Description
Lots of lightning talks
We present the current state of the HiLASE Centre control system. The aim of the development is to build a control system which would be in charge of the operation of kW-class in-house developed laser beamlines. These beamlines deliver picosecond pulses with repetition rates between 1 kHz and 1 MHz and high-energy nanosecond pulses at 10 Hz. A generic control system architecture is presented,...
This talk will be about the current status of EPICS beamline control at BESSY II. We are currently running on EPICS Base 3.14 with various VME based hardware, MVME162 / MVME2100 boards, different OMS motion controllers, Delta Tau PMAC2-VME, Delta Tau Geobricks and our control software, based on the TPMAC module.
The structure of each beamline is unique, they all have different control...
The exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities is the primary goal of the physics program of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR.
Charged hadron identification will be performed by a time-of-flight (TOF) measurement with a wall of RPCs.
EPICS is used for CBM-TOF slow control, which includes High Voltage, Low Voltage, Gas System, Front-End...
I&C design of ITER diagnostics is performed in a modelling tool called Enterprise Architect (EA), using UML profiles defined for diagnostics I&C. The information entered in these models is detailed enough to provide a decent export to the ITER static configuration database (SDD) and EPICS tools. The example will show how to convert EA models to SDD projects and EPICS DB files.
Particle accelerators are complex machines built from thousands of devices. For a neophyte, grasping how they work is challenging.
Using a virtual reality application for outreach to the general public is a way to raise interest of a broader audience. This technology immerses the user in a new environment with game-like elements to guide and highlight the experience. It can also give a much...
Over the past decade, J-PARC Main Ring have become more sophisticated
and more stable operation is required. Along with this, demands arose from experts of equipment and users that acquiring detailed and real-time information on the apparatus from the office LAN. On the other hand, a two-layered firewall quarantines the accelerator control network so that any manipulation of accelerator...
A new version “edmq” of the edm display editor/manager is being developed. edmq is intended as a plug-in replacement for edm.
edmq uses the Qt graphics system but is not predicated on Qt.
EPICS offers a collection of software tools for setting up distributed control systems for experimental physics projects.
In order to establish EPICS in the Max Planck Society (MPG) for device control and data acquisition as an alternative to commercial solutions, this project aims to increase the visibility of EPICS within the MPG.
It is planned to improve the documentation of EPICS and to...
At the CLS we use a small part of an in-house development called ControlSystemWeb as an easy notification system for changes in PV’s of interest, via texting or email. Using this notifier, plus IFTTT, Node-RED, and Google Home recipes, it is possible to have a home device announce these PV changes and further, to be able to turn this service on and off through voice commands.
The CLS runs approximately 1000 EPICS IOC applications on 400 hosts. Our goal is a single screen summarizing the real-time status of every IOC application. However, it is difficult to identify individual IOC applications based on their beacons. This talk summarizes the difficulties encountered in achieving our goal and describes a technique to map EPICS beacons to legacy IOC applications to...
1-wire system at NSLS-II provides an example of low cost measurement of large amount of temperature, humidity and other sensor signals. 1-wire sensors work great with any microcontroller using a single digital pin, and even multiple ones can be connected to the same pin, each one has a unique 64-bit ID burned in at the factory to differentiate them. This presentation will focus on the...
The real-time radiation dose monitor system is based on EPICS, and the system hardware is mainly composed of Raspberry Pi and XBee wireless communication module. The system designed the monitor function which can transfer the radiation dose value from dose meter to local PC wirelessly in a distance.
In a cooperation between ITER and HZB/BESSY II, a Device Support for the OPC UA industrial SCADA protocol is under development. Goals, status and roadmap will be presented.
ELVEFLOW OB1 uses piezoelectric technology, can deliver pressure from 200mbar to 8 bar, and measure flow as low as 1.5ul/min. It is popular in microfluidic mixing experiments. Vendor provides Windows based API. Asyn driver has been developed to support integration with EPICS.
The SwissFEL Low-level RF (LLRF) system controls more than 30 RF stations based on EPICS with the version 3.14.12. Except for performing general device controls, like configuring the RF/LLRF devices and acquiring RF data (e.g. RF waveforms), the LLRF system performs other complicated functions like RF signal processing, feedback and feedforward control and RF system calibration and...
EPICS applications are typically hosted on vxWorks, GNU/Linux, RTEMS, Solaris, MS Windows and MacOS operating systems. However, one of the most widely used operating systems is not included in this list: Android.
One could think that Android is typically out of the scope of EPICS environments, but looking from the opposite point of view: could manufacturers which base their products on...
The Tango DataBrowser is an application developed as Open Source in collaboration by SOLEIL and ANSTO. It allows the visualisation of scientific data files and control system data through a plugin architecture that supports HDF, Nexus and Tango/Tango Archiver.
We extended this tool with plugins for EPICS Process variables (ChannelAccess, .db files) and the EPICS Archiver Appliance (Google...
Accelerator controls at the ISIS Neutron Source currently uses the Vista controls system. We are beginning development of a new EPICS control system for our Front End Test Stand (FETS) to evaluate a potential migration of our existing controls system to EPICS. We present a brief overview of accelerator controls at ISIS, our progress in evaluating EPICS, and our plans to handle future migration.
