HRPD: Tensile Rig #2681
Comments
Notes from meeting with Alex Gibbs, 18-10-2017.Note: with updated information from @GDH-ISIS
|
Given that the DDS laptop, Mclennan & Eurotherms all live in the same 19" rack, Gareth has suggested that it would make sense to install a dedicated instance of IBEX on the laptop. That would allow IBEX to control all the equipment on the 19" rack (the tensile rig would continue to be controlled indirectly via the DDS software). A Moxa could be added to the 19" rack. This would make it simpler to move the Tensile Rig system between beamlines - the whole Tensile Rig would be a self-contained setup. This seems like a good suggestion. What obstacles/pitfalls are there to making it work in practice? How well would scripting work? |
From @GDH-ISIS Please consider running EPICS/IBEX on the laptop to take advantage of the distributed capability of IBEX. It would be great if this arrangement used a system that did not refer to the DAE in any form as previously requested for control of equipment (rather than a beam line). |
For the imat cameras and delft we run the relevant IOCs on the dedicated PC that controls the equipment (via a sort of mini-inst startup), as the laptop stays with the equipment this could be an applicable model to follow too |
Note : I believe they will require a local GUI on the laptop if this model was to be followed. |
Specification of laptop on Tensile Rig is:
|
Potentially a lot of work, Postpone until we are ready to migrate SXD. |
Informed HRPD that we can't do this work in time for Cycle 2017/03. |
As a scientist, I want IBEX to support the Tensile Rig, so that I can use it on HRPD.
