Abstract
The Lijiang 2.4-meter telescope has equipped several observation instruments at its Cassegrain focus. In order to maximize the observation efficiency, we need to realize the integrated control system for all the instruments. However, the original multi-band photometry control system doesn't satisfy the requirements of integration with other instruments, and needs to be redeveloped. Based on the study of the control system for YFOSC and the telescope, we redeveloped the control system of PICCD under the Linux system. We designed and completed three main modules:observation control program, device control program and instrument database, which has the unified control mode with YFOSC and telescope, make PICCD has the ability to be integrated with the control system of other instruments, and can finally meet the requirement of instrument control system (ICS) which can control all the instruments equipped on 2.4m telescope.
