TICS - Control System Software for the TISOL Facility at TRIUMF

TICS is a flexible control system software package which was developed for operating the on line isotope separator test facility TISOL at TRIUMF. TICS is based on a system description language which is used to describe the controlled system, including interlocks, alarm reactions, and display. At startup the description is compiled into control tables, allowing for easy reconfiguration. TICS can drive a variety of control hardware and can be configured to run distributed over several computers.
