Stephanie Allison Integration with the SLC Control Systemsaa@slac.stanford.edu April 7, 2005 Receive SLC messages and act on them in the same way as existing SLC micros for: BPM-Like Data Acquisition (Gated ADCs) – beam synchronous Magnet-Like Control and Readback (All Controlled Devices) PNET Timing Diagnostics Maintain its part of the VMS SLC database: Receive the entire SLC database at initialization time Receive new setpoints at any time from the Alpha Send readbacks back to the Alpha on request and periodically Send setpoint changes made by external EPICS applications to the Alpha Goal – same amount of network traffic as SLC micros SLC IOC – What It Will Do

8. Stephanie Allison Integration with the SLC Control Systemsaa@slac.stanford.edu April 7, 2005 MPS BITBUS Power Supply Control KISNET Communication Micro-to-Micro Communication via Alpha SLC-style Analog Signal Monitoring SLC-style Digital Input/Output SLC-style Error Logging (use CMLOG instead) SLC-style Klystron Interface SLC-style Video Interface SLC-style Timing Interface (except PNET diagnostics) Direct Hardware Access (and no support for “virtual CAMAC” commands) Debugging from VMS SLC-Style Fast Feedback Interface Keep static data in the EPICS and SLC database up-to-date SLC IOC – What It Won’t Do

9. Stephanie Allison Integration with the SLC Control Systemsaa@slac.stanford.edu April 7, 2005 Piece-Meal functional requirements – big picture not always clear Endian – VMS to/from any possible EPICS platform (no 64 bit) Memory – CPUs that support SLC-aware IOC need memory Restart SLC tasks without restarting the IOC Detail diagnostics needed via the IOC shell, a subset via CA Keeping the EPICS and SLC database in-sync – 2 master problem Particularly for Magnet Control May need to increase max # of “micros” in the SLC control system May need a second proxy in the SLC production control system Magnet/BPM applications slow in developing SLC-Aware IOC Issues
