Status of the EPICS-based Accelerator Control System of the S-DALINAC* — •Christoph Burandt, Jonny Birkhan, Joachim Enders, Thorsten Kürzeder, Norbert Pietralla, Thomas Schösser, and Manuel Steinhorst — Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany

The Superconducting Darmstadt Electron Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC) is the primary research instrument of the Institut für Kernphysik at TU Darmstadt providing beams mainly for experiments on nuclear structure physics. Its control system has been migrated to an EPICS-based system throughout the last years.

The development during this phase focused on the hardware frontend layer in order to allow for basic beam operation. However, some higher-level services like archiving and save/restore have already been installed, but still need to be reworked by some degree and complemented with additional services like an alarm handling system.

This contribution will show the architecture of the S-DALINAC’s accelerator control system and will summarize the ongoing development of the higher-level service layer.
