Abstract

The RIKEN heavy ion accelerator complex is controlled by means of three minicomputers, which are linked with one another through optical fiber networks. CAMAC serial highway and GP-IB are used for the link with accelerator devices. Two types of intelligent modules are developed for the interface to devices; one is a CAMAC module and the other is a control module for high-speed local control of the accelerator devices. The operating system is a combination of a real-time and a UNIX system. Application programs are written in FORTRAN 77 language. A color display-based operator's console is adopted with the aim of simple operation and flexibility for future modification and expansion.
