TUMBCMO38 | Towards the Zero Code Waste to Increase the Impact of Science | 456 |
|
||
Accelerators and other big science facilities rely heavily on internally developed technologies, including control system software. Much of it can and is shared between labs, like the Tango Controls and EPICS. Then, some of it finds broad application outside science, like the famous World Wide Web. However, there are still a lot of duplicating efforts in the labs, and a lot of software has the potential to be applied in other areas. Increasing collaboration and involving private companies can help avoid redundant work. It can decrease the overall costs of laboratory development and operation. Having private industry involved in technology development also increases the chances of new applications. This can positively impact society, which means effective spending of public funds. The talk will be based on the results of a survey looking at how much scientific institutes and companies focus on collaboration and dissemination in the field of software technologies. It will also include remarks based on the authors’ experiences in building an innovative ecosystem. | ||

WE2BCO05 | Continuous Modernization of Control Systems for Research Facilities | 993 |

Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC0500OR22725. The Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been in operation since 2006. In order to achieve high operating reliability and availability as mandated by the sponsor, all systems participating in the production of neutrons need to be maintained to the highest achievable standard. This includes SNS integrated control system, comprising of specialized hardware and software, as well as computing and networking infrastructure. While machine upgrades are extending the control system with new and modern components, the established part of control system requires continuous modernization efforts due to hardware obsolescence, limited lifetime of electronic components, and software updates that can break backwards compatibility. This article discusses challenges of sustaining control system operations through decades of facility lifecycle, and presents a methodology used at SNS for continuous control system improvements that was developed by analyzing operational data and experience. |
