Summary
A control system is being provided for PBFA-I, an operational accelerator, to control subsystem functions such as sequencing of oil, water, gas, and vacuum controls, to coordinate charging and firing sequences, and to control safe and idle modes of the machine. Important design concepts in automating this system are: reliability, flexibility, and operability. Reliability is a primary criterion for executing single pulsed power and physics experiments as well as for supporting extended experimental series without a failure that would cause downtime. Flexibility to respond to changes in operating parameters and experimenter needs is being implemented in two major areas: a modular I/O system to provide hardware flexibility, and structured software to ease software maintenance. Operability is increased with user-friendly software, and automatic sequencing.
