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.

FR1BCO01 Status of the European Spallation Source Controls 1600
 
  • T. Korhonen
    ESS, Lund, Sweden
 
  The European Spallation Source has made substantial progress in the recent years. Similarly, the control system has taken shape and has gone through the first commissioning and is now in production use. While there are still features and services in preparation, the central features are already in place. The talk will give an overview of the areas where the control system is used, our use and experience with the central technologies like MTCA.4 and EPICS 7, plus an overview of the next steps. The talk will also look at what was planned and reported in ICALEPCS 2015 and how our system of today compares with them, and the evolution from green field project to an operating organization.
