TUPDP136	Control Systems Design for STS Accelerator	903
	J. Yan, S.M. Hartman, K.-U. Kasemir ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the US Department of Energy (DOE). The Second Target Station (STS) Project will expand the capabilities of the existing Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), with a suite of neutron instruments optimized for long wavelengths. A new accelerator transport line will be built to deliver one out of four SNS pulses to the new target station. The Integrated Control Systems (ICS) will provide remote control, monitoring, OPI, alarms, and archivers for the accelerator systems, such as magnets power supply, vacuum devices, and beam instrumentation. The ICS will upgrade the existing Linac LLRF controls to allow independent operation of the FTS and STS and support different power levels of the FTS and STS proton beam. The ICS accelerator controls are in the phase of preliminary design for the control systems of magnet power supply, vacuum, LLRF, Timing, Machine protection system (MPS), and computing and machine network. The accelerator control systems build upon the existing SNS Machine Control systems, use the SNS standard hardware and EPICS software, and take full advantage of the performance gains delivered by the PPU Project at SNS.

TUSDSC08	Phoebus Tools and Services	944

	The Phoebus toolkit consists of a variety of control system applications providing user interfaces to control systems and middle-layer services. Phoebus is the latest incarnation of Control System Studio (CS-Studio), which has been redesigned replacing the underlying Eclipse RCP framework with standard Java alternatives like SPI, preferences, etc. Additionally the GUI toolkit was switched from SWT to JavaFX. This new architecture has not only simplified the development process while preserving the extensible and pluggable aspects of RCP, but also improved the performance and reliability of the entire toolkit. The Phoebus technology stack includes a set of middle-layer services that provide functionality like archiving, creating and restoring system snapshots, consolidating and organizing alarms, user logging, name lookup, etc. Designed around modern and widely used web and storage technologies like Spring Boot, Elastic, MongoDB, Kafka, the Phoebus middle-layer services are thin, scalable, and can be easily incorporated in CI/CD pipelines. The clients in Phoebus leverage the toolkit’s integration features, including common interfaces and utility services like adapter and selection, to provide users with a seamless experience when interacting with multiple services and control systems. This presentation aims to provide an overview of the Phoebus technology stack, highlighting the benefits of integrated tools in Phoebus and the microservices architecture of Phoebus middle-layer services.

After its first release in 2017, EPICS version 7 has been introduced into production at several sites. The central feature of EPICS 7, the support of structured data through the new pvAccess network protocol, has been proven to work in large production systems. EPICS 7 facilitates the implementation of new functionality, including developing AI/ML applications in controls, managing large data volumes, interfacing to middle-layer services, and more. Other features like support for the IPv6 protocol and enhancements to access control have been implemented. Future work includes integrating a refactored API into the core distribution, adding modern network security features, as well as developing new and enhancing existing services that take advantage of these new capabilities. The talk will give an overview of the status of deployments, new additions to the EPICS Core, and an overview of its planned future development.
