EuroGammaS needed a subcontracting partner that could accelerate the system integration, as well as take on responsibility for a well-defined part of the project. They found and hired Cosylab as the one-stop solution provider and system integrator for the control system of the GBS. We drew upon our extensive experience with control system integration for projects such as the European Spallation Source and ITER to provide scope, guidelines and control system integration concepts. In a complex machine such as the ELI-NP GBS, a central control system manages the whole machine, from the source to the Gamma Beam Characterization System. We were convinced that the control system should be based on industry standard open-source software and structured in such a way that made it is easy to upgrade – substituting elements, devices or subsystems with new counterparts.
