This has repre sented all too common challenges to maintain facilities where whole beamli nes may have been built by staff who have taken full freedom or design\, a nd left the organisation with little to no documentation or support.

In the following 20 years the EPICS control system has been expanded to manage more than the controls of ANTARES\, such as logging facility radiat ion monitors\, SF6 storage\, users\, etc. Though there have been some modi fications to the controls infrastructure over time\, the underlining netwo rks\, security\, and hardware have become liabilities which require new so lutions to meet modern requirements. This presentation will discuss these areas of concern along with new challenges faced with our new facilities and current directions. Feedback from the forum on the topics discussed is invited and appreciated.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/132 /contributions/3639/ LOCATION:AS Zoom 2 URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/132/contributions/3639/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Enhanced ion beam injection for HIAF DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201030T022000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201030T024000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260416T053450Z UID:indico-contribution-132-3637@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Peter Linardakis (Australian National University)\nA ustralia’s Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) at the Australian Natio nal University (ANU) is undertaking\na project to upgrade its ion beam inj ection capabilities. This involves the installation of an electrostatic\na nalyser (ESA) to be used with the existing MSNICS ion source and a new add itional ion source to produce\nnegative helium beams. The project requires a major reconfiguration of ion sources at level 5 of the facility to\nacc ommodate three ion sources and upgrade the functional safety system to pro tect staff from the high voltage\ndecks. Both the ESA and negative helium ion source will be supplied by National Electrostatics Corporation\n(NEC)\ , with control components being a mix of NEC and ANU supplied components. Upon completion\, the\nproject will deliver improved sensitivity of Accele rator Mass Spectrometry for heavier nuclide detection and\n3He and 4He (al pha particles) that users are demanding for research problems ranging from fundamental\ninvestigations of the quantum mechanics of nuclei to medical applications.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/132/contributi ons/3637/ LOCATION:AS Zoom 2 URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/132/contributions/3637/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Australian Synchrotron BRIGHT Project DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201030T024000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201030T030000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260416T053450Z UID:indico-contribution-132-3638@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alan Ng (ANSTO - Australian Synchrotron)\nQuick over view of what a Synchrotron is and its application\, an overview of the cur rent 9 active beamlines and what new capabilities BRIGHT program will brin g to the Australian Synchrotron.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/ev ent/132/contributions/3638/ LOCATION:AS Zoom 2 URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/132/contributions/3638/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Controls Overview - The Australian Synchrotron DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201029T221000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201029T223000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260416T053450Z UID:indico-contribution-132-3628@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alan Ng (ANSTO - Australian Synchrotron)\nAustralian Synchrotron Control systems team provides design\, installation\, deploym ent and support capabilities for motion control applications on all curren t and future beamlines.
