The APS-U has changed many of the process variables(PVs) used for the last 25 years. This includes PVs related to EPS (or FEEPS), PSS, status, insertion devices, etc. Sometimes only the PV name has changed but in some instances the old PV does not have a direct replacement.

This wiki will help to describe what is new, what has been removed, and how to convert to using some of the new PVs available.

All APS-U PVs

All of the PVs currently served by the APS-U are listed in the files in the directory /APSshare/C2/iocinfo/pvdata/. This is an rsync of the oxygen-based directory /net/helios/C2/iocinfo/pvdata/. The files located in this directory are named after the IOC which hosts those PVs. By grepping through the files, one can determine if a PV exists or if the name has changed. 

% grep -s XFD:srCurrent /APSshare/C2/iocinfo/pvdata/*
/APSshare/C2/iocinfo/pvdata/siocblops:XFD:srCurrent

A useful tool located in /APSshare/bin called 'pvExist' will also confirm whether a PV is valid and what IOC is hosting it: 

% /APSshare/bin/pvExist XFD:srCurrent
Using IOC_INFO environment variable /APSshare/C2/iocinfo
siocblops:XFD:srCurrent
% /APShare/bin/pvExist XFD:srCurrent1
Using IOC_INFO environment variable /APSshare/C2/iocinfo
XFD:srCurrent1 not found

EPS (or FEEPS) PVs

Here are the Equipment Protection System PVs for APS-U. Compare to the old PVs as described at https://epics.anl.gov/bcda/aps/frontendpvs.php

Note that there are not 'xx' or 'yy' display subs - only 'Z' and 'a') In other words, display substitution is Z=Sxxyy, a=SxxyyFE where: 

     xx = 2 digit sector number
     yy = BM or ID

PSS PVs

There have been a significant amount of PV changes with the PSS PVs. Unfortunately there is no easy translation tool from older PVs to the new APSU PSS PVs.

Each beamline could look at the PSS Input/Output EPICS screens to determine what their new PVs are. This can be done by starting up /APSshare/adlsys/xfd-display then selecting the light blue PSS button, then selecting the drop-down blue button for the beamline (e.g. 27-ID). From there select either "Inputs" or "Outputs". If the beamline is a Gen4 system, then select either "Systems" or "Stations". These 2 EPICS screens will display all of the PSS PVs and you can find the appropriate ones needed.

According to the SI group, for Gen3 PSS system the shutter control PVs did not change. Only the Gen4 systems PVs were changed. For this second run in 2024, the Gen4 systems will be 8ID, 9ID, 15ID, 16BM, 19ID, 20ID, 22ID, 25ID (to be completed after the Aug 2024 shutdown), 31ID, 33ID and 34ID. See the following example PSS Gen4 PVs where: 

     xx = 2 digit sector number
     yy = BM or ID

Insertion Device PVs

Here is a list of old and new PV names for insertion devices. The names have changed but there is no change to their meanings.

Note that there is no sector 4 CPU and the messages for the message PVs are still the same as well.

Compare this to the previous page at https://epics.anl.gov/bcda/aps/idpvs.php 

$(xx) = 2 digit sector number
$(yy) = US or DS (Position of ID in storage ring straight)
(Note: there are not any xx or yy display subs, display substitution is P=SxxID:yyID)

Removed

The synchronous scanning PVs (those beginning with SS) have been removed. It is unlikely that any beamline was using these PVs.
