Subject: Ongoing work to get the FRG gauges readouts to EPICs channels 

I have attached a flow diagram of my understanding of how the gauges are connected to the network.

Earlier today, I connected the XGS-600 gauge controller to the IOLAN Serial Device Server on port 192.168.114.22 .

The plan is a follows:

1. Update the serial device yaml file to include this new ip entry for the XGS-600 gauge controller

2. Create a serial gauge class "serial_gauge_xgs.py" for the XGS-600 gauge controller that inherits from the serial gauge parent class for EPICS communication with a serial device via TCP sockets.

  • Might be better to use the current channels of the devices that are being replaced initially, i.e.
  • C1:Vac-FRG1_pressure C1:Vac-CC1_pressure
    C1:Vac-FRG2_pressure C1:Vac-CCMC_pressure
    C1:Vac-FRG3_pressure C1:Vac-PTP1_pressure
    C1:Vac-FRG4_pressure C1:Vac-CC4_pressure
    C1:Vac-FRG5_pressure C1:Vac-IG1_pressure

3. Modify the launcher file to include the XGS gauge controller. Following the same pattern used  to start the service for the other serial gauges, we can start the communication between the XGS-600 gauge controller and the IOLAN serial server and write data to EPICS channels using

controls@c1vac> python launcher.py XGS600

If we are able to establish communication between the XGS-600 gauge controller and write it gause data to EPICS channels, go on to steps 4.

4. Create a serial service file "serial_XGS600.service" and place it in the service folder

5. Add the new EPICS channels to the database file

6. Add the "serial_XGS600.service" to line 10 and 11 of modbusIOC.service

7. Later on, when we are ready, we can restart the updated modbusIOC service
