Different from the legacy archiver system\, this system is built on InfluxDB database and Plotly visualization toolkits. InfluxDB is an op en-source time series database system and provides a SQL-like language for fast storage and retrieval of time series data. By replacing the old arch iving engine and index file with InfluxDB\, we have a more robust\, compac t and stable archiving server. On a client side\, we intro- duce a new imp lementation combined with asynchronous programming and multithreaded progr amming. We also describe a web based archiver configuration system which i s asso- cated with our current IRMIS system. To visualize the data stored\ , we use Javascript Plotly graphing library\, another open souce toolkits for time series data\, to build front-end pages.

Most of the PSS hardware and software is no longer availabl e\, supported or repairable. This would affect the availability of the mac hine and beamlines for experiments.\n\nThis project aims to reduce the ris k of a facility wide unplanned shutdown - resulting from a fault in the Ma chine PSS system by executing an upgrade/ replacement of the existing PSS PLC hardware and software platform in a planned manner.\n\nThis upgrade wi ll also deploy all the PSS related hardware and software for new front end s. This will make possible for new beamlines/frontends to be integrated in to the Machine PSS\, accommodating BRIGHT projects.\n\nThe project has bee n awarded to a system integrator and the design stage is under way. Major installations is scheduled for Dec 2019 followed by SAT\, validation and h andover in Jan 2020. \n\nThe new PSS will be based on Siemens safety PLCs and PROFISafe remote I/O system. The same technology will be used for new BRIGHT beamlines' PSS. One of the main advantages of the new system is the ability to simulate the safety application code that allows us to fully t est the safety functions and minimise the commissioning issues.\n\nhttps:/ /events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/85/contributions/2544/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron Oliphant Auditorium URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/85/contributions/2544/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:COSY upgrade for JEDI experiment DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181114T052500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181114T053000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260413T233411Z UID:indico-contribution-85-2554@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Robert Modic (Cosylab)\nWe will present a migration of FZJ COSY (COoler SYnchrotron) controls to EPICS.

Its age and mechanical implosion of the vacuum wind ow are two modes of potential failures that can bring the whole beamline d own for several months. To maintain the highest level of availability for users and to overcome the inherent technical limitations of in-air detecto rs\, a new Pilatus3 2M detector and dedicated in-vacuum end-station system will be used. That will increase the detection efficiency significantly. \nA new vacuum system including pumps (roughing\, backing and 2 turbo pump s)\, new combined micro Pirani/Piezo vacuum gauges and vacuum control valv es will take care of the vacuum in the end-station\, sample chamber and no se cone. Existing EPS PLC will control this vacuum system via a new remote I/O island. Related IOC database and EPICS GUIs will be updated and a new GUI will be developed for the new vacuum system.\nWe conducted a complete risk analysis on this project and found following safety risks that shoul d be mitigated using safety PLCs. \nA 250mm custom-made gate valve can be exposed in several cases and likely lead to serious injuries. To mitigate that risk\, the existing Beamline PSS\, interlocked to the hutch search st ate\, will control gate valve actuation. Safety vacuum switches on upstrea m and downstream sides of the valve will ensure that the valve is closed. In addition\, a safety valve on the compressed air path will isolate the g ate valve whenever someone is in the hutch to make sure that the valve wil l not move. \nIn-vacuum detector motion (in beam direction) at 80-100mm/s will be accessible if the vacuum vessel is open and it can cause permanen t disability. Since the motion controller does not have Safe Torque Off ca pability\, we will modify that to be able to remove the power from motion drive amplifier via safety rated relays. Existing beamline PSS will cut th e power when there is a safety risk.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.a u/event/85/contributions/2552/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron Oliphant Auditorium URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/85/contributions/2552/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Motion Control Standards DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181114T053500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181114T054000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260413T233411Z UID:indico-contribution-85-2571@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Wayne Lewis (OspreyDCS)\nA consistent set of standar ds for motion control implementation is important for allowing a\nfacility to efficiently develop\, implement\, and maintain the motion control syst ems.

PyAcq c onsists of several separate components. A pure Python EPICS-aware server f etches queued scans\, runs them\, and writes collected data to HDF5 files. Native EPICS applications provide the server with SSCAN records for step scans\, hardware driven fast scans\, and a beamline configuration wrapper . A pure Python client (GUI)\, decoupled from EPICS\, connects to the serv er. The client is used to configure scans\, queue them\, and visualize res ults. The user can dynamically adjust MCA ROIs\, input math functions\, an d visualize the effect on both running and completed scans.

STXM microscopes have been a staple in spectromicr oscopy for nearly 30 years\, and as such has seen many innovations of that time span. The heart of the technique is the use of software to control t he numerous devices that work in coordination with each other to produce a wide range of spectral images. Over the last 4 years the CLS has develope d a STXM data collection software called pySTXM\, that is focused on the e xperiment as well as user efficiency. The GUI was implemented in Python us ing Qt as the application framework\, and all device control as well as th e scanning engine were implemented in EPICS. Some of the design goals of p ySTXM include leveraging the growing knowledge of python in the greater sc ientific community\, placing equal importance on the ability to scale and maintain the software while at the same time presenting a powerful yet fri endly GUI regardless of the experience level of the user\, and minimizing or remove dependencies on licensed and obsolete third party software. Ther e has been interest from several European labs in the user interface with the desire to integrate it with their (non EPICS) control systems. We will describe the overall architecture and motivations for the design choices made as well as present some of the more unique aspects of the user interf ace that have garnered the attention from other facilities.\n\nhttps://eve nts01.synchrotron.org.au/event/85/contributions/2098/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron Oliphant Auditorium URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/85/contributions/2098/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Next EPICS Collaboration Meeting DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181116T003500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181116T004000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260413T233411Z UID:indico-contribution-85-2342@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ralph Lange (ITER Organization)\n[ITER][1] will be h osting the EPICS Collaboration Meeting in June 2019.
