Abstract
FECR ion source is replaced with LAPECR ion source temporarily for other components performance testing in LEAF. LAPECR ion source can afford intense low charge state or medium charge state ion beams. This paper introduces the control system which comprises software, hardware and the interlock system. The control system is based on EPICS and the device supports are developed in Linux. CSS is utilized as the Operator Interface. Commercial controllers and PLCs are adopted to control devices, acquire experimental data and create interlock system. At present, LAPECR ion source has provided beam (150 μA, 4H1+, 0.5Mev) for RFQ outlet. This control system can work stable and interlock system can effectively protect equipment from damage.
