Update on migration to EPICS at the ISIS accelerators
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility accelerators are migrating to an EPICS control system. The tools developed to run two control systems in parallel and to automate the migration of hardware and user interfaces to EPICS have been previously presented. We now detail our emerging EPICS setup. Hardware interfaces are implemented as a mixture of conventional EPICS IOCs, in-house developed equivalents in Python, and bridged through our old control system. Our user interfaces are primarily the Phoebus stack but web interfaces in Python are being explored, particularly to support machine learning purposes such as automated optimisation and anomaly detection. We present issues which may arise at any site in transition, such as handling continuity of data archiving
