High-Level Control Applications for SOLEIL Commissioning and Operation

The SOLEIL control system, namely TANGO, developed in collaboration with ESRF, is now mature and stable. TANGO has been also chosen now by several other laboratories. High-level control applications implemented in the control-room for the storage ring, the two transfer lines, and the booster will be described in this paper. Three kinds of tools for commissioning are used. First the generic TANGO tools (alarms, simple graphical control applications), which allow us to control in a simple way any TANGO Device Server. Secondly a Matlab Middle Layer (adapted from ALS and SPEAR3): Matlab is fully interconnected with TANGO; it is used primarily for writing physics control applications. Finally GlobalSCREEN, a commercial SCADA software devoted for building operation applications has been selected (panels for controlling or displaying setpoint, readback values, status of equipments). In addition an overview of the historical and short-term databases developed in house will be given.
