The Tevatron Control System is a large distributed facility controlling the 6.28km Tevatron Accelerator from more than thirty distinct control locations. The system employs CAMAC hardware as the primary control interface. Self-cycling microprocessor based systems that utilize more suitable computer bus architectures are readily accommodated. The scale and nature of the Tevatron warrants special consideration as to system throughput and snapshot data handling. Computer based facilities can be provided at the service building level to assist host computer functions and to permit local diagnostics.
