Slow Controls: Core System
Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Widely used and supported at national labs (eg ANL, BNL)
Drivers for most hardware Already used for Hall-B / CLAS
Expertise within collaboration Used at MCC
Lots of on-site expertise Communication with other control sytems

Slow Controls: Hardware Support
A list of “standard” supported hardware has been compiled
Drivers exist (or will be written / updated) Detector groups strongly encouraged to use this.
Identify non-standard hardware Develop drivers
Time estimate: 1 person year.

Slow Controls: Front End
Control Systems StudioEclipse-based collections of tools to monitor and operate large scale control systems, such as the ones in the accelerator community.
Developed and used by many big labs (DESY, SNS, BNL)
Maintained and supported Easy to develop user GUIs Tool to convert old style .adl GUIs.
Will be used by Hall-D Much groundwork and testing already done.
CSS already being tested on existing CLAS EPICS

Slow Controls: Alarms
Single table or tree view
Sort by PV, Urgency, Severity .. Connect with:
Other CSS components Variable passing, alarm timelines E log entries Send alarm PV to other PV tool Web reports
Will be used by Hall-D
Much groundwork and testing already done

Slow Controls: Archiving
CSS has integrated archiving
RDB (Oracle, MySQL, PostgresSQL) Access to timelines etc – like live system.
MCC have developed MYA MySQL base EPICS Archiver Already tested and used Offered as a service to other Halls
CSS or MYA ? Hall D evaluated options - they will use MYA MYA integrated into CSS – best of both
MCC developing this CLAS 12 will use MYA + CSS

Slow Controls: Summary
Core system: EPICS R3.14
Work well underway Supported hardware list produced Drivers ready within 1 year
Front End: CSS (Control Systems Studio) Installation and testing in progress.
Alarm: BEAST (Best Ever Alarm System) To be installed and tested over summer
Archiving (MYA) To be set up over next year in consultation with MCC
