1. 1 1999/Ph 514: Lab #5 : Course Projects EPICS Lab #5 Course Projects

2. 2 1999/Ph 514: Lab #5 : Course Projects EPICS Bipolar Power Supply u Develop an EPICS control system for a unipolar power supply and a relay to implement a bipolar supply. Requirements : Operator enters a value from -50 amps to +50 amps Rate of change of current must not exceed 10 amps/sec The relay must only be changed when the current = 0 amps Readback should indicate actual ramping current and range from -50 to 50 amps Provide a warning when actual current does not equal setpoint 0 - 50 Amp Power Supply Magnet Current : -50 to +50 Amps + -

3. 3 1999/Ph 514: Lab #5 : Course Projects EPICS Elevator Control System u Develop an EPICS control system for a building elevator u Simple or complex model of an elevator u Choose the EPICS building blocks to implement intelligence u Database, State Notation Language, C subroutines u Choose how to present model u I/O Bugs, Digital I/O cards, MEDM screens etc. u Concentrate on areas most interesting and useful to you

4. 4 1999/Ph 514: Lab #5 : Course Projects EPICS Grading u Credit will be given for: u Logical design (documented?) u Appropriate use of EPICS facilities u i.e. Use records where appropriate rather than workstation-based clients u Intuitive interface for the operator/user u Maintenance Information u More detailed displays u Debugging messages u Working model, implements normal expected behavior u Artistic merit
