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.

FR1BCO02	Controls at the Fermilab PIP-II Superconducting Linac	1607
	D.J. Nicklaus, P.M. Hanlet Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois, USA
	PIP-II is an 800 MeV superconducting RF linac under development at Fermilab. As the new first stage in our accelerator chain, it will deliver high-power beam to multiple experiments simultaneously and thus drive Fermilab’s particle physics program for years to come. In a pivot for Fermilab, controls for PIP-II are based on EPICS instead of ACNET, the legacy control system for accelerators at the lab. This paper discusses the status of the EPICS controls work for PIP-II. We describe the EPICS tools selected for our system and the experience of operators new to EPICS. We introduce our continuous integration / continuous development environment. We also describe some efforts at cooperation between EPICS and ACNET, or efforts to move towards a unified interface that can apply to both control systems.

FR1BCO03	SKA Project Status Update	1610
	N.P. Rees SKAO, Macclesfield, United Kingdom
	The SKA Project is a science mega-project whose mission is to build the world’s two largest radio telescopes with sensitivity, angular resolution, and survey speed far surpassing current state-of-the-art instruments at relevant radio frequencies. The Low Frequency telescope, SKA-Low, is designed to observe between 50 and 350 MHz and will be built at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. The Mid Frequency telescope, SKA-Mid, is designed to observe between 350 MHz and 15 GHz and will be built in the Meerkat National Park, in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Each telescope will be delivered in a number of stages, called Array Assemblies. Each Array Assembly will be a fully working telescope which will allow us to understand the design and potentially improve the system to deliver a better scientific instrument for the users. The final control system will consist of around 2 million control points per telescope, and the first Array Assembly, known as AA0.5, is being delivered at the time of ICALEPCS 2023.

FR1BCO04	The Controls and Science IT Project for the SLS 2.0 Upgrade	1616
	A. Ashton, H.-H. Braun, S. Fries, X. Yao, E. Zimoch PSI, Villigen PSI, Switzerland
	Operation of the Swiss Light Source (SLS) at the Paul Scherrer Institue (PSI) in Switzerland began in 2000 and it quickly became one of the most successful synchrotron radiation facilities worldwide, providing academic and industry users with a suite of excellent beamlines covering a wide range of methods and applications. To maintain the SLS at the forefront of synchrotron user facilities and to exploit all of the improvement opportunities, PSI prepared a major upgrade project for SLS, named SLS 2.0. The Controls and Science IT (CaSIT) subproject was established to help instigate a project management structure to facilitate new concepts, increased communication, and clarify budgetary responsibility. This article focusses on the progress being made to exploit the current technological opportunities offered by a break in operations whilst taking into consideration future growth opportunities and realistic operational support within an academic research facility.
