SESSION 5
In order to protect the vacuum system for the Taiwan Light Source (TLS), a vacuum
interlock system has been developed. The status of all the vacuum devices,
including the sector gate valves, ionization gauges, and the pumps, are monitored
and hence the vacuum system can be protected as soon as a vacuum failure happened.
In addition, an alarm system has been established to monitor the...

SESSION 5
Diamond will utilise around 700 capture pumps, 350 total pressure gauge sets, 150
RGAs, and 100 pneumatic valves. The bulk of the equipment will be contained on the
machine and beamlines. The control of this equipment will be done though EPICS, the
chosen control system for Diamond.
A discussion here will concentrate on the following points.
· Interfacing the equipment into...

SESSION 5
In 2004 GSI changed the vacuum control- and interlock system from a software to a
hardware based system. It's used to control and monitor around 55 pneumatic sector
and five fast closing valves. The new control system, which is completely integrated
in the GSI accelerator control system, uses total pressure values, determined by the
current of ion pumps, and wide-range ion gauges. In...

SESSION 5
The RHIC storage rings have approximately 1600 vacuum instruments, consisting vacuum gauges, sputter ion
pumps, titanium sublimation pumps, residual gas analyzers, sector gate valves and turbopump stations. They
are distributed in eight service buildings and inside the RHIC tunnel. This PLC based control system has
performed well since 1997 to support the machine operation and the...
