Description
Due to the difficult geopoltical context, travelling to the site of the SARAF accelerator is no longer possible. Thus, CEA/Irfu, in collaboration with SNRC, has taken a variety of measures to enable the remote integration and commissiong of the EPICS control system. The notable measures are the enhanced testing of software and firmware deliveries; the construction of a test bench dedicated to the Machine Protection System; the daily remote control sessions to integrate new control bricks or to support accelerator operation; and the training of SNRC teams to EPICS technologies, at Saclay in France. All these measures keep the project moving forward in an efficient and risk-free way, though we still need to find solutions for the next stages of the commissioning.
