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
