| == '''V4 – Executive Summary''' ==
| | The information that was on this page is obselete. |
| *Provide online add/delete of I/O to support continuous operation.
| |
| *Provide redundant control of remote I/O to support improved reliability.
| |
| *Provide name introspection and domain control in support of seamless *integration of large control systems
| |
| *Provide triggers, filters, and rate limits to improve resource use of network and client side processing
| |
| *Provide hierarchical devices to support higher level view of application in the front-end processors.
| |
| *Provide automatic backup and restore to support bump-less reboot and synchronization of redundant controllers.
| |
| *Provide atomic read, write, and write with read-back to multiple channels to support synchronized access of arbitrary sets of channels.
| |
| *Support international users with uni-code and time.
| |
| *Remove limitations on string lengths, device states, number of input links to support arbitrary sizes.
| |
| *Internationalize Time Stamps
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Structure and Array Support''' ==
| |
| *Allows definition and access to complex devices and multi-dimensional arrays
| |
| *Name hierarchy in Channel Access
| |
| **<arbitrary string>.structure. Element[n]
| |
| **e.g. Arc3PwrSupply.readback.status, ArcPwrSupply.readback.value
| |
| *Device description in database
| |
| *Support arbitrary number of inputs to calculations and subroutines.
| |
| *Support multi-state devices of an arbitrary number of states
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Data Acquisition Capabilities''' ==
| |
| *New subscription parameters
| |
| **Rate limit
| |
| **Value changes (as before but also % change)
| |
| **Triggers
| |
| **Filters
| |
| **Examples
| |
| **Send BPM at 1 Hz (where 1 Hz across IOCs is the same)
| |
| **Send BPM when trigger specifies that this pulse is e-
| |
| **Send RF reading when filter says that vacuum is higher than 10e-6 torr
| |
| *Allows more accurate requests for data on client applications
| |
| *Reduces the amount of network and client CPU usage
| |
| *Specify priority for circuit - QOS
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Device Read/Write Operations''' ==
| |
| *Allows multiple fields to be read/written as an atomic operation
| |
| *Reads/Writes can be triggered
| |
| **e.g. Put( Corr1.K, Corr2.K, Corr3.K, on trigger event)
| |
| **All puts take place when the trigger event occurs
| |
| *Write with return data support (Command/Response)
| |
| *Ramping/arb function outputs – given two end points
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Name Resolution Extensions''' ==
| |
| *Allow wildcard searches
| |
| *Allow request to send all names supported in the IOC
| |
| *Support redundancy by allowing connections to specify that they are not active
| |
| *Support multiple name servers by allowing connections to specify how close to the source they are.
| |
| *Name aliasing supported.
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Online Add / Delete''' ==
| |
| *Support hardware address change during operation
| |
| *Allow new record instances to be loaded at any time
| |
| *Support addition of hardware of an already supported type (64x)
| |
| *Support addition of new hardware during operation.
| |
| *Remove records during operation.
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Redundancy: Multiple masters of remote I/O''' ==
| |
| *Support name responses from multiple controllers of the same database.
| |
| *Support request for all fields from a primary database to its backup.
| |
| *Support a request for all fields that have changed since the last synchronization of the backup to the primary.
| |
| *Support a mechanism for switching from the primary to the backup.
| |
| *Provide a mechanism for synchronizing primary and the backup.
| |
| *Support multiple communication paths that provide
| |
| **an isolated network for synchronization traffic
| |
| **redundant checks to synchronize switch over behavior.
| |
| *Provide a mechanism to start/stop scanning
| |
| *Provide a mechanism to start/stop sequences
| |
| *Provide a mechanism to start/stop drivers from scanning
| |
| | |
| == '''V4 – Support Large / Multi-segmented Control System''' ==
| |
| *Support load balancing between multiple data sources (1st order gateway, 2nd order gateway, IOC, and load).
| |
| *Support domain control independent of network topology
| |
| **Beamline data is not available to the control room
| |
| **Only insertion gap and beam quality information is available to the beamline controls from the ring control room.
| |
| | |
| =='''V4 – Extendable Metadata / Properties''' ==
| |
| *Metadata can be extendable –
| |
| **Add array dimensions
| |
| **Add time base to an array
| |
| **Application programmers can add metadata
| |
| *Specify metadata by field rather than record
| |
| **Only get metadata when it is meaningful
| |
| **No display limits for the high display limit
