Reminders on Conventions for Development, Deployment, and Documentation

IOC Application Development & Deployment

• Name new IOC according to naming convention
• Request Ned to define the IOC in IRMIS IOC table
• Request Ned to create iocinfo directories
• Request Randy to enter IOC-specific boot information
• Enter into “Installed Components” … idt::component
• For IOCs on the Controls subnet, install ASDSTD tools
• Boot from /usr/local/iocapps

EPICS Device Support Development & Deployment

• Device support that is likely to be used by more than one top app should be developed as a Module

PLC Development & Deployment

• Name new PLC according to naming convention
• Hardcode version # into the ladder logic and have the IOC read it back to a PV
• Enter PLC tag into the st.cmd file
• Create folder in asdctls/plcapps (follow conventions) for ladder logic
  • Create zip and pdf of ladder (follow naming convention)
  • Create zip for Touch Screen Code (follow naming convention)
  • Check above into ICMS with the PLC name as a keyword
• Enter PLC and I/O modules into idt::components
• Enter “Description” for PLC in IRMIS:PLC Info Viewer

Custom Designed Modules/Chassis

• Place all engineering documentation in asdctls/documentation/components/custom/[component_name]
• If a web page is provided for easy navigation through these folders, put it in the top folder and name it index.html
• Request Ned/Scott to define the component type in IRMIS
• Contribute EPICS device support to EPICS Website

Commercial Modules/Components

• Store User Guides,etc in asdctls/documentation/components/commercial/[component_name]
• Contribute EPICS device support to EPICS Website

Installed Systems

• Define AOI
• Mark up st.cmd file with AOI tags
• Record major changes in worklog
• Check block diagrams, wiring lists, troubleshooting guides, etc into ICMS with the AOI name as a keyword
• Enter all deployed components in idt::component

Controls Logbook

• Record operational issues
