dedicated serial-over-ethernet devices and Virtual Machines (VMs). In this work we will describe the solution designed and imple-mented for ALPI-PIAVE accelerators.

European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a neutron source using proton beam Linac of expected 5MW beam power. Designed and implemented by INFN-LNL, the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) control system is based on EPICS framework as indicated by the Project Requirements. This document aims to describe the results of the first part of the control system commissioning stage in 2022, where INFN and ESS teams were involved in the final tests on site. This phase was the first step toward a complete de-ployment of the control system, where the installation was composed by three sequential stages, according to the apparatus commissioning schedule. In this scenario, the firsts Site Acceptance Test (SAT) and Site Integrated Test (SIT) were crucial, and their results were the mile-stones for the other stages: the lessons learned can be important to speed up the future integration, calibration, and tuning of such a complex control system.
