USB L-CARD - controller

7. New light modules for diagnostics
New backlight elements based on the LED Cree XP-E 1 W, Red with operational control
designed and produced
test on the Pellet target in progress

8. Raspberry PI 3 Model B – as bridge to EPICS
DAQ for pellet target – mix of present system with integration to EPICS of GSI/FAIR
Data acquisition system
Software will be modified for integration to EPICS system of GSI/FAIR.
Use of Raspberry Pi controller as bridge for slow control system
Present DAQ system – based on individual software-hardware modules (installed on PAC, PLC controllers and Windows PCs) united by TCP/IP Sockets protocole and using of MySQL database for data storing
Data To pellet target
Data From PANDA control system
Ready for start
Stop of pellets generation
Pellet size and frequency
Start of pellets generation
Error in pellet target
Set of luminosity mode (ten or more variations)
Actual luminosity mode
Raspberry PI 3 Model B – as bridge to EPICS
Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System at GSI (already using in PANDA and CBM experiments)
