WPO016 | Magnet Power Supply Control Mockup for the SPES Project | 66 |
|
||
The Legnaro National Laboratories employs about 100 Magnet Power Supplies (MPSs). The existing control infrastructure is a star architecture with a central coordinator and ethernet/serial multiplexers. In the context of the ongoing SPES project, a new magnet control system is being designed with EPICS [1, 2] based software and low cost embedded hardware. A mockup has been setup as a test stand for validation. The paper reports a description of the prototype, together with first results.

FPO014 | New Data Archive System for SPES Project Based on EPICS RDB Archiver with PostgreSQL Backend | 191 |
|
||
SPES project [1] is a ISOL facility under construction at INFN, Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, which requires the integration between the accelerator systems actually used and the new line composed by the primary beam and the ISOL target. As consequence, a migration from the actual control system to a new one based on EPICS [2] is mandatory to realize a distributed control network for the new facility. One of the first implementation realized for this purpose is the Archiver System, an important service required for experiments. Comparing information and experiences provided by other Laboratories, an EPICS Archive System [3] based on PostgreSQL is implemented to provide this service. Preliminary tests are done with a dedicated hardware and following the project requirements. After these tests used to determinate a good configuration for Database and EPICS Application, the system is going to be moved in production, where it will be integrated with the first subsystem upgraded to EPICS. Dedicated customizations are made to the application for providing a simple user experience in managing and interact with the archiver system.
