Present Status of VEPP-5 Control System

Abstract

This report concerns the present status of VEPP-5 control system. The control system hardware consists of CAMAC blocks, a set of crate controllers based on INMOS transputers and ICL-1900 architecture processor Odrenok, and Pentium-based workstations. For small tasks simple serial CAMAC controllers are used. For slow controls of power supplies the CANBUS is begun being used. The workstations are running Linux and are connected via local net using TCP/IP. Odrenok crate controllers are joined into other local net and are used for control of equipment in high voltage pulse condition (klystron gallery). Transputer crate controllers are linked directly to the server computer and are used for high performance diagnostics (BPM). The three-level software complies the so-called ``standard model''.
