Abstract :
We have developed a tri-level Personal Computer-based RaceTrack Microtron control system capable of processing 75 accelerator parameters. Custom smart front-end devices monitor 20 pulse parameters while we control other parameters with commercial multi-channel data acquisition cards. We use a Real-Time Linux operating system and fulfill both hard and soft real-time tasks in the first two levels. We use static fuzzy logic and dynamic direct digital methods in Level-2 to control parameters and assure long-term stability. In Level-3 we support a database of fully described accelerator parameters and operational rules; establish man-machine and world interfaces; provide script handling; and implement RTM startup, tuning, and monitoring models
