The aim of this project is to develop a controller to run the High Voltage Generator (HVG) for the 2MV Tandetron accelerator (Small Tandem Accelerator for Research (STAR)) at ANSTO.
The HVG is a solid state voltage multiplier used instead of a belt or pellet chain to generate the high potential for the accelerator terminal.
The current HVG controller PCB is damaged and is running in a...
Xilinx Alveo FPGA processing cards are used for DSP in beamformers for both CSIRO Parkes telescope CryoPAF and SKA-Low Telescope Correlator and Beamformer projects. The telescope control systems use EPICS and TANGO respectively. We have used pyOpenCL to create a control-system-independent layer to the beamformer firmware in the Alveo card then used caproto to create a Python IOC for interface...
In the Australian Synchrotron, we have standardised our motion controls based on Omron's PowerBrickLV(r), an advanced and versatile controller platform.
In order to utilise the advanced features of these controllers while maintaining the complexity that comes with the versatile and multi-purposed controller, DLS developers team led the community by setting up a software stack with modules in...
At the Australian Synchrotron we use a tool to allow entry of the operational area controls system structure which includes both the assembly and control hierarchies. This tool also includes auto generate of component (devices, controllers, hosts, IOCs) names, and API endpoints that can be used by other applications.
At the Australian Synchrotron we will use a combination of tools to capture the operational area controls system structure and from it generate engineering GUIs for that area at a click of a button.
Under current University re-structure, we have limited resources allocated for upgrades and regular maintenance of the HIAF control system. We will structure this talk as an open discussion session dedicated to the current status and future development of HIAF control system and potentially engaging some collaborators from the delegation to form an advisory/workforce group to address those issues.
