For safely and efficiently operating a spallation neutron source and a muon target, a general control system (GCS) operates within Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF), GCS administers operation processes and interlocks of many instruments for various operation statuses. It consists of several subsystems such as an integral control system (ICS), interlock systems (ILS), shared servers, network system, and timing distribution system (TDS). Although GCS is an independent system that controls the target stations, it works closely with the control systems of other facilities in J-PARC. Since the first beam injection in 2008, GCS has operated stably without any serious troubles after modification based on commissioning for operation and control. Then, significant improvements in GCS such as upgrade of ICS by changing its framework software and function enhancement of ILS were proceeded until 2015, in considering sustainable long-term operation and maintenance. In recent years, many instruments in GCS have replaced due to end of production and support of them. In this way, many modifications have been proceeded in the entire GCS after start of beam operation. Under these situation, it is important to comprehend upgrade history and present status of GCS in order to decide its upgrade plan for the coming ten years. This report will mention upgrade history, present status and future agenda of GCS.

In this way, many modifications have been proceeded in the entire GCS during a period of approximately ten years after start of beam operation. Under these situation, it is important to comprehend upgrade history and present status of GCS in order to decide its upgrade plan. This report summarizes outline, structure, roles and functions of GCS in 2017.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：50.33(Physics, Applied)The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) provides software infrastructure and framework for building distributed control systems (DCS) to operate beam line devices. The DCS based on EPICS has been adopted by many accelerator facilities in the world, where reliability, maintainability, and scalability of the system have been demonstrated. This system is also used to operate the high energy proton accelerator in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). We here report on the EPICS-based remote control system developed for operating the decay muon beam line in J-PARC. Major functions of beam line devices, three bending magnets, eighteen quadrupole magnets, and four slits, are accessible via Ethernet from a graphical user interface composed of the Motif Editor and Display Manager (MEDM).

Then, significant improvements in GCS were proceeded until 2015 in considering sustainable long-term operation and maintenance. In recent years, many instruments in GCS have replaced to next generation models due to end of production and support of them. This report summarizes upgrade history of GCS during a period of approximately ten years after start of beam operation, and its present status. As future plan, it will also discuss development of an abnormality sign determination system that can detects potential abnormality from slight state transitions of target stations by analyzing operation data over the entire MLF.
