Hi again,
I failed to mention that for our LCLS project we have a pulsed machine.
We would need to have a way of interfacing our timing system into your
Power Supply Controllers.
If your system provides a PCI interface, this may work for our PMC-based
Event Receiver?
In terms of interlocks and such; we would also need some contact
closures and/or discrete I/O.
In any case, your interest in providing an EPICS solution "out of the
box", is excellent. :)
Thanks,
Ernest

Hello,
My company is researching providing an epics IOC with some of our
power supplies. I would like to get some feedback from the epics
community on what exactly would be required. First let me start off by
saying that epics is still a new area for me so hopefully these
questions aren't dumb, we are still in the early research stages on this.
What we would like to do is provide a system with each device that
will host an EPICS IOC. This will be a vxWorks based system running
epics base 3.14. This system will communicate with our device using
ethernet and convert standard UDP commands that our devices work on to
process variables. So for example our clients would now have a process
variable they could use to monitor or set the voltage of a power
supply (IE: powersys:voltage).
For the client side we would like to develop a LabVIEW interface, we
would most likely not be developing a custom C/C++ application for the
client.
Would this be adequate for most epics users or would more be required
to integrate this into an existing epics network? Would people use the
LabVIEW client we develop or do most labs use their own custom
software to control/monitor epics enabled equipment? Any feedback from
the community would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
