1. Application of Ethernet/LXI-based Instruments in the TPS Project Speaker: Yung-Sen Cheng (鄭永森) Instrumentation & Control Group, NSRRC, Taiwan

2. Outline • Introduction • EPICS Support for Remote Access of Ethernet/LXI-based Instruments • Remote Waveform Access of Oscilloscope • Remote Access of Temperature Measurement Modules • Future Works

3. Introduction • The EPICS is adopted as control system framework for the TPS. • The various Ethernet/LXI-based Instruments will be used for special purposes. • Build the EPICS support for remote operations of Ethernet-based Instruments. • By using remote operations, long distance cabling could be eliminated and signal quality could be improved. • The existed Ethernet/LXI-based oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers are adopted to implement the EPICS support to achieve remote waveform access.

7. EPICS Support for Remote Access of Ethernet/LXI-based Instruments • A server which runs the Linux operation system has been built as the dedicated soft-IOC to communicate with instrumentations via Ethernet interface. • The IOC uses the TCP, VXI-11 or Modbus/TCP protocol to communicate with LXI/Ethernet-based instrumentations. • The client console can acquire data and set parameters by using various OPI toolkits (ex: EDM, MATLAB and etc) through PVs channel access.

8. The System Architecture of EPICS Support for Remote Access • Use the cPCI platform to be a dedicated soft-IOC to build the EPICS support for remote access Ethernet-based instruments. (ex: Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, Signal/Function Generators, Meters and etc.)

9. The Software Architecture of EPICS Support for Remote Access • Use the ASYN module and the StreamDevice module. • Use SCPI commands which recorded in the protocol files (StremDevice) for remotely operating instruments. OS: Fedora 11 (or RHEL 5.4) EPICS Base: 3.14.10 ASYN: 4.11a StreamDevice: 2.4 EDM: 1.12.xx

14. EPICS Support of Temperature Measurement Modules • We built the EPICS support of temperature measurement modules: • Data Translation TEMPpoint DT8872-48 • MOXA ioLogik E1260 • ICPDAS PET-7015 • The EPICS support with using the Modbus protocol have built for MOXA ioLogik E1260/ICPDAS PET-7015.

15. Comparison of Temperature Measurement Modules

16. Future Works • Test the system loading of a soft-IOC which is connected with numbers of Ethernet-based Instruments. • Management of EPICS related files. • The EPICS related files at IOCs and consoles are mounted from file server (use NFS service). • Study of save/restore setting parameters. • Study of archiving waveform data.
