3 EPICS 2011 Spring Collaboration Meeting, Hsinchu, June 13-17, 2011 Consideration for Pulse Magnets and Its Controls In-house made. Assembly one-by-one. Test at laboratory after one unit is finished. Is 6U cPCI solution suitable for its control? One set control many pulsers (all ?) is feasible. It need assembly at the installation site which will be possible very late! => no good for manpower usage of control teams. => Manpower are precious resource. How about EPICS embedded in PLC might a better solution Items for consideration6U cPCIPLC EPICS IOC Small I/O countsNo cost effectiveYes Timing solutionEVRNO (at this moment) Interlock protectionPossibleGeneric EPICS supportsYES One-by-one assembly and testTediousSimple Final DecisionTiming OnlyOne set for one Pulser
