The STAR experiment has been delivering significant physics results for more than 20 years. Stable operation of the experiment was achieved by using a robust controls system based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). Now an object-oriented approach with Python libraries, adapted for EPICS software, is going to replace the procedural-based EPICS C libraries previously used at STAR. Advantages of the new approach include stability of operation, code reduction and straightforward project documentation. The first two sections of this paper introduce the STAR experiment, give an overview of the EPICS architecture, and present the use of Python for controls software. Specific examples, as well as upgrades of user interfaces, are outlined in the following sections.

20 多年来，STAR 实验一直在提供重要的物理结果。实验的稳定运行是通过使用基于实验物理和工业控制系统 (EPICS) 的稳健控制系统实现的。现在，一种面向对象的 Python 库方法适用于 EPICS 软件，将取代之前在 STAR 使用的基于过程的 EPICS C 库。新方法的优点包括操作稳定性、代码减少和直接的项目文档。本文的前两节介绍了 STAR 实验，概述了 EPICS 架构，并介绍了 Python 在控制软件中的使用。以下部分概述了特定示例以及用户界面的升级。
