In this paper, we present a preliminary study on using a Robinson wiggler, a wiggler with transverse gradient, to reduce the horizontal beam emittance of the Hefei Light Source II (HLS-II) storage ring. A proof-of-principle study demonstrates that it is possible to further reduce the horizontal beam emittance by 50\% using a 2-meter long Robinson wiggler installed on a dispersive straight section. This encouraging result suggests a feasible option to significantly improve the HLS-II performance at a relative low cost and without significant modification to its global configuration in the near future.

  The RFC 460R PLC from Phoenix Contact is a high-performance controller that has been extended to offer redundancy functionality. This redundancy functionality is vital for uninterrupted processes in complex systems and large plants. In order to integrate this product into EPICS environment, an EPICS Driver is developed. This driver is intended to connect a pair of RFC 460R redundant PLCs via TCP/IP to an EPICS IOC. In this paper, the communication mechanism, software implementation and the test results of a prototype system will be described.
