Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean, but I think we are doing what
you are suggesting.  We have, for example, x-ray detectors (MAR, Roper)
that have an EPICS soft IOC running on the Linux or Windows computer
that controls the detector.  When we turn on the detector and its soft
IOC boots we can then control the detector from other IOCs that run the
rest of the beamline.  Is that plug and play?
