Abstract
The Camera Control System (CCS) of the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) serves as the core imaging module and is a complex distributed system composed of multiple devices. Building upon the Remote Autonomous Control System 2nd (RACS2), in this paper the RACS2-CCS framework was proposed and characterized mainly by its event-driven nature. The design incorporates basic control functions, a component manager mechanism, a file management mechanism, and a site interface component mechanism. The RACS2-CCS system can efficiently organize complex control processes, monitor system status, manage data files, and facilitate interactions between systems (such as the Observatory Control System (OCS) and the Telescope Control System (TCS)). This system is practically applied within WFST CCS.
