Control Systems in MT

Wednesday 13 Jul 2016, 12:00 → 15:00 Europe/Berlin

WCRC 14.51-6312, main BESSY office building, second floor (Berlin (HZB))

The ChimeraTK control system adapter (https://github.com/ChimeraTK/ControlSystemAdapter, formerly known as MTCA4U control system adapter) is currently being extended with features like limiters, engineering units and history. These improvements will bring the control system adapter from a proof of concept study to a tool for real life application. This meeting is a follow up of the "Control Systems in MT" session held at KIT in March 2016 (https://indico.desy.de/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=14183). It will focus on the feature extension and the status of the implementations for the different control systems (DOOCS, EPICS3, UPC-UA).

This is a satellite sesison of the 4th ARD-ST3 workshop held at HZB (http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/events/ard-st3/index_de.html)
