Make an IOC application 

 $ cd /home/irudolf
 $ mkdir top_PScontrols
 $ cd top_PScontrols
 $ makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc PScontrols
 $ makeBaseApp.pl -i -t ioc PScontrolsIOC
 Using target architecture linux-x86 (only one available)
 The following applications are available:
     PScontrols
 What application should the IOC(s) boot?
 The default uses the IOC's name, even if not listed above.
 Application name? PScontrols

Install StreamDevice 

 $ cd /opt/epics/deviceSupport
 $ mkdir top_streamApp
 $ cd top_streamApp
 $ wget http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/streamdevice/StreamDevice-2-4.tgz
 uncompress the archive file
 $ tar -zxvf StreamDevice-2-4.tgz
 make an EPICS support application
 $ makeBaseApp.pl -t support streamApp
 edit into the file /opt/epics/deviceSupport/top_streamApp/configure/RELEASE 
 $ vi configure/RELEASE
 add the following line to end of the file:
 ASYN=/opt/epics/deviceSupport/asyn-4.10/

Make the StreamDevice 

 $ cd StreamDevice-2-4
 $ make

Edit into the file /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/configure/RELEASE 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/configure/RELEASE
 add the following line to the file:
 ASYN=/opt/epics/deviceSupport/asyn-4.10/
 STREAM=/opt/epics/deviceSupport/top_streamApp/

Make ASYN and StreamDevice available for your DB records: 

 $ cd /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols
 edit into the file /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/PScontrolsApp/src/PScontrolsDBD.dbd
 $ vi PScontrolsApp/src/PScontrolsDBD.dbd
 put the following lines into the empty file:
 ...
 include "base.dbd"      #This line includes definitions on all conventional EPICS Base records like ai, ao, calc, ...
 include "stream.dbd"    #This line includes the device definitions for StreamDevice and adds the "stream" option to the DTYP fields in any I/O records
 include "asyn.dbd"      #This line and the two followings loads the definitions for ASYN which is used by StreamDevice
 registrar(drvAsynIPPortRegisterCommands)
 registrar(drvAsynSerialPortRegisterCommands)
 ...

Edit into the source Makefile: 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/PScontrolsApp/src/Makefile
 comment out the line "PScontrols_DBD += base.dbd" and insert just after the following line:
 PScontrols_DBD += PScontrolsDBD.dbd

And insert the following lines into the same Makefile: 

 $ vi /home/user/top_powerSupply/PSupplyApp/src/Makefile
 #Following the instructions on page http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/streamdevice/doc/
 PROD_LIBS += stream
 PROD_LIBS += asyn

Make the PScontrols application: 

 $ cd /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols
 $ make

Protocol files

Make a directory for the protocol files: 

 $ cd /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC
 $ mkdir protocols

Create a protocol file in /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC/protocols (or copy the most recent one there in our case) like: PS_controls_20090219.proto. Insert a line to the start-up script /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC/st.cmd after line "< envPaths": 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC/st.cmd
 epicsEnvSet ("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH", ".:../protocols:./protocols")

Serial port communication

Build up the serial port communication between EPICS records and the power supplies. First open the serial port channels by ASYN in the startup script st.cmd. There are 5 set of power supplies needing individual serial communication:

  • Target heating: 4 current regulated power supplies connected parallel; range: 0-10 V, 0-1320 A; name: PSC_4set_target
  • Line heating: 3 current regulated power supplies connected parallel; range: 0-15 V, 0-660 A; name: PSC_3set_line
  • Magnet (solenoid): 1 current regulated power supply; range: 0-30 V, 0-110 A; name: PSC_magnet
  • Anode: 1 voltage regulated power supply; range: 0-300 V, 0-5 A; name: PSV_anode
  • Owen: 1 current regulated power supply; range: 0-30 V, 0-50 A; name: PSC_owen

Provided DeviceMaster is installed on your system (consult section: DeviceMaster) you have to add the following lines into the startup script st.cmd: 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC/st.cmd
 drvAsynSerialPortConfigure ("PSC_4set_target","/dev/ttySI0")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_4set_target", 0, "baud", "19200")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_4set_target", 0, "bits", "8")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_4set_target", 0, "parity", "none")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_4set_target", 0, "stop", "1")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_4set_target", 0, "clocal", "Y")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_4set_target", 0, "crtscts", "N")

 drvAsynSerialPortConfigure ("PSC_3set_line","/dev/ttySI1")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_3set_line", 0, "baud", "19200")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_3set_line", 0, "bits", "8")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_3set_line", 0, "parity", "none")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_3set_line", 0, "stop", "1")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_3set_line", 0, "clocal", "Y")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_3set_line", 0, "crtscts", "N")

 drvAsynSerialPortConfigure ("PSC_magnet","/dev/ttySI2")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_magnet", 0, "baud", "19200")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_magnet", 0, "bits", "8")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_magnet", 0, "parity", "none")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_magnet", 0, "stop", "1")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_magnet", 0, "clocal", "Y")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_magnet", 0, "crtscts", "N")

 drvAsynSerialPortConfigure ("PSV_anode","/dev/ttySI3")
 asynSetOption ("PSV_anode", 0, "baud", "19200")
 asynSetOption ("PSV_anode", 0, "bits", "8")
 asynSetOption ("PSV_anode", 0, "parity", "none")
 asynSetOption ("PSV_anode", 0, "stop", "1")
 asynSetOption ("PSV_anode", 0, "clocal", "Y")
 asynSetOption ("PSV_anode", 0, "crtscts", "N")

 drvAsynSerialPortConfigure ("PSC_owen","/dev/ttySI4")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_owen", 0, "baud", "19200")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_owen", 0, "bits", "8") 
 asynSetOption ("PSC_owen", 0, "parity", "none")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_owen", 0, "stop", "1")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_owen", 0, "clocal", "Y")
 asynSetOption ("PSC_owen", 0, "crtscts", "N")

Sequencer programs

Make (or copy) sequencer files into /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/PScontrolsApp/src/ and register the sequencer programs in a dbd file in the same directory. In our case it looks like that: 

 $ vi ramping_machine_20090409.dbd
 registrar(TE_current_rampingRegistrar)
 registrar(IE_current_rampingRegistrar)

Invoke the dbd file in the application makefile: 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/PScontrolsApp/src/Makefile
 ...
 PScontrols_DBD += ramping_machine_20090409.dbd
 ...

Invoke the sequencer libraries in the application makefile: 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/PScontrolsApp/src/Makefile
 ...
 PScontrols_LIBS += seq pv
 ...

Invoke the sequencer program files in the application makefile: 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/PScontrolsApp/src/Makefile
 ...
 PScontrols_SRCS += TE_ramping_machine_20090409.stt
 PScontrols_SRCS += IE_ramping_machine_20090409.stt
 ...

Define the sequencer compilation rules in the file configure/RELEASE 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/configure/RELEASE
 SNCSEQ=/opt/epics/sequencer/sncseq-2.0.12

Finally invoke the sequencer programs in the startup script st.cmd: 

 $ vi /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC/st.cmd
 seq TE_current_ramping, "instrID=TargEheater"
 seq IE_current_ramping, "instrID=IonizerEheater"

Make your IOC application: 

 $ cd /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols
 $ make

If you change the names of the seqencer files you have to run "make clean" first and then "make".

Starting the IOC

Give read and write privilages to all serial ports: 

 $ su
 # chmod a+rw /dev/ttySI*
 # ls -l /dev/ttyS*
 # exit

Set the baud rates on the Power Supplies to 19200 bps

Boot the IOC: 

 $ cd /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols/iocBoot/iocPScontrolsIOC
 $ ../../bin/linux-x86/PScontrols st.cmd

MEDM

Make a directory for the medm in /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols 

 $ cd /home/irudolf/top_PScontrols
 $ mkdir medm
