Can you add some information about the performance requirements?

What is your pulse rate?

What is the frequency at which the main controller needs to pass that information to the power supply controllers?

What is the latency you can tolerate, i.e. how long after the main controller sends the information must be acted upon by the power supply controller?

Subject: Reg programming in EPICS environment for master slave control

Hi,

I have a requirement where the experimental facility has 2 controllers. The main experimental control and the power supply control.
The experiment has to be carried out in coordination of the 2 controllers. The main controller passes the configuration parameters to the power supply controller , which checks the validity of the parameters for the next pulse and apply them to the power supplies.

I want to implement this system using EPICS platform. Can any one provide me some ideas as to how to initiate such kind of control programming using EPICS.
I have some basic idea since I have interface Siemens plcs with EPICS but have not done the master -slave (2 controller) communication at EPICS level.

Pls suggest how such programs can be completed.

Regards,
Himanshu
