Control System Data Management from an Operational Point of View

Conference ·
OSTI ID:841718

Day-to-day operation of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) requires the management of over 25,000 signals on the EPICS control system. Operators need to carry out tasks such as saving the present state of the machine, restoring old machine states and rebooting IOCs. Several tools for performing data management tasks are described in this paper. The saving and restoring of signals from a user friendly GUI using the Tcl/Tk programming language is presented, along with a method for recovering from IOC reboots, both intentional and unintentional.
