The PANDA experiment will be build at the antiproton storage ring HESR, a part of the new accelerator facility FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany. PANDA aims amongst others for high precision measurements in hadron spectroscopy and search for exotic matter.
To guarantee the high resolution of the different components a detector control system (DCS) monitoring temperatures, humidity, pressure, and controlling chillers and power supplies is needed.
The DCS of PANDA is build using the open-source software package EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) with a PANDA specific version of Control-System Studio.
The concepts and plans for the PANDA DCS and new developments will be presented.
