Description
RAON (Rare Isotope Accelerator complex for On-line experiments), a heavy-ion linear accelerator designed to advance basic and nuclear science with rare-isotope beams, successfully completed beam commissioning and, for the first time, provided beam user service for its low-energy section using an argon beam in 2024. The successful operation of such a complex and massive accelerator system requires an integrated control system capable of real-time monitoring and control of all devices and subsystems. The RAON control system is built on the EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) software framework, facilitating communication with individual devices connected through PLCs or serial servers. Furthermore, each local system is equipped with interlock logic implemented using the EPICS sequencer, designed to ensure an immediate response to emergency situations. During beam delivery, operators monitor and control the entire system through OPIs (operator interfaces) built with CS-Studio in the main control room, providing comprehensive oversight and access to real-time data. This abstract presents the current status of the control system for the injector section of RAON.
