	When the NI LabVIEW EPICS Server I/O Server is used to integrate NI CompactRIO devices running under VxWorks into EPICS, we notice that it only supports "VAL" field, neither alarms nor time stamps are supported. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a new LabVIEW Channel Access Portable Server (PCAS) Interface is developed, and is applied to the Hefei Light Source (HLS) cooling water monitor system. The test results in the HLS cooling water monitor system indicate that this approach can greatly improve the performance of the NI CompactRIO devices in EPICS environment.

FPO012	A Real-Time Data Logger for the MICE Superconducting Magnets	FPGA, real-time, EPICS, controls	185
	J.T.G. Wilson STFC/DL, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom
	The Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) being constructed at STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory will allow scientists to gain working experience of the design, construction and operation of a muon cooling channel. Among the key components are a number of superconducting solenoid and focus coil magnets specially designed for the MICE project and built by industrial partners. During testing it became apparent that fast, real-time logging of magnet performance before, during and after a quench was required to diagnose unexpected magnet behaviour. To this end a National Instruments Compact RIO (cRIO) data logger system was created, so that it was possible to see how the quench propagates through the magnet. The software was written in Real-Time LabVIEW and makes full use of the cRIO built-in FPGA to obtain synchronised, multi-channel data logging at rates of up to 10kHz. This paper will explain the design and capabilities of the created system, how it has helped to better understand the internal behaviour of the magnets during a quench and additional development to allow simultaneous logging of multiple magnets and integration into the existing EPICS control system.

	A new machine operation status broadcasting system has been developed for Siam Photon Source (SPS), a 1.2 GeV synchrotron light source in Thailand. The system is implemented using web-based interface, and broadcasts the information over the SPS website, mobile application, as well as local TV network within the SPS facility, allowing users as well as technical personnel to easily access a variety of information related to the machine via web browsers and other mediums. The new system also provides supporting message services for alarm, event notification, and other operational necessities. In this report, the design of web and mobile applications, which are based on HTML5, CSS3, and adopts PHP, AJAX, Bootstrap framework (for responsive design), jQuery, High charts JS, Twitter widget, and others, will be described.
