Integrated display management for control screens at APS accelerator complex

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) accelerator employs both MEDM and CSS Phoebus as display managers to support legacy control screens and the new displays introduced during the APS Upgrade project. This dual-system setup presents challenges in the organization, deployment, and maintenance of accelerator control displays. To address these issues, a unified, centralized framework has been developed by APS accelerator for managing the controls screens, regardless of format, purpose, or update frequency. This paper describes the strategies used by APS accelerator controls to organize, deploy, and maintain control displays. It also presents the tools and practices used to manage display managers across the APS accelerator control system.
