Since 2000 the Canadian Light Source (CLS) control system architecture has been based on to the use of small single board computers for equipment control running the RTEMS operating system. CLS has started to migrate to a new off-the-shelf single board computer platform (based on the Moxa embedded computer platform. In 2001 CLS also adopted the use of fibre optic bridges and industrial PC equipment in place of VME slot zero controllers. Today this continues to be the basis of our higher performance data acquisition and control applications. This paper outlines the lessons learned from nearly eight years of operational use of the this technology. | ||
