| WEP08 | A Universal System Based on WebSocket and JSON for the Employment of LabVIEW External Drivers | controls, software, power-supply, network | 47 |
|
|||
|
One of the heaviest workloads when installing a Control System on a plant is the development of a large number of device drivers. This is even more true in the case of scientific facilities for which you typically deal with many custom devices and legacy code. In these cases, it is useful to consider the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach that consists in lessen the planning phase and give more emphasis on an adaptive process, so that software prototypes can be successfully used in addition to or in place of design specifications. LabVIEW* is a typical RAD-oriented development tool and is widely used in technical laboratories where many stand-alone programs are developed to manage devices under construction or evaluation. An original system that allows software clients to use external LabVIEW drivers is presented. This system, originally created for the !CHAOS Control System**, is entirely written in LabVIEW and is based on JSON messages -transmitted on a WebSocket communication- driving LabVIEW VIs through dynamic calls. This system is completely decoupled from the client and is therefore suitable for any Control System.

| WEP13 | Control System Upgrade for the FFAG Accelerator Complex at KURNS | controls, EPICS, PLC, FFAG | 60 |
|
|||
|
Fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator complex has been operated as a proton driver for the experiment of accelerator driven system (ADS) at Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science, Kyoto University (KURNS)*. PLC based control system has been developed and the operator interface has been connected to PLC via network. Originally, a LabVIEW based operational interface was chosen to construct the system because of its easiness. However we met an upgrade problem, and a new control system based on EPICS instead of LabVIEW was introduced in 2010. In the spring of 2018, the replacement from LabVIEW to EPICS has been almost completed except for the beam interlock system and the LINAC control system provided by LINAC production company (AccSys). Also, the EPICS archiving tool (Archiver Appliance) has been invoked and operated at the end of 2017. This Presentation reports the details of the current control system and also the upgraded GPIB control and storage system.

| WEP19 | TINE Release 5.0 : A First Look | controls, Windows, software, operation | 77 |
|
|||
|
The TINE* control system evolved in great part to meet the needs of controlling a large accelerator the size of HERA, where not only the size of the machine and efficient online data display and analysis were determining criteria, but also the seamless integration of many different platforms and programming languages. Although there has been continuous development and improvement during the operation of PETRA, it has now been 10 years since the last major release (version 4). Introducing a new major release necessarily implies a restructuring of the protocol headers and a tacit guarantee that it be compatible with its predecessors, as any logical deployment and upgrade strategy will entail operating in a mixed environment. We report here on the newest features of TINE Release 5.0 and on first experiences in its initial deployment.

| THP03 | Marvin Update ’ the Robotic Sample Mounting System at the Embl-Hamburg | controls, software, experiment, detector | 163 |
|
|||
| In this article we give an overview about the controls of the robotic sample mounting system Marvin in user operation at the DESY Petra III synchrotron Beamlines of the EMBL. Two protein crystallography Beamlines each equipped with the in house build robotic sample mounting system are in user operation. The controls of the sample mounting system ‘Marvin’ and especially new developments to decrease down times as well as system recovery routines will be described in detail. | |||
