Updates from EPICS facilities
The ITER control system started integration and operation of in-kind deliveries in 2018. Since then, the integrated control system has been expanded with monitoring and control of ITER buildings and utilities and is poised to receive the first contributions to the distributed real-time control of the ITER machine.
A control system integration process has been defined to address the...
D-TACQ produces a range of networked DAQ systems with flexible IO configuration. Each system has "EPICS Inside", running the business logic, and publishing control, diagnostic and data points on Channel Access. The talk shows an example of customising the internal IOC to fulfill a customer function that also has general use.
Beckhoff IO is economical, robust, and exceedingly diverse. Their complete EtherCAT terminal line can be utilized without a PLC, or an EtherCAT master occupying a NIC by using an EK9000 Modbus coupler. The coupler maps the PDO of EtherCAT terminals to Modbus registers and coils, in a similar fashion as the Beckhoff BK9000 (which only works with the K-bus terminals [Beckhoff proprietary]). This...
