Following a link from the Cosylab article . . .
- A list of EPICS control system implementations in Big Science: https://worldwidescience.org/topicpages/e/epics+control+system.html#
. . . a date of 1984 caught my eye, leading to this article . . .
EPICS system: an overview, Bartlett, J.F.; Bobbitt, J.S.; Kramper, B.J.; Lahey, T.E.; MacKinnon, B.A.; West, R.E., 1984-02-01
. . . which describes the Experimental Physics Interactive Control System (EPICS) developed at Fermilab for the proton synchrotron using PDP-11 and CAMAC, written in PASCAL, and using a BASIC language command interpreter.
So we weren’t the first to use the EPICS name for an accelerator control system. (And now Fermilab is trying again with EPICS for their accelerators.)
