The purpose of this report is to show the possibility of application of artificial intelligence methods, in partcular expert system, for beam diagnostics. Beam diagnostics is a complex process of gathering, processing and representation of various information about beam by means of computer tools. A successful solving of these problems is necessary for effective management of accelerators not only during the operation, but also during assembling and tuning; for development of Control Systems, for increasing their operation reliability, improvement of metrologics etc. An expert system is capable to solve the task of analysis, choice and design of beam monitors for Accelerator Controls in accordance with their purposes, tecnical specifications, working conditions and choice criteria. The presented system runs on the PC/AT base, it provides intelligent support of all design stages of Control Systems and their operation process as well. The report presents basic results and the detailed design of the integrated expert system.
