Title:     The Advanced Photon Source Control System - Integrated Relational Management of Components, Cables and Process Variables

Abstract: The Advanced Photon Source is a user facility serving typically from  40 to 50 simultaneous experiments.  While supporting ongoing  accelerator improvements, the focus for the Accelerator Systems Division is shifting towards maximizing the beam availability  to the user community. 

This talk will describe an initiative by the APS Controls Group that  uses a relational database approach 'IRMIS' to provide an online,  queriable representation of the operating accelerator configuration.  The IRMIS model captures the components making up the accelerator  control system, and how they are interconnected (-the cabling  system). The goal is to relate the control system software to these  hardware field components and cabling subsystems, thus providing an  infrastructure for both hardware and software fault diagnosis and optimization. 

Dr. Dohan will be visiting TRIUMF from Jan 25-27. Contact person is Rolf Keitel.
