UNICOS Open-Source

Introduction

This page provides links to the open-source version of UNICOS (artifacts only; sources are available on demand).

UNICOS is built on three main pillars:

  • UNICOS-SCADA: SCADA layer
  • UNICOS CPC: PLC layer
  • UAB: Engineering tool

The open-source version of UNICOS is identical to the one used at CERN, except that it does not include components specific to the CERN environment, such as CMW server and client managers, the LASER manager, and other CERN-specific integrations.

The open source license of each component is available in each artifact under the LICENSE file or data/LICENSES folder if multiple licenses apply.
